Cloudflare Global Network Experiencing Issues

Internettet er vist ikke så stort :-)

4 years of German and I still don't quite "get" it :^) TY!

Katastrophenverursachererleichterung

Is there a word for a feeling that there's gotta be a German word for this niche feeling?

Entlastungvergnugen?

puhphorie

Fremdverfehlungserleichterung?

Having an alt to Cloudflare isn’t preposterous.

Because my customers don’t (and shouldn’t care) it’s a third party. If I caused it there is a chance I can fix it.

Can’t speak for GP but ultimately I’d rather it be my fault or my company’s fault so I have something I can directly do for my customers who can’t use our software. The sense of dread isn’t about failure but feeling empathy for others who might not make payroll on time or whatever because my service that they rely on is down. And the second order effects, like some employee of a customer being unable to make rent or be forced to take out a short term loan or whatever. The fallout from something like this can have an unexpected human cost at times. Thankfully it’s Tuesday, not a critical payroll day for most employees.

>maybe Schadeleichtig

Maybe "Erleichterung" (relief)? But as a German "Schadenserleichterung" (also: notice the "s" between both compound word parts) rather sounds like a reduction of damage (since "Erleichterung" also means mitigation or alleviation).

are we truly good if we don't start a class action suit against this hapless scapegoat?!

I would be tempted to put it on my CV :D

A Ringworld reference in the wild?

This reminds of a friend I had in college. We were assigned to the same group coding an advanced calculator in C. This guy didn't know anything about programming (he was mostly focused on his side biz of selling collector sneakers), so we assigned him to do all the testing, his job was to come up with weird equations and weird but valid way to present them to the calculator. And this dude somehow managed to crash almost all of our iterations except the few last ones. Really put the joke about a programmer, a tester, and a customer walk into a bar into perspective.

> If I were Cloudflare it would mean an immediate job offer well above market.

And not a lawsuit? Cause I've read more about that kind of reaction than of job offers. Though I guess lawsuits are more likely to be controversial and talked about.

You could easily cause great damage to your Cloudflare setup, but CF has measures to prevent random customers deleting stuff from taking down the entire service globally. Unless you have admin access to the entire CF system, you can't really cause much damage with rm.

Are you actually so mind-numbingly ignorant that you think Rebecca Heineman had a brother named Bill, that you would rudely and incorrectly try to correct people who knew her story well, during a memorial discussion of her life and death?

Or were you purposefully going out of your way to perpetrate performative ignorance and transphobic bullying, just to let everyone know that you're a bigoted transphobic asshole?

I don't buy that it was an innocent mistake, given the context of the rest of the discussion, and your pretending to know her family better than the poster you were replying to and everyone else in the discussion, falsely denying her credit for her own work. Do you really think dang made the Hacker News header black because he and everyone else was confused and you were right?

Do you like to show up at funerals of people you don't know, just to interrupt the eulogy with insults, stuff pennies up your ass (as you claim to do), then shit and piss all over the coffin in front of their family and friends?

How long did you have to wait until she died before you had the courage to deadname, misgender, and punch down at her in a memorial, out of hate and cowardice and a perverse desire to show everyone what kind of a person you really are?

Next time, can you at least wait until after the funeral before committing your public abuse?

The work you're outlining here is was performed by "Bill Heineman" - maybe you are mixing up Bill with his sister Rebecca?!?
