I use Brave as well, and yesterday I went to a site the did the ‘verify’ thing over and over again. After about five times I quit trying...............
Our technology, and lack of it, will be the death of us. It’s a trap of our own making.
“Something major has happened and they are blinding us on purpose.”
I think this all the time. I usually feel a little sheepish shortly after. But we have spicy info popping up daily now, and Epstein info is beginning to surface so if you’re gonna try censoring the whole internet this could be a good time. Even if these are trial runs for info they expect to be released soon it would be unsurprising.
I thought it was because of Windows 10 browser no longer supported.
You too?
I believe Reddit was down during one of the other previous cloud service provider outages.
Beeber stuned slowly.
I’ve tried it a couple times of varying success. It’ll either be slow, but at least load some posts, or it just won’t work at all. Supposedly, they’ve applied some sort of fix, but it takes a while for it to apply to all the servers and to sync up with their clients to begin functioning normally
I heard others say that, but I really don’t think that’s the case. When Amazon AWS went down like a month or two ago for a while, it was one of their staffers/engineers who I believe, made a mistake in some configuration and broke it. I’ve never seen any evidence of something that happened during these outages we heard about afterwards. Also, it’s only been one of the major providers like AWS or cloud flare. It may take out X, as an example for a while, however, other new sites remain online.

Our colleagues at TechRadar acquired a statement directly from CloudFlare itself, as the service continues to investigate the ongoing downtime. The statement reads:
“We saw a spike in unusual traffic to one of Cloudflare’s services beginning at 11:20 UTC. That caused some traffic passing through Cloudflare’s network to experience errors. We do not yet know the cause of the spike in unusual traffic. We are all hands on deck to make sure all traffic is served without errors. After that, we will turn our attention to investigating the cause of the unusual spike in traffic. We will post updates to cloudflarestatus.com and more in-depth analysis when it is ready to blog.cloudflare.com.”
“When Amazon AWS went down like a month or two ago for a while, it was one of their staffers/engineers who I believe, made a mistake in some configuration and broke it. I’ve never seen any evidence of something that happened during these outages we heard about afterwards.”
See here is the problem. You believe what they tell you. You can NEVER believe what they tell you. NEVER.
Update - We’ve deployed a change which has restored dashboard services. We are still working to remediate broad application services impact

Still good here. As you say, the fix is slowly percolating through the entire internet landscape.
That just means MS will not give any more updates or service info. It will still work............until it doesn’t..........
" I will not be pushed, filed, stamped, indexed, briefed, debriefed, or numbered! My life is my own. "
We are number six.....
Be seeing you.
Trust but verify. And then verify some more.
