    Cloudflare is experiencing technical problems, meaning that hundreds of millions of people across the globe are unable to access the internet.

    The global network that connects users with websites and apps is currently experiencing an outage, which the company is investigating.

    Cloudflare, which “powers internet requests for millions of websites” while serving 81 million HTTP requests, is currently experiencing issues on a global scale.

    An outage affecting cybersecurity firm Cloudflare took down huge swathes of the internet with it on Tuesday, once again highlighting how a handful internet services allow the entire web to stay online.

    Among the websites affected by the outage are gigantic services including X-formerly-Twitter, OpenAI’s ChatGPT, and Spotify.

    The issue was not caused, directly or indirectly, by a cyber attack or malicious activity of any kind. Instead, it was triggered by a change to one of our database systems’ permissions which caused the database to output multiple entries into a “feature file” used by our Bot Management system. That feature file, in turn, doubled in size. The larger-than-expected feature file was then propagated to all the machines that make up our network.

    What does the outage tell us about the health of the internet?
    With much of the world’s economy reliant on the internet – from banking to e-commerce – some experts in cyber-resilience warn that its infrastructure has become too reliant on a few big companies, creating a “dependency chain”. The problems at Cloudflare come less than a month after outages at other cloud services operators, Amazon’s AWS and Microsoft’s Azure. Together with Google Cloud, these three providers account for about two-thirds of the infrastructure underlying the digital world. Experts argue it shows there should be greater diversity in supply of internet services.

    Europe is finally cutting down on annoying cookie pop-ups. Under the new plan, some low-risk cookies won’t show pop-ups at all, and users will be able to control other cookies directly in their browser settings, instead of on every single website.

    I am so tired of the retardation they caused, worldwide, with that law.

    The Formula 1 Las Vegas Grand Prix had an accidental free broadcast as fans used public street cameras to watch the whole race
    https://supercarblondie.com/formula-1-las-vegas-grand-prix-accidental-free-broadcast/

    With all eyes on the Formula 1 Las Vegas Grand Prix, some people found a savvy way to get an accidentally free broadcast, as public street cameras captured every corner of the thrilling race.

    All of this unfolded on subscription TV channels like ESPN and Sky Sports.

    But just as some people found hilarious alternative ways to view the race in the street, some people found a TV workaround by tuning in to the public cameras on the Las Vegas strip for free.

    While the quality isn’t quite that of ESPN’s, the public cameras allowed anyone to tune into any part of the circuit they wanted to and watch the cars whip past.
