Sites now blocked by idiots who run the Cloudflare firewalls. They should all be sacked.

Cloudflare, which is spoosed to keep websites up and running, icurrently has a major outage in the UK and globally. Many popular websites, including UK Parliament sites, X (Twitter), Spotify, ChatGPT and Uber have been down today owving to Cloudflare’s network issues. Why and we so depenent on the Internet and Cloud Cowboys.

One Broadband company does its fibre using old fashioned telephone poles. It’s diabolical we let these cowboys loose. They put a post in Sheffield that blocked a whole row of houses accessing their drives. I think theyshould fine the company and the morons who put the post in.

Fortunately, it does not affect BA and Trailfinders are both working OK.

The Internet is the wild west these daze.

Because the alternative would be that a lot of sites could be taken down regularly by DDOS attacks by flooding them with more traffic they can handle. The only reason you even are aware of Cloudflare is that they have had a very rare outage.
