The Cloudflare outage was caused by a Rust β€š.unwrap()β€˜ panic, undistinguishable to the non-connoisseur from a segfault.

(Dont @ me with undefined behaviour on mythical systems you cannot name)

The effective difference between segfault and unwrap is that the former would have caused a wave of unbearable Rust smugness in my timeline.

This way, itβ€˜s just a coding error. We all do those.πŸ’πŸ»β€β™‚οΈ
