Met one of my literary heroes and fellow Virginian @blacktopkid.bsky.social last night. He’s exactly as cool and gracious as you’d think.

The internet is not a network, it's a small handful of platforms held together with rock n roll and silly string (@k8em0.bsky.social ™) and sometimes it falls down. On the @deciphersec.bsky.social pod, @rmogull.com helped me figure out why.

This is Link. His ball suddenly went missing and then reappeared trapped under his bed. He called his brother Otto in for backup, knowing they'd need all three of their collective brain cells to get it back. 12/10 for both (IG: thegoldenbruvs)

Quick chat with our pal @rmogull.com on today's @cloudflare.social outage, the fragility of our distributed infrastructure, and how providers and users handle it when things break.

App not working? Can't login? Probably why.
SO much of the internet depends on Cloudflare to stay online.
But what happens when Cloudflare itself goes down?
Well, you're watching it.
