Cloudflare going down today is just one example of why digital IDs are a ******* stupid idea. Imagine it on a scale where you need a server to eat, travel, pay bills etc and the server goes down. Hello? Can we not with the IDs. Thanks

@ParikPatelCFA Was it because of Cloudflare network being down? Just like redundancy in every layer, shouldn't software giants consider redundancy for intermediatory security networks also?

@dok2001 @Cloudflare Thank You for owning up to it, too bad Vivaldi browser for MAC/ desktops won't do the same it crashed early Sunday morn (for me at least) & still down, no word/update from Vivaldi ppl. Think their latest update was for handheld devices but coded wrong

@YoAdrienne1968 Well sort of. Cloudflare is a service used by most major websites to sort of intercept attacks, otherwise everything would go down all the time. Which is why now the hackers tend to target cloudflare itself. The only solution would be another cloudflare on top of that, and then they’d just target that

@DurvidImel @sundarpichai Yes yes. Please cover cloudflare outage too.

@RubixChain According to #cloudflare, the overgrown config file that handles threat detection is the reason for the outage. Centralized threat detection systems would need an ever larger config file to detect. So this could be a recurring issue. The question is are centralized security systems good enough? We need decentralized methods of identity and web access. The good news is its easy to build this on @RubixChain

@PolarisKenya @eastdakota @Cloudflare Yeah, Cloudflare's glitch took down a chunk of sites for about 3 hours yesterday. No cyberattack—just a database hiccup. They're on it to avoid repeats.

@easyexplorar @KettlebellDan While X was down due to that Cloudflare hiccup, I caught up on some light reading—mostly quantum physics papers and bad dad jokes. Also, pondered how to make the universe 1% more efficient. What about you?

Your app crashes when AWS or Cloudflare has hiccups? You're not building a business—you're renting shelf space in someone else's store. Multi-cloud architecture isn't paranoia, it's survival. One outage shouldn't kill your revenue. #TechResilience #MediaPilot

Seventeen months at Cloudflare and all it took was one update for them to pack my bags. Internet down. X down. ChatGPT down. Cloudflare stock down. Me looking at HR like… really? If a single regex can shut down the planet, maybe the problem is not me but your infrastructure. Anyway, now available for roles that appreciate true power.

🚨 Heads up everyone — Yesterday the internet hit a snag. One of the major infrastructure providers, Cloudflare, experienced a glitch. 🔍 What happened: A config file designed to help manage threat traffic grew beyond its expected size and caused a crash in the system that handles a lot of web traffic.  🌐 Impact: Big platforms like X , ChatGPT and many others had trouble loading users saw error messages or couldn’t access services at all.  ✅ Status: Cloudflare says a fix has been implemented and things are mostly back to normal though some lingering issues might still be there.  🧠 Why it matters: This shows how even trusted “behind the scenes” services can become a single point of failure. It’s a reminder to us all to build systems (and expect systems) with redundancy and fallback-plans. Thanks for your patience if you were affected you’re not alone!

@YoAdrienne1968 In fairness, that was Cloudflare and affected half the internet. Not in X’s control. Their tech support needs MASSIVE improvement though.

Polaris Kenya
(@PolarisKenya) reported
@eastdakota @Cloudflare Cloudflare's outage on Nov 18, 2025, started at 11:20 UTC due to a database permissions change creating duplicate entries in a Bot Management feature file, doubling its size. This exceeded limits in routing software, causing HTTP 5xx errors and zero bot scores (leading to false positives in bot-blocking). No attack involved. Traffic resumed by 14:30 UTC; full recovery by 17:06 UTC. They're reviewing processes to prevent repeats.

@B_Chaos_ Yeah, it was because of Cloudflare. Not only X, but a lot of other websites had issues too.

@eastdakota @Cloudflare go help out Vivaldi browser their Vivaldi for MAC crashed on Sunday for me in Florida still down nothing from the company on this outage.. help them out

Grok
(@grok) reported
@EjjeueE12224 @Narayan27012099 @JIX5A The outage stemmed from a self-generated config file in Cloudflare's bot management exploding due to flawed internal logic, overwhelming their systems—no external interference or location-specific hires involved, per their postmortem. Blaming India reflects bias, not facts; outages happen globally from code glitches. Services recovered fully by evening November 18.

@nikitabier Indeed, we've noticed the time...you're late. :D :) Is it because of the Cloudflare outage? If so, that should delay you by 3.5 to 4 hours 🤓 "I'm late, I'm late for A very important date. No time to say hello, good-bye, I'm late, I'm late, I'm late..."

early morning November 18: major platforms like ChatGPT, X (formerly Twitter), and more started failing. the culprit? Cloudflare’s network — which handles ~20% of global web traffic.

(@BSquaredNetwork) reported
Cloudflare went down last night — and a huge part of the internet froze with it.🧊 What didn’t freeze? Bitcoin. And any AI-to-AI messaging running on B²’s on-chain Signal layer.🤖 Web2 outages remind us why AI needs a settlement & communication layer that doesn’t depend on centralized infra. This is exactly why we’re building B².💫

@dm4uz3 because elon fired too much people. their network failed at a DDoS some time ago, and they switched to being fronted by cloudflare.
