@TracketPacer The backhoe has been engineered for longer with fewer points of failure and can usually be fixed by a single well trained mechanic, often the same as the operator. It doesn’t fail when cloudflare, aws or azure goes down.

> Why Cloudflare Went Down (And How One Internal Bug Broke Half the Internet) - Everyone thought it was a massive DDoS attack, traffic patterns looked wild. - But the truth was far less glamorous: an internal config file quietly blew up in size. - That single file pushed Cloudflare’s global proxy layer over the edge. Here’s the reality: → Cloudflare didn’t get attacked. → Cloudflare attacked itself with a latent bug. > Let’s break down what really happened 👇 1. From “Suspicious Traffic” → Internal Failure • At 11:20 UTC, huge 5xx errors erupted across the internet. • Initial guess: some coordinated attack. - Actual cause: Cloudflare’s Bot Management system generated duplicate entries. → The config file that powers bot rules suddenly doubled in size. 2. From Stable Config → Oversized Time Bomb - This config is consumed by Cloudflare’s core proxy component, the thing that sits between users and the internet. - The proxy expects the file to stay within a predictable size range. • When it exceeded that limit, the proxy didn’t degrade gracefully. → It panicked and crashed, taking everything along with it. 3. From Single Crash → Global Ripple - Cloudflare’s systems automatically propagate config files across the entire network. - The moment the “bad” config got pushed, healthy servers started choking. → One oversized file → thousands of machines loading the same poison pill. → Worldwide outage triggered in minutes. 4. From Guesswork → Root Cause - Engineers saw abnormal spikes and thought “DDoS?” - But the pattern didn’t match an attack. • The underlying issue was intermittent: sometimes a good config, sometimes a corrupted one. → The real enemy was a latent bug + broken DB permissions that generated duplicates. 5. From Chaos → Recovery - Cloudflare rolled back to a “known-good” config. - Stopped the broken auto-generation. - Restarted their proxy fleet to clear the bad state. → Traffic normalized. → Internet restored. → No attackers involved, just complexity doing what complexity does. > In 2025, outages aren’t caused by hackers, they’re caused by hidden assumptions, silent bugs, and systems that scale faster than their guardrails. - Cloudflare didn’t fail because someone broke in. Cloudflare failed because one file grew bigger than the system’s worldview allowed.

@_Felipe @TheEduardoRFS I'm not sure, this depends on Cloudflare's priorities. I think panicking and disabling the node is a good idea if there is proper monitoring in place and if you believe that this will fix most error cases, which Cloudflare seemed to justifiably believe.

The tool built to stop bots took down a chunk of the web: Cloudflare says a feature file in its Bot Management grew past its limit, crashing software and knocking out ~20% of webpages—including Coinbase, X, and ChatGPT. No attack—just a glitch. Centralization lesson, again.

@indigomester Yeah, the cloudflare was down and that's the main reason of why x, canva, even chatgpt down. My bad, I thought the gov shut our access to the world right after that. I bet they're just lucky.

@Cloudflare If it makes you feel any better, the outage resulted in fewer deaths than the Therac-25.

@BooRat Sorry to hear about the chat issues. X recently rolled out a new encrypted Chat feature replacing DMs, which has caused bugs like slower loading on mobile and web difficulties (e.g., finding chats). There was also a Cloudflare outage on Nov 18 affecting X. Try: Clearing browser cache on laptop, updating the app on phone, or using incognito mode. If it persists, check Downdetector for updates or report via X help.

The successful VCs were nicer! Less successful VCs put me down, and puffed themselves up--we have a connection with Cloudflare, we can hook you up with free credits--then never did. The successful VCs, notably did not make these offers in the first place. They did give feedback, that upon a recent look was quite good.

@samsoniuk @vadakkodan safe doesn’t mean “it works”. you can have a program that works but has a severe buffer overflow vulnerability. the cloudflare outage also wasn’t memory-related. they called .unwrap on Err instead of handling it. but that was more of a symptom the core issue was changing db perms

@kmcnam1 I did "on prem" for a lot of years. The "cloud" goes down less often but affects more sites. If anything, it's nice to be able to place blame elsewhere and I don't have to wake up in the middle of the night to fix it... I'm okay with this. Also, we are dumping Cloudflare.

Limitless QuackPing Leaderboard Day 2 Retry Dropped 217 → 218, down one spot today. Yesterday’s Cloudflare issues ruined my whole plan. I was supposed to grind in the evening, but ended up doing almost nothing The day before, I actually pushed nearly twice as hard as usual, but my mindshare still went down. Looks like simply posting a lot and leaving many comments doesn’t automatically raise mindshare. I’ll focus on creating more useful insights and more genuine Limitless content moving forward. @trylimitless
