Our team received a report of intermittent app outages at about 11:40pm PDT on April 15, 2026. They worked through the night to mitigate a sophisticated Distributed Denial-of-Service (DDoS) attack, which intensified throughout the day.

Like this post if you vote BGP

so the thing is that i am not worried about "superintelligence." i am worried about an agent swarm doing something like, e.g., turning off BGP and us having to hunt down and quarantine a bunch of Kimi instances on rented clusters BGP redirecting half the world's Internet traffic down a hole.

On May 20th 2025 a BGP message was propagated that triggered some surprisingly disruptive behaviours with two major BGP implementations make up a lot of the internet.

In a new blog post, I will dissect what that message was, and my thoughts on how it happened:

It's not you, cloudflare, npm, firebase, and google cloud are all having issues. If you are affected, go touch grass. There's nothing you can do about it.

who has opposable thumbs and a working BGP session? this girlthing <<<

Guys, it’s fine. It’s probably DNS. Or BGP. Or us-east-1

Frankly, the entire Internet is made of duct tape and popsicle sticks held together by bubble gum and string and it’s amazing that anything ever works at all

The four horsemen of the apocalypse are DNS, BGP, race conditions, and the North American Fiber Seeking Backhoe

The real question: DNS, BGP, or Fibre-seeking backhoe?

OH MY GOD IT WAS BGP

We've had to teach so much of the team about BGP because it's such a wacky thing to have to explain in an outage.

"The website is down because someone ran a perl script bad on a box 50 miles away from us and now all our packets are getting dropped somewhere in Mexico"

If it’s not DNS it’s BGP
