Tech companies are overly reliant on internet infrastructure companies like Cloudflare and Amazon. When their services go down, millions of websites go down, and billions of transactions can be delayed (I can't estimate the millions of dollars lost from these outages).

It happens all the time. Major Internet outages have been happening every month or two for years. Maybe even more often, just with smaller sections of the internet.

After finding a fix, Cloudfare said the root cause “was a configuration file that is automatically generated to manage threat traffic”.

This file grew beyond its expected size and triggered a crash in the software system that handles traffic for a number of Cloudflare’s services.

That reminds me of that virus from a decade or two ago, where you tried to unpack an archive (zip) file. The unpacking was endless and went on until the folder got so big it crashed your computer. Or in that case, my computer. Good times.

The overlords thought firing their engineers and replacing them with AI was wise.

Back in 2005 I made a 5gb .txt file and put it on other computers, if the computer wasn't good enough it would just get stuck permenantly loading
