We depend on Cloudflare's CDN for our relay servers. Earlier today a latent bug in a service underpinning Cloudflare's bot mitigation capability started to crash after a routine configuration change. This cascaded into a degradation of the Cloudflare network and the BEAM and GTribe servers.
Look into rumble cloud and hosting they have a system separate I believe and just passing on some insight to have redundancy

I was wondering why a good chunk of websites were either down or moving really slow. I knew it wasn't my connection this time.

I often forget how many sites use Cloudflare. I'm only reminded by the occasional Cloudflare page popping up to verify me or blocking me from accessing the site.

Amazon Web Services (AWS) is a market leader in cloud computing service providers, although it has its own share of flaws, and one of them came into public attention with the Amazon AWS Outage that started yesterday, and is just starting to recover.
Our core services [GTribe, Beacon MAX and BEAM] are only modestly exposed to AWS, and only through third party APIs and/or services.
I didn't know about this until I tried to make my car payment earlier today. My Credit Union uses AWS for Payment, Call Service, and Loan Applications. โ

The GTribe Music Player is back in action! The issue was traced to corrupted SoundCloud API keys, which have now been fully replaced and restored.
If you experience any hiccups with the Music Player, please reach out to Teodor Atroshenko so he can take a look.
Our global network has two primary sections: (1) core servers located at a datacenter in the USA (2) relay servers distributed at datacenters in 125 countries across the globe. Last night our core servers experienced a temporary blackout due to power equipment failure.
It's been fixed.
Huh. I was re-watching the Matrix trilogy right before encountering your T-Rex page. Then the site goes back up and you guys post a Matrix reference. โ
