PeakD had a workaround ready and waiting.
It's not like these kind of problems are seldom these days. I think this is the second for cloudflare this year. A few weeks ago, it was AWS. Always good to have an extra node or two that will keep working when the mainstream fails...
I saw this, but didn't know about it earlier. Next time, they should put an automatic redirect if it is down., or a link to the site. It is great that they were prepared!
Yeah, an automatic redirect would definitely be good. I'll throw that into their suggestions box (if you haven't yet)
