Took down Framework's website, which I was using.

So, there are a couple of reasons to use CloudFlare, but I suspect that the reason that a lot of people are doing so is to deal with DDoSes, which are hard to deal with otherwise.
Like, my home instance, lemmy.today, doesn't use CloudFlare, so it isn't affected by a CloudFlare outage. But...it was also knocked offline for a few days about a month back by a DDoS.
A lot of major sites do depend on CloudFlare, so they probably aren't going to have a horrendous amount of downtime
like, any issue that comes up is probably gonna have a lot of engineers banging on it pretty quickly.
It's back up now.

Ah, yeah, thanks, though the community name is incorrect (needs an underscore) and is missing the instance name.
Just keep in mind that the long run trend for storage prices is pretty strongly downwards; that's a log-scale graph.
Are we okay with the “mildly infuriating” community becoming a “news that really upset me” community?
Note that Reddit's /r/MildlyInfuriating spawned /r/ActuallyInfuriating for stuff that is more severe.
Searching on lemmyverse.net shows that we do have an /r/ActuallyInfuriating analog at !actually_infuriating@lemmy.world.
Maybe the community mods might consider putting it in the sidebar? @Aer@lemmy.world, @Striker@lemmy.world, @Tenthrow@lemmy.world?
The cases of old ones are on eBay, as I mention in another comment.
And it looks like someone has made ATX mounting kits.

Good point!
I admit I'm using my 1,1 as an extra seat in the office, but it's form of use.
And I bought it back in 2006
Looks like non-functional 2006 Mac Pros are on eBay for $60. Cheaper than an office chair!
Even if they're generating articles, I'd have thought that they'd at least be reading them before publishing them.
/r/Europe used to have a "no title editorialization" rule. There might be some sense to having it here as well.
I mean, it's easy to check whether a given instance is using CloudFlare.
You can browse anonymously on any instance that permits doing so, so if you just want to browse during an outage, you can do that anywhere.
IMHO, having an account on a second Threadiverse instance isn't necessarily a terrible idea, not just because of CloudFlare outages, but because instances do have outages for various reasons. I have an account on olio.cafe (PieFed, not on CloudFlare) and on lemmy.today (Lemmy, not on CloudFlare) because I wanted to try out PieFed, and I have fallen back to that to post before if lemmy.today has issues.
That being said, I didn't intentionally try to avoid CloudFlare. I mean, they're used by a lot of major sites, and I don't expect them to have a lot of downtime. I mean, every Threadiverse instance has had downtime for some reason or another. I've had Internet outages, as well as electricity outages. Not all that common or usually an extended thing, but they happen.
