cloudflare imitation that blames the user for using Chrome browser instead of Firefox

Flip the script

domi@lemmy.secnd.me · 42 pts · 250d (2 replies)

We need a fourth one for "User error".

AnUnusualRelic@lemmy.world · 20 pts · 250d (1 reply)

A pebkac mode.

"You're doing it wrong ya doofus"

Taleya@aussie.zone · 30 pts · 250d

Ohhh i'm adding that

Scoopta@programming.dev · 234 pts · 250d (12 replies)

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.

Grimy@lemmy.world · 42 pts · 250d

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

Deebster@infosec.pub · 10 pts · 250d

I did look it up after posting, and thought this one explained it better:
https://nic.moe/en/

What is moe?

The word “moe” (in Japanese: “萌え”; pronounced as “moh-ay”) is a slang word rooted deep in the Japanese Otaku culture. It has often been used to mean a particular type of “adorable” or “cute” towards fictional characters, people, animals, etc.

Oh, man, the people that design most REST APIs got loose!

Witchfire@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 250d

I'm pretty sure I've had to debug errors like that

fibojoly@sh.itjust.works · 2 pts · 247d

That's user error. "Everything is working fine on our end. You figure it out, champs".

WagnasT@piefed.world · 33 pts · 250d

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.

user224@lemmy.sdf.org · 21 pts · 250d

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.

That's gotta be like actually illegal unless cloud flair is to blame and then how did they reach your server?

it_depends_man@lemmy.world · 29 pts · 250d

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.

hddsx@lemmy.ca · 17 pts · 250d (3 replies)

Just call it cloudfare.

Honestly, unless I see the correct version, my brain defaults to this name as the correct one.

It's trademark infringement.

NaibofTabr@infosec.pub · 57 pts · 250d (1 reply)

Yeah, at this point Cloudflare should just trademark network outages.

dumbass@piefed.social · 8 pts · 250d

You know Amazon would try to crash that attempt.

Chronographs@lemmy.zip · 7 pts · 250d (1 reply)

Can they do anything if you don’t actually use them though lol

Goretantath@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 250d

The slander bit.

cupcakezealot@piefed.blahaj.zone · 11 pts · 250d

derrick from sales guy vs web dude would have loved this

Arghblarg@lemmy.ca · 10 pts · 250d

Ooo that's fun. Might have to add that to my site.

FranciscoLopez@lemmy.world · 9 pts · 250d

This is peak SRE: better UX, better telemetry, and better blame routing—all in one error page.

D1re_W0lf@piefed.world · 6 pts · 250d

On the same genius line: 😁

Grass@sh.itjust.works · 6 pts · 250d

I'll use this for various things on my domain while having no actual involvement with cloudflare

30p87@feddit.org · 4 pts · 250d
Xanthrax@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 250d

And it results in a call to the ISP's customer service for 30 minutes.

MehBlah@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 250d

A cloudfront ip block would be even simpler to do.

AmericanEconomicThinkTank@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 249d

Lmao shit dude that's like something out of an 80s corporate disinformation campaign.

Beautiful.

calcopiritus@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 250d (1 reply)

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.

MehBlah@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 250d

If its a cloudfront IP block down detector wont do you any good. Complaining to cloudfront wont do you any good either..

DarkCloud@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 250d

Probably better off simulating the impression without the company name on display.

DylanMc6@lemmy.ml · -2 pts · 250d

cloudflare should be split into different companies which would then be given to the workers who would collectivize each of them. seriously!
