@mapto@qoto.orgThe bureaucratic rigidness of the Italian government has taken it to a completely unnecessary conflict with US providers. With the poorly-planned Privacy Shield initiative, it entered a digital sovereignty conflict the country never prepared for. The appalling thing is that even the outspoken Mario Draghi didn't try to walk his talk. And now Cloudfare threatens to resist.

@theodric@social.linux.pizzaBrief Starlink outage (our second ever). Strange that throughout I could ping 1.1.1.1 but not 9.9.9.9 or any other Internet host for which I have the IP saved. I reckon this means Cloudflare has a DNS instance in the same DC/on a peering fabric adjacent to the Starlink "Dublin" (LDNGBR) ground station.
