A change made to how Cloudflare's Web Application Firewall parses requests caused Cloudflare's network to be unavailable for several minutes this morning. This was not an attack; the change was deployed by our team to help mitigate the industry-wide vulnerability disclosed this week in React Server Components. We will share more information as we have it today.

https://downdetectorsdowndetectorsdowndetectorsdowndetector.... reports that https://downdetectorsdowndetectorsdowndetector.com/ is down, guessing downdetectorsdowndetectorsdowndetector runs via cloudflare!

They pretty much said this. All the big companies that had recent outages are companies that publicly embraced vibe coding.

Appears to be fixed now. Just lost 30 minutes of working.

If this is unwrap() again, we need to have a talk about Rust panic safety.

Time to rewrite Rust’s unwrap() in Rust obviously.

If Crunchyroll is down for 30 minutes it's nbd, because you know they'll be back. If the pirate sites are down for any duration, it can be very stressful, because they can be gone for good.
