Flip the script
We need a fourth one for “User error”.
A pebkac mode.
Ohhh i’m adding that
Further increase confusion by having error pages where all 3 are green
Add more colours a button that turns it into a slot machine. Three sevens and you win a prize.
(a redirect to a picture of a duck)
Add a contact button so they can email CloudFlare about the bug directly.
When you’ve eliminated all other possibilities, it must be the user that’s at fault
Well, that is an available preset too: https://virt.moe/cferr/wxqcqcd
I think that’s the first time I’ve seen the .moe TLD outside catbox. What even is it, I just think of the bartender from the Simpsons.
It’s for things that are moe
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.moe
I did look it up after posting, and thought this one explained it better:
https://nic.moe/en/
Wikipedia on .moe
Oh, man, the people that design most REST APIs got loose!
I’m pretty sure I’ve had to debug errors like that
That’s user error.
“Everything is working fine on our end. You figure it out, champs”.
I would forget I set this up and not fix the problem for a while. Honestly seems like a win if the boss can’t tell.
That github link randomly redirects me to https://virt.moe/cferr/editor/
Huh?
Edit: No I am just a fucking idiot. I thought “Github Website” was a single link, not 2 links.
Ooo that’s fun. Might have to add that to my site.
derrick from sales guy vs web dude would have loved this
This is peak SRE: better UX, better telemetry, and better blame routing—all in one error page.
On the same genius line: 😁

I’ll use this for various things on my domain while having no actual involvement with cloudflare
https://virt.moe/cferr/cypov8d
And it results in a call to the ISP’s customer service for 30 minutes.
A cloudfront ip block would be even simpler to do.
That’s gotta be like actually illegal unless cloud flair is to blame and then how did they reach your server?
I mean, you have to modify it of course. You can’t literally blame cloudflare.
But you can modify everything so that it’s a funny joke that still looks like the cloudflare error that people know.
Just call it cloudfare.
douclflare
letter-spacing*Honestly, unless I see the correct version, my brain defaults to this name as the correct one.
It’s almost certainly against cloudflares tos, and against the open source license terms for the website, so if cloudflare gets wind about you doing this, they can probably send you a cease and desist, and then cancel your contract with them.
If they’re really pissed, and you run a decently large site that regularly runs into errors, they might be able to successfully argue slander in court.
It’s trademark infringement.
Yeah, at this point Cloudflare should just trademark network outages.
You know Amazon would try to crash that attempt.
Can they do anything if you don’t actually use them though lol
The slander bit.
Any body could just go to down detector. And of course effectively check the status of cloud flare based on if downdetector shows this page themselves.
If its a cloudfront IP block down detector wont do you any good. Complaining to cloudfront wont do you any good either..
Probably better off simulating the impression without the company name on display.
Lmao shit dude that’s like something out of an 80s corporate disinformation campaign.
Beautiful.
cloudflare should be split into different companies which would then be given to the workers who would collectivize each of them. seriously!
