Cloudflare\’s Epic Fail 🤦\u200d♂️

by

Ah, the internet – a vast, wondrous thing, held together by a few strings and a prayer 😅. And sometimes, those strings get pulled, and POOF! 20% of the web goes dark 🌑. That’s what happened recently, thanks to a tiny fault in Cloudflare’s bot detection system, which apparently had a growth spurt 🤣.

“We are sorry for the impact to our customers and to the Internet in general. Given Cloudflare’s importance in the Internet ecosystem any outage of any of our systems is unacceptable.”

Unacceptable? That’s like saying the apocalypse is somewhat inconvenient 🤷‍♂️. Cloudflare handles a whopping 20% of internet traffic, and powers around one-third of the top 10,000 websites, apps, and services. That’s like being the internet’s main artery 💉. And when it gets blocked, chaos ensues 🌪️.

A spokesperson for EthStorage had this to say: “centralized infrastructure will always create single points of failure.” Duh! 🤦‍♂️ It’s like, decentralization is not just a buzzword, folks! 🚀

Vitalik Buterin wants decentralization prioritized

Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin recently wrote a “Trustless Manifesto,” which basically says “don’t sacrifice decentralization for adoption” 📝. Because, you know, centralization is like a ticking time bomb 🕰️.

Buterin and some other smart folks said that crypto platforms sacrifice trustlessness the moment they integrate a hosted node or centralized relayer. And that’s when things start to get hairy 😬.
