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.

As far as major outages, I can only think of around 10 going back 5 years. Sure there have been minor hiccups and glitches, but gosh, that's life on the internet.

    Yeah I have issues with my home setup at least that often. I can only think of two occasions where the solution took more effort than a reboot. Maybe we're all just old enough for "every 6 months" to feel like every 5 mins

    To clarify, by "issues" I mean "system stoppages not precipitated by me fucking with something." I screw up my own system way more often than that lol

    It does feel like the major outages are growing closer together.

    I want to blame plugging AI where it doesn't belong, but I suppose that putting everything into the same couple of server closets could be the primary root cause.
