Seems the @cloudflare Post Mortem is an example of the same old thing of not fully testing your DR plans. Also I can agree that it is really awful to hear how their Datacenter failed to inform them of issues until after the fact…

I mean even #OVH sends out maintenance notices and alerts. Kinda crazy, my day job is a heavy consumer of Equinex datacenters and they are very strict with notifications and alerts. So I do hope their Datacenter provider learns a lesson about how important it is to keep your customers informed.

A second multi-hour #Internet disruption occurred in #Gaza this morning. Beginning around 0100 UTC on November 1, the outage lasted 8+ hours. PalTel reported that it was "due to international routes that were previously reconnected being cut off again."

I have been a user of Google Domains since the very beginning. I genuinely liked it. After they announced that they were killing it, I tried moving everything to @cloudflare but they don't support all of the domains that I have. I also tried to move them all to the same host that I'm using for an upcoming website but that one supports all of them except for jws.dev.

Close enough?
