I just lost Mark Davis talking about The Ken Burns documentary on the American Revolution. Let me just say this. Two hours per episode is too much when it can be done in one. Fancy paintings and all the Hollywood stars doing voice-overs to get in on the action. Were supposed to be enamored with his intellectual prowess and dared to sit through his worthy efforts.

Ken Burns is the old aristocrat saying “Pass the Pollen All-fruit”.
The rest of us are saying “Could you please pass the jelly?”

“Cloudflare, the world’s leading web infrastructure and security company”

And single point of failure, with airtight terms of service that absolve them from any liability anywhere, in any way, shape, or form.

Would this affect the VA portal?

Because I can’t get on it this morning to check on my prescriptions.

I asked ChatGPT:

Are you down because of Cloudflare?

Answer:

No—I’m not down, and Cloudflare isn’t affecting me from what I can see.
If you’re experiencing delays, slow responses, or weird behavior, it’s more likely due to:

* temporary congestion on OpenAI’s servers
* browser issues
* your local network connection
* Cloudflare issues *on your end*, if your ISP or browser is routing through them

But on my side, I’m fully up and running.

I’ve been into network security for 10 years now.
Never trusted Cloudflare for some reason.
Just a spidey tingling I get from them.

Came back on for me around 7 AM this morning PST.

Seems many many news sites use it.

And to think that US government is using the cloud for very sensitive business.
