the internet when one cdn goes down:

A DownDetector screenshot. Many services show the same pattern of issues, indicating a single point of failure.

That's fucking crazy, I get why CDNs exist but why do so many large corpoations use them, such an odd thing.

@orbitalmartian CDNs exist because megabytes of javascript and super duper HD images and scrolling video backgrounds.

I know that but why can't each large corporations host their own... They have the infrastructure majority of the time. That's the bit that amazes me.

I mean they could always go back to the good ol' days of plain text HTML.

@orbitalmartian @f4grx I think big business needs big buzzwords, so you can't have a website that doesn't use all the latest and greatest JavaScript frameworks, databases and stuff. If you don't have more microservices than users, then you're not doing real work there 😁

CDNs should be forbidden. If a site is slow, thats because the site has too much shit on it. throwing more hardware at it does not fix the problem, quite the contrary in fact.

It's that picture where they build more highway lanes to reduce traffic only only for it to get all clogged up by more traffic again

@rolltime Say what you will about the laptop in a closet I'm using as a server, but when something like this happens, it just keeps chugging along.

Ignore the fact that it was down for four days because I had to buy a replacement machine.

@me that's like, 2 nines of availability. Get yourself another machine and you'll get 4 nines! And if you add just one more machine, you could host some critical infrastructure in those bad boys
