I posted somewhere that it's taken down Kbin and Hacker News too.
https://news.ycombinator.com gone.
Hackernews is back up and has a thread with more context (speculation?) On the reddit outage: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36294244. Cloudflare having issues is pretty interesting though.
I have to admit, among the set of
[reddit, Lemmy], I did not predict that the one expecting the more serious availability issues today would be reddit.Reddit uses AWS, not cloudflare.
For awareness to readers: AWS is a hosting provider, Cloudflare is a CDN/reverse proxy service that sits in front of and caches things hosted on hosting providers.
Current impact is limited to R2, Waiting Room, Stream Live, Queues, Durable Objects and single file CDN cache purge which may return HTTP 500 status code or βNetwork connection lostβ errors.
In that case, this is one wild coincidence. Because the same time Reddit goes down, HN goes down, Kbin goes down and so does Cloudflare?
That's amazing. I think you might be right, some HN folk are adamant that HN also doesn't use cloudflare.
