sys eng @ cloudflare
It is relative. If a project only pushes a few commits a year, 2 months of quiet is nothing. Given this project going to zero commits from 100s of commits a week is noteworthy.

DownDetector is a _very_ blunt instrument when it comes to actually detecting service outages.
It simply tracks keywords on social media. So more likely iMessage is truly down and regular folks just blame their carrier or something.
I'd bet it is probably Golang and using this: https://github.com/charmbracelet/wish
Nope! It is real, I was able to order some coffee a few days ago. Will report back on if it shows up or if it is any good :)
Most likely using "Spectrum" which allows Layer 4 TCP+UDP proxying/DDoS protection: https://www.cloudflare.com/application-services/products/clo...
Not more than AWS, GCP, or Azure.
Apple has worked _very_ hard in the press not to show it. Wasn’t a deal-breaker for me though.
This whole fiasco is hogging US Congress' antitrust attention is, IMO, a huge fail.
Chat apps is largely represented by iMessage, but dwarfed by WhatsApp. But for the most part there is _some_ competition. And Apple requiring that you _purchase_ their product in order to use its services is not harmful to consumers. Been crazy watching people do mental gymnastics trying to make that sound like a huge problem.
Meanwhile, Google has effectively sterilized all competition in the browser market and is definitely, willfully using their market share to push around other companies and make purely self-interested, consumer-hurting choices. _This_ is where antitrust scrutiny needs to be aimed at.
Yeah, I am not expecting this to be a protracted game of cat and mouse. Apple will just sue them in the end; that'll put a REAL quick stop to this.
I wish things had more interoperability, but Apple is under no obligation to implement it or be okay with it. And honestly, I believe them when they say that this is a security/privacy risk; even if it does serve their anticompetitive tendencies.
A lot of people here seem to be forgetting [Hanlon's Razor](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hanlon%27s_razor)
Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity.
All fun and games until Google bans your account for ToS violation.
Seriously, if you actually have important stuff in your Google account I would warn against doing this. You’ll lose all of it more than likely.
In this case it is not. A power outage in a critical data-center is the root cause here: https://www.cloudflarestatus.com/incidents/hm7491k53ppg
Looks like they already snagged it for themselves.
Dried arterial blood red
... Horrifying
I got 3/20, because I've never used AWS professionally.
I'm getting _very_ slow requests. Getting the down message too:
Our systems are a bit busy at the moment, please take a break and try again soon.
"Is the US trying to enforce pre-existing financial regulation on Crypto in the US?"
fixed that crappy title for you! and no need to read, the answer is "Yes."
FreshRSS is pretty robust. Been running it on my own server for almost a year with zero issues.
Yah, the one thing that I like about bluesky is their name-spacing: “sports.npr.org”
I put something like this together: https://solvy.app/ – really fun project. my goal was to make it collaborative and real-time. Might still do that someday.
Why do all aviation IT systems feel like they are so fragile?
It feels like not a single month can pass these days without some "Airline X has major outage and ruins tons of people's days!" story on the news.
What is the tech behind these frail systems?
Love this thread, here is mine:
Hardware: Synology NAS (DS420+)
Software:
- Synology DSM – Was actually quite impressed by Synology's software. It is a tad quirky but can usually be worked around but all in all pretty good. (https://www.synology.com/en-us/dsm)
- Plex: not in love, but it gets the job done, definitely gonna use this thread to look in to replacements (https://www.plex.tv/)
- Syncthing: i love my magic folders that just sync stuff, amazing software (https://syncthing.net/)
- Docker: most things are hosted out of Docker (https://www.docker.com/)
- cloudflared: effortless external access for all my stuff + all other Cloudflare goodies (WAF/Zero-Trust). Good piece of mind to not have to ever open ports on my local network and let CF just take the brunt of the Internet. Also used as a local PlaintextDNS=>DoH proxy that is hooked up to NextDNS (https://www.cloudflare.com/products/tunnel/) [disclaimer: I work for the big orange cloud company, so sorry if the previous sounds like an ad, I do really like the software we make].
- FreshRSS: quite silly to do a cloud version of this when it is quite easy to host on your own. It works good, but I feel a strong itch to write my own version. (https://www.freshrss.org/)
- Metrics: prometheus node exporter. I do have grafana hosted in the cloud, but I've been meaning to move that to my local server.
Yah, I submitted the Ars version and it got marked as dupe in favor of this. I think HN should prefer the non-paywalled one, but... shrug.
Oh cool. I did a similar thing using age [0] encryption: https://age-online.com/?receive_mode=1
FYI: There is a lively Discord where folks talk about Cloudflare things, mostly Workers here: https://discord.com/invite/cloudflaredev/
Could ask there as well :)
I have those on. For both of them (Twitter/TikTok). ScreenTime is a great first step by the platform itself (iOS) to help folks do this themselves.
The difference between my post and ScreenTime is it leverages the brains gravity to the apps as a driving force of good habits.
Also, one small flaw in ScreenTime makes it almost non-effective: it allows bypass with one click. When you've run out of screentime it will do its block, but then it allows you to bypass really quickly. If it simply made you jump through a few more hoops (Go to homescreen, Settings, ScreenTime, App ScreenTime config, bypass for day; for example) to bypass I think it would be respected way more (at least by me, can't speak for others).
I totally agree with what you're saying. If you simply try limiting it, the brain will just want it.
I think turning it into a "reward" for getting things done puts the addiction in a different light, and at least for me, it has made it easier to respect the barriers I have put into place.
So instead of "no apps allowed!" it is now "hey, do these good habits, and once your done you can have the apps" creates.. (idk I'm not a psychologist or anything), but a more genial approach to limiting the addiction and it feels more effective as a result.
I made this: https://github.com/nkcmr/async so I can experiment with the idea of Promises in Go. Keep in mind it's experimental and I've only lightly played around with the pattern.
