    can confirm, its always DNS. Even when it looks like a network issue, its DNS

    Oh man. One of my old companies, the Devs would always blame the network. Even after we spent a year upgrading and removing all SPOFs. They’d blame the network…..

    “Your application is somehow producing 2 billion packets per second and your SQL queries are returning 5GB of data”…. “See! The network is too slow and it has problems”

    Dev: My app's getting a 400 hitting the server. Your firewall changes broke it.

    Me: You're getting to the server, it's giving you back a malformed request error. Most likely it's a problem in your client.

    Dev: it worked fine until you made that change in QA.

    Me: Your server is in production.

    After that, I just get too busy to look at it for a while.... They figure it out eventually.

    I always view the source of websites like this and this is one of the worst I've seen. 217 lines of code (including inline Javascript?!) and a Google tag for some reason, all to put the word YES in green on black.

    this made me mad so i made a single, ultra minimal html page in 5 minutes that you can just paste in your url box

    data:text/html;base64,PCFkb2N0eXBlaHRtbD48Ym9keSBzdHlsZT10ZXh0LWFsaWduOmNlbnRlcjtmb250LWZhbWlseTpzYW5zLXNlcmlmO2JhY2tncm91bmQ6IzAwMDtjb2xvcjojMmYyPjxoMT5JcyBpdCBETlM/PC9oMT48cCBzdHlsZT1mb250LXNpemU6MTJyZW0+WWVz

    source code:

    <!doctypehtml><body style=text-align:center;font-family:sans-serif;background:#000;color:#2f2><h1>Is it DNS?</h1><p style=font-size:12rem>Yes

    Did not think of doing that.

    I guess i never expected anyone to have a fcking JavaScript on a simple page as that

    lmao, considering some of the meaningless comments there i'm starting to think it's "vibe coded".
