Cloudflare

[John]

Lots of websites struggling to work at the moment, apparently linked to Cloudflare.

Not sure if it's worlwide or just the UK

[Beany]

Worldwide I believe.

Caused by internal services having a shitfit, causing external services to drop their guts.

Still being worked on as I post.

I had an issue with the Lotus forum, so went to https://downforeveryoneorjustme.com/

.....which is currently down (for all) due to Cloudflare

[Beany]

Apparently Twitter and ChatGPT are down, so the worlds global IQ just ticked up a few points.

If you check their status you'll also see they were doing maintenance this morning. I'm sure the two aren't connected at all /s

Interesting decision to have a maintenance window in the middle of the European working day. I assume that whatever needed fixing was so critical that it couldn't wait, not that some numpty can't work out time zones.
