June 2023: a Google data center in France floods and they call it a “water intrusion event”

@0xabad1dea Well, I suppose Amazon aren't *wrong*. 🤣

[0xabad1dea@infosec.exchange]

I am sick and very out of it, as you might be able to tell by how I initially characterized a screenshot with a timestamp in March written right on it as February

[jernej__s@infosec.exchange]

@0xabad1dea "… creating sparks and fire."

[henearxn@chaos.social]

@0xabad1dea if it was "literally struck by a ballistic missile" they'd not be talking about bringing it back up in a few hours...

[djgummikuh@mastodon.social]

@0xabad1dea people killed by this war are probably taking a "leave of absence based on health issues"...

[dss@infosec.exchange]

@HeNeArXn @0xabad1dea of course they would!

[tony@toot.hoyle.me.uk]

@0xabad1dea The 'localised power issue' they keep going on about is presumably Iran vs Israel.

[rollotreadway@beige.party]

@0xabad1dea I hope you feel better soon.

@0xabad1dea "Impacted by Objects" is either my next band name, or doctors notes from the colorectal unit in the hospital.

@HeNeArXn @0xabad1dea FWIW we’re currently at “full recovery is still expected to be many hours away”

[0xabad1dea@infosec.exchange]

@HeNeArXn presumably the missile was not aimed directly at the data center but at something nearby. If your neighbor is exploded off the face of the earth by a missile and your power generator is taken out by the kinetic impact, you have been struck by a missile, you’re just luckily alive enough to complain about it

@0xabad1dea And I thought my government was acting cringe by calling gas leak explosion "a pop".

[capnthommo@c.im]

@0xabad1dea so I guess if one burns down it'd be "influenced by a temperature event"

[henearxn@chaos.social]

@0xabad1dea or its fragments from an intercepted missile or drone, or from something fired at an incoming missile, or bits from a plane, or ... and they might not even know yet what exactly it was. Hence, "objects".

[x31andy@mastodon.green]

@0xabad1dea

Maybe they can knock out a few other data centres whilst they are about it. I'm open to suggestions.

[imipram1ne@mastodon.social]

@darkling nobody to say it can't be both

[regendans@todon.eu]

Climatecrisis-deniers and war-enablers go hand in hand ? 🤔

[nocturnalnessa@infosec.exchange]

@0xabad1dea theres a kind of psych major who literally nerds out about this kind of thing. like "if you say x it creates y impression because z psychology reason" and i respect that but like sometimes....sometimes

[greem@cyberplace.social]

@0xabad1dea Sending good vibes your way. I hope you feel better soon.

[via4@mastodon.social]

@0xabad1dea This is a characteristic trait of authoritarian systems, which corporations inherently are. In Russian propagandists media they used to call explosion a "clap." No kidding, "a gas clap in residential building" has become a meme
