I always love it when some massive piece of web infrastructure goes down but most websites I use are self-hosted so the only real effect is I see lots of news stories that cloudflare is down.

I Guess many lemmy instances are not as much decentralized as they thought.

    Cache-ing is a hard problem to solve. For MANY years cloudflare was the cheapest and easiest way to solve the issue.

    But the same people that started cloudflare have moved on or passed away. Now its just another corp. So yeah we are going to get downtime. In the corporate world, its the standard so no one is going to move off it.

    ...unless it keeps going down consistently.

    For those who are in the know, does memcache work with lemmy/piefed? What is a good Cache for modern day systems?

    I dont use cloudflare at all, so I didnt notice. I do see a lot of recommendation's to host behind Cloudflare, so if they have a problem you do too

    Fallback to Tailscale, or any number of ways to skin the cat. At the very least, everything is accessible locally. I'm not running anything mission critical, so it was more of a minor inconvenience to me.
