Cloudflare "Always Online" Appreciation Thread

Submitted by ctallarico20 on

I noticed that the site was offline - but it looks like they've added an "always online" feature in cloudflare where it rendered the most recently online version of the site - so I could still see the posts, even if new ones weren't immediately available.

 

Thanks mods!  Improvements!

I think it's been serving up cached versions of the site, when able to, while the site is offline for a while now. Unless this is something different?

There was something last week about a bug in their programming that was exploited.  Don't know how serious it was, but I'm not fully on the Cloudflare bandwagon for the time being.

CloudFlare: "Here is old, static content while we put new bearings in the hamster wheel for the umpteenth time."

Sounds like maybe eventually something new and better and less hamstery will be coming though.
