I’ve noticed that a few websites didn’t work. I wondered what was going on.

Down Detector is down and cannot report on its own outage.

LOL

I am getting a Miami Cloudflare error on some sites like The Conservative Treehouse. Someone cleaned it, like with a cloth.

And Free Republic is up and running as usual.
I think JR once said he avoids services like Cloudflare for this very reason.

Ironic. The internet was supposed to survive a nuclear attack.

Lets take this a bit further into the future, where the internet of things is ensconced in every detail of life (think China and its social credit system).

I just checked again. Still down for me. The internet can be capricious at times.

Gee imagine a world of digital ID and digital money. You go to the store, the Net (interesting term 🤔🤔, you know like fishing net) goes down….. you cannot purchase anything because your money does not transfer. You cannot go home because your car and the toll roads need your digital ID to allow usage…..

Number 6: Where am I?
Number Two: In the village.
Number 6: What do you want?
Number Two: Information.
Number 6: Whose side are you on?
Number Two: That would be telling. We want information... information... information!
Number 6: You won't get it!
Number Two: By hook or by crook, we will.
Number 6: Who are you?
Number Two: The new Number Two.
Number 6: Who is Number One?
Number Two: You are Number Six.
Number 6: I am not a number; I AM A FREE MAN!
Number Two: [laughter]
