Re:The August 17 outage, and the work ahead on Friday August 21, 2026 @03:21AM (#49384883)
I wonder how much of the traffic increase is enterprise vs. hobbyists? A 7 hour outage for enterprise customers is really, really bad and it's sad if caused by a mass of non-paying vibe coders. It's becoming absolutely obvious that the unlimited free tier needs to go.

I'm often surprised to find very questionable repos hosted on GitHub. Such as plug 'n play malware that has been public for years. Not against it, but surprised as most parts of the internet has gone in the kindergarten direction.

I wonder after how much editing an LLM output wont be reliably detectable? And what the EU law even says about this. I find that a good LLM workflow can be to generate outlines that are then edited pretty heavily manually to fit into whatever context it will be published in.

I'm guessing that field is gaming? It would be interesting to know what those simple questions are and what's wrong the answers if you don't mind sharing.

OP's opinion about AI coding is pretty obvious in this blog post. Maybe some of that sips out during interviews which certainly will spook the employer.

Apache and nginx maintainers implemented fixes one or two days after the author reported, so how do you mean this was known already?

Same here, but I honestly think that's largely due to the threat is poses to their (and my) profession.

Pretty sad seeing people take pleasure in the company failing. See past your opinion about it's leader. At the end of the day, it's the company that brought vehicle electrification to the masses and has acted cash cow for SpaceX, Starlink and Neuralink.

Almost one hour down now. What differs this from recent AWS and Cloudflare issues is that this appears to be a global issue?
