I hate outages. On servers. At websites. They are just really annoying because obviously you use certain sites because you want to, or because you have something to "do" there. It really disrupts the "workflow," so to speak. And so, this Cloudflare outage is really getting on my nerves because it is impacting several sites I use and thus, I cannot use them. Granted, I can always find other things to do. That's true. But "in the moment," the thing you want to do is what's topmost on your mind, and when you can't, it just makes you want to scream. It is what it is. I can't control what Cloudflare does or what happens to it. All I can do is write about my frustrations. To no avail, of course.

I can understand your frustration and it makes me crazy when I want to do something and the internet isn't working properly. When I turn on my computer I expect it to work

yes we can't ask what's wrong with some platforms that use Cloudflare, now it's back to normal.

@porwest Let's hope it working forever! I thought a few minutes ago my internet was the problem but opening myLot is smooth.

For now. Let's hope it stays that way. Very frustrating.

@May2k8 As soon it sends back a Cloudflare error I know it's beyond the site being down or my Internet acting up. Without the notice, I'd be in the dark for sure, so I am glad it is at least there.

I have read that there is a serious outage. It's the second time this month.

It seems to be working now. But yeah, always a major frustration when it happens, especially since it affects several platforms when it does.

@porwest - They imposed to do everything through the Internet and now we start to see problems more and more often.

@LadyDuck It's so much data, and of course, hackers are always a problem too. They never really say what the cause of some of these outages are.

I’ve never heard of Cloudflare. But I get frustrated when sites don’t work properly or don’t load altogether.

Yeah. X is part of Cloudflare so it was down. There were several. It seemed to be down for a few hours.

Second major probe for weaknesses in the Internet by Chinese hackers. First Amazon now this. But of course they can't admit that.

Yeah. So far as I know, the outage wasn't really explained. It seems to be working again. For now, anyway.

I didn't realize there was an outage. None of the sites I use were affected. myLot annoys me when I can't open it, especially from midnight to around 1:30 am when I just wake up from my evening nap. I think the site is doing an automatic update or something. When it does let me in, the site is slow and seems buggy.

I have fondly named my desktop PC Hank. Hank and I seem to have come to an understanding and he rarely scares me, One time he just stopped working and the screen went black, My anxiety ratcheted but then I turned him bakc on and everthing fell into place,

I noticed the Cloudflare outage this morning, and was wondering if it would be an all day thing. But a couple of hours later it seemed to be working fine.
