A Cloudflare spokesperson told Ars that the cloud services provider saw “a spike in unusual traffic to one of Cloudflare’s services,” which “caused some traffic passing through Cloudflare’s network to experience errors.”

“We do not yet know the cause of the spike in unusual traffic,” the spokesperson said. “We are all hands on deck to make sure all traffic is served without errors. After that, we will turn our attention to investigating the cause of the unusual spike in traffic.”

You can tell we're all old as fuck Millennials, because nobody else would make this joke. Lol.

    I can't even explain dial up modems to my son because I'd have to start by explaining what phone lines are.

    I think that's a big part of why I like lemmy.

    There are plenty of tech-savvy critical thinkers in the younger generations, but the naïveté, tech illiteracy, and lack of critical thinking ability of the average internet commenter / poster is appalling.

    I've seen it just get worse and worse.

    The internalized self censorship, the laissez faire attitude towards digital privacy, just pure fucking idiocy.

    Wake me up when September ends.
