- PunchyHamster 10mo agoSee, that's the joke, all of them are on cloudflare/us-west-1 so they all go down together anyway

- state_less 10mo agoThere's always another asking, "Are you down?" It's a bit of a bop. https://youtu.be/DpMfP6qUSBo https://youtu.be/DpMfP6qUSBo
- philipwhiuk 10mo agoOr "Quis custodiet ipsos custodes?"
- graemep 10mo agoCan down detector not detect whether down detector detector is down or not? Maybe distributed down detection? I know there are people here perfectly capable of running with that idea and we might just see a distributed down detector announced on HN :)
- falcor84 10mo agoI know you were joking, but responding in seriousness - while in general it's worthwhile asking "Quis custodiet ipsos custodes?", in this particular case, I don't see any issue with Down Detector detecting the Down Detector Down Detector. Assuming they are in different availability zones, using different code, with a different deployment cadence, this approach works quite well in practice.

- mylons 10mo agohaha — this is the exact comment i was hoping to see! indeed, i was joking. The Watchmen graphic novel is very important to me as it opened my eyes to the concept of “who watches the watchmen” which I was ultimately eluding to here, albeit extremely facetiously.
