The internet was initially designed to be fault tolerant and resilient. Even if one route was down, a package should be able to find another way to it's destination, that's what it was designed for. And it worked, because the internet is decentral.
With the advent of the cloud, everything should have become even more reliable. No more outages, because it's in the the cloud and cloud is always better than on prem.
Well, this morning I figured out that some of our communication platforms were not working as expected. Also some other SAAS solutions we are using had issues. And now it turns out that there is a global outage of AWS.
Can it really be a good option, when everything in the world relies on a handful of central cloud service providers? I doubt it...
But this gives us a first taste of what happens, when we only rely on a few central providers or providers all based in one country.

I need to do some lifecycle management on my #gotosocial instance.
It is running on an Asus VivoPC with a dual core 2957U Celeron processor, and that's fine.
However disk access is extremely slow, so I am swapping the mechanical HDD @ 5400 RPM with an SSD, and increasing RAM a little bit. It is not needed for GtS, but for me to browse and use the PC for other tasks.
So I'll be going missing in a few hours until let's say tomorrow morning (CEST).
I'll be using my spare account @77nn
See you later!

La proposta per la pace è quella del completo ritiro dal Donbass. Gli ucraini dopo tre anni di difesa la considerano irricevibile. L'Unione Europea fuori dalle trattative mette pressione alla Russia con le decisioni su sanzioni e gas russo

Clown Computing! 🤡
