Is Rust down?

Tempest Hosting has apparently shut down all NY servers today. I had my Rust server on their dedicated box that I spent hundreds of dollars working on and months perfecting, poof out of existence. They claim that Emails were sent December 15th warning customers of the change (1)

during my mozilla research visit in 2014 to work on rust, i found a parser bug that manifested as a segfault in GNU make when you accidentally use spaces instead of tabs in the wrong spot. wasted a week until i gdb'd it down. it was already fixed upstream.

Fortnite you gonna release rust bucket, not the servers down lmao @FortniteStatus

I got rockets on me outside of base and servers are down😬#rust

**** Steam being down on Christmas Eve. These are the same people that say they are friendly, get your life story while roaming the Rust Belt and then shoot you at extract.

When @MartinShkreli is down to traumatize some nerds on @playrust and find the next emerging biopharmaceutical. @Steam @Twitch https://t.co/LcqwaaoQiy

Looking for more people to play @playrust with. I have about 600 hours of play time. Mostly modded servers on Ace. Just recently got into building and can put a pretty decent start down. Let me know if you wanna get down! #Rust #PVP

Cloudflare is down again? in part.. oh boy, another Rust issue perhaps?

Cloudflare is down ... again? .... Rust is a problem

There is a water outage in Rust En Vrede Avenue, Constantia, which could also be affecting the surrounds. The department is attending to this.

Wait, Rust was the reason the internet was down 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 yall better sit down

JUST WIPED!!! 𝖩𝗈𝗂𝗇 ➥ RSPS ✦✦✦✦SNOWRSPS ✦✦✦✦ Search for: RSPS in server tab ------------------------------------------------- Console & PC servers! Rust Private servers (RSPS) **Lookup: RSPS** or SnowRS 1 grid - Max pop 30/30 High PVP (30 pop helps keep lag down)

So what's up? Rust didn't help?... #internet #down

github going down again, did they transition to rust too?

On Cloudflare's outage: 1. Better systems engineering should have prevented this 2. Something upstream is more at fault than the Rust service 3. unwrap() was wrong—error belonged in Result 4. Rust service should have degraded gracefully with excess feature data

Bro cloudflare is down because of one just rust unwrap() that's scary that, how they let unwrap go without handling it

Cloudflare was down due to an unhandled error of Rust's Result. This is saddingly very common, and is convenient for devs to do so. Just turn on `clippy::unwrap` and make sure you only unwrap only when needed and you know what you are doing.

people blaming rust for the cloudflare outage it was user error, not a language issue and you’re still to dumb to work in rust

If the piece of code that caused the Cloudflare outage was written in C++ inside a try/catch block, the outage would have never occurred. Rust doesn't eliminate logic bugs, or seemingly null pointer references either. Why does this language make error handling so difficult?

This is one of the most interesting parts Created a custom communication protocol and codec for the GUI to interact with ~10+ Rust services (never block the main GUI thread) You can see a basic handshake, ping, version/path agreement and failure when the server is down etc https://t.co/nqcY23eVxU

Now how do I explain to the people on this application that Cloudflare outage wasn't caused by a memory safety issue in Rust

The Cloudflare outage wasn’t a Rust failure. It was a logic/ops issue upstream that hit an unhandled error path. Any language would fail if the code unwraps unexpected data. #cloudfare #outage #rust

Wonder what @ffmpeg has to say on @Cloudflare outage and its rust usage 😄

Say what you will about Go, but its “errors not panics” philosophy probably would’ve prevented yesterday’s Cloudflare outage. I love both Rust and Go, but the way parts of the Rust community treat it like a holy grail gets… a bit irritating.

oops I missed the outage, I was too busy coding in Rust

cloudflare outage caused by bug written in Rust. thought if everyone used Rust we would have no more bugs?

Rust causes an internet outage ??????????????????

so I'm not a rust fan or anything but yesterday's cloudflare outage was more of a skill issue than a rust issue

Lots of oversimplified takes about Rust unwrap due to the Cloudflare outage. In production code, I don't unwrap where I simply believe an error is unlikely, implying that the occasional crash is acceptable. I unwrap where the correct behavior upon the error is to panic.

It looks like Cloudflare's web application firewall system is down at the exact same moment one of its potential Rust dependencies (aya-rs) was broken due to a bad push tonight...
