It's not you, cloudflare, npm, firebase, and google cloud are all having issues. If you are affected, go touch grass. There's nothing you can do about it.

Found this tonight and it's a really solid read on the Go runtime. Definitely a long post but it's got a lot of useful info in it.

Learned a lot about things that I haven't really dug into before from it.
