There's something maliciously satisfying about seeing your own self-hosted stuff working while things behind Cloudflare or AWS are broken. Sure, they have like four more nines that me, but right now I'm sitting pretty.

My (s)crappy personal site was up during the AWS outage, Azure outage and now Cloud flare outage. And I have it for 2 months only! Maybe I can add a tracker somewhere, might be fun.

Can recommend Uptime Kuma for this purpose: https://github.com/louislam/uptime-kuma

		I actually have exactly this, paired with ntfy. I was thinking more like badges: "was up during AWS outage in 2025" etc.

My selfhosted sites are down because of the cloudflares proxy. Ugh

		Only my 'www' is affected ie my blog. Other self hosted like jellyfin and vaultwarden work fine

This is a real problem for some some “old-school enterprise” companies that use Oracle, SAP, etc. along with the new AWS/CF based services. They are all waiting around for new apps to come back up while their Oracle suite/SAP are still functioning. There is a lesson here for some of these new companies selling to old-school companies.

How do you deal with DNS? I'm hosting something on a Raspberry Pi at home, and I had recently moved the DNS to Cloudflare. It's quite funny seeing my small personal website being down, although quite satisfying seeing both the browser and host with a green tick while Cloudflare is down.

		> How do you deal with DNS? DNS is actually one of the easiest services to self-host, and it's fairly tolerant of downtime due to caching. If you want redundancy/geographical distribution, Hurricane Electric has a free secondary/slave DNS service [0] where they'll automatically mirror your primary/master DNS server.

		I don't have experience with a dynDNS setup like you describe, hosting from (probably) home. But my domains are on a VPS (and a few other places here and there) and DNS is done via my domain reseller's DNS settings pages. Never had an issue hosting my stuff, but as said - don't yet have experience hoting something from home with a more dynamic DNS setup.

		Pangolin is awesome. It's like self-hosted Cloudflare Tunnels https://github.com/fosrl/pangolin

I was just able to save a proxied site. Then the dashboard went down again. I didn't even know it was still on. It's really not doing anything for performance because the traffic is quite low.

just a couple of days ago, I've moved my self hosted stuff from Cloudflare :)
