Please don’t remind me. Had a colleague with a senior title who just vibecoded on our CI pipeline and it ended up blocking deployments for half a day.

It would be funny if it was because of some AI coding

It is. Sometimes the big secret turns out to just be what we all thought was happening.

A DDoS that brings down the biggest(?) DDoS protection provider?

Based on what facts?

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.

AI: taking another hit of acid in preparation to research the reason why the last thing it did after taking acid didn't work out.

If you're stuck with Windows at work, you might have. I couldn't log on to our domain remotely and was unable to open some documents and emails that were signed as "internal use only".

Starbucks payments sure did.

Mostly at work. All our stuff was on Azure, so when it went down....I kinda just stood around for the day. It was up/down the entire day. So I went for a coffee lol.

"Whoops"

• some person at Cloudstrike, probably

Honesty we need a open standard for caching and csam detection.

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.

Piefed.social was too, on my end

Thet got DOH?
