I visited GeekZone within the outage, at that very moment I got a 500 error.

I had multiple sites affected, mostly because backend api(s) became inaccessible. 
Just finished writing the incident reports for the people who pay me :)

I had two sites with this. GZ and Pressf1.

Wow I honestly forgot PressF1 was even still there.

Gitlab had a minor outage as well (500 error)

Looks like it was worldwide:

I noticed this as well, thought Spark was having issues. Looks like everyone was. I couldn't get to Geekzone either - checked the Twitter feed (that one was still working) for any outages but nothing there.

Outage report

Summary - BGP error

When I had internet problems the other day that seemed almost site specific I did wonder if was it was something like akamai or cloudflare down.  Turned out to be 2degrees had blacklisted a range of ips which my static fell under...fun fun fun.   But you had partial internet at the time.

Yes I did. Was trying to find out how to read the ripple control thingy in my meter box, to work out if it was that, or if my hot water cylinder was dead all of a sudden. There were some search results for geekzone in google actually, but they repeatedly failed, as did many other results in google relating to troubleshooting & repairs of hot water cylinders.

Interestingly, the ripple control setting was the opposite of what a CSR at my power company told me it should be. OFF means no power getting to the HW cylinder, NOT ripple control is currently off/not being activated as per the CSR. Later that night the switch flicked to ON and my Hot water cylinder sprang back to life. First time I've ever been aware of ripple control affecting my supply of hot water, and been on this plan for 17 winters now. Glad to not be needing an electrician or plumber today (as I was told I would need), and also that the internet is behaving again!
