Cloudflare route leak
in case anyone's wondering what's up with the apparent downtime for many sites (including LET) ... something something cloudflare something something route leak something something verizon (?)
some details/discussion here -> Route Leak Impacting Cloudflare | Hacker News
EDIT2:
something something ASN 396531
EDIT3:
FHR said: $clueless_company leaked their routing table to retarded Verizon who leaked stuff to the rest of the internet.
TL;DR; half of the internet tried to reach each other through that $clueless_company, whose small ports couldn't handle the traffic => stuff died.

Cloudsh*t leaking pipes.... Discord is also affected.
CloudFlare: https://www.cloudflarestatus.com/
This wasn't limited to just cloud flare
Today's lesson in BGP - or how 1 rogue site can destroy people's interwebnetworking.
...or start routing all of their traffic through china
Sorry, I have to criticize the poll. There is no "$7" option, neither "debian" and not even a "NVMe only!".
Apparently the culprit was that "Allegheny Technologies Incorporated" announced a better-reachable route for Cloudflare through Verizon. (links to AS)

BGP Sekektor OK ?
BGP Selektor NOT OK ?
Can confirm, that is absolutely true. $clueless_company leaked their routing table to retarded Verizon who leaked stuff to the rest of the internet.
TL;DR; half of the internet tried to reach each other through that $clueless_company, whose small ports couldn't handle the traffic => stuff died.
I didn't like the poll results so I deleted them (by accident, but whatever)
Feel free to cast your meaningless votes yet again if you care to
Seriously, who gave $clueless_company an unfiltered port.... oh Verizon.
Likely caused by a poorly configured Noction route optimizer.
Why Verizon allowed a tiny company out of Pittsburgh to announce the internet (no filters) is beyond me.
That's because la fin est proche
On est Verizon on s'en fout.
assange's pic was awesome
How Verizon and a BGP Optimizer Knocked Large Parts of the Internet Offline Today
What happened?
Today at 10:30UTC, the Internet had a small heart attack. A small company in Northern Pennsylvania became a preferred path of many Internet routes through Verizon (AS701), a major Internet transit provider. This was the equivalent of Waze routing an entire freeway down a neighborhood street — resulting in many websites on Cloudflare, and many other providers, to be unavailable from large parts of the Internet. This should never have happened because Verizon should never have forwarded those routes to the rest of the Internet. To understand why, read on.
Yet another episode of drunk sysadmin.
