CloudFront?

About This Message Board

Twice this morning I’ve gotten an error, once trying to bring up a thread, once trying to report a thread. The error is:

*CloudFront attempted to establish a connection with the origin, but either the attempt failed or the origin closed the connection.

A quick dive into Wiki shows that it is a CDN service provided by Amazon. Are the hamsters being provided by Amazon now or is this some kind of bizzaro hijacking?

They are our hamster provider. There’s no weird hijacking going on.

Their servers were apparently borked for a bit this morning. Seems to be ok now.

I, for one, welcome our new hamster overlords. Or is it Amazon?

Cloudfront sounds like a messageboard for the alt right.

Yeah, I winced thinking at first this had to do with that other <weatherterm>Front site.

Amazonian hamsters?
