Yet again I will point out that because "enterprise web development" is cargo-culting these days, a single website might rely on multiple gigantic "cloud" providers at the same time.
We know these exist because when Azure was down, some were blaming CloudFlare. 🤡
There are only so many of these gigantic providers. So if a website relies on CloudFlare, AWS, and Azure simultaneously, over the last month it would have been dead in the water on three different occasions, for hours on end. 👀

Me: Mom, i want decentralized web!
Mom: We have decentralized web at home
Decentralized web at home: website relying on AWS, Cloudflare and Azure at the same time. -

This is, of course, hilarious. If a single traffic spike can bring CloudFlare down for hours, and with it innumerable websites and services, what exactly is the point of CloudFlare?
Yes, I understand that a way smaller traffic spike would probably bring any individual website down if they were all hosted separately. Sure.
But bringing them *all* down at the same time would be impossible. That's resilience through independence.
#CloudFlare is a single point of failure, and it keeps failing.

@rysiek the Guardian’s article also had the gall to finish with “it was unlikely to be a cyber-attack as a service so large is unlikely to have a single point of failure” (despite the very article being about how it took down practically everything).
Why do better when even the media will make apologies for you?
But they have since amended the article to remove that line 😂

@rysiek Doesn’t really sound, from the article, as a traffic spike that “would probably bring any individual website down”. Sounds to me more like “we have this program vital to our infrastructure that parses up to 128 MB from this config file, and that’s been fine for years” and now they went slightly over the magic file limit and the piece of infra panicked on config read…

@FediThing I looked into it and I'm not worried at all. The fact they are "launching" in Davos says it all. Starting a new social media network from scratch is hard work. It's gonna fizzle out. The name alone makes it so ridiculous

@marcoboh @andre123 il nostro problema è comunque strutturale
Non possiamo fare niente così come siamo, siamo impotenti perche siamo come un'idra con le teste che litigano fra loro, al massimo come una barca con tanti remi che remano a caso seguiremo la corrente (in un mare di corazzate)
Il cambiamento diventa necessario ma non abbiamo tempo, è già tardi
(A prescindere dal fatto che un'Europa forte potrebbe essere colonialista pure lei, una macchina rimessa a nuovo e consegnata alle ultradestre)

@nina_kali_nina programming languages fade out of memory faster without use for me. I think that's probably because drawing and music are more fundamental
-
@nina_kali_nina and then I spaced on practicing for about two years, and was surprised I still had a song in my repertoire after that when I started playing again XD
-
@nina_kali_nina I think so too. I stopped taking piano lessons as a teenager, and I picked it back up somewhere about 15 years later give or take and it didn't take long for me to basically speed run 15 years of piano lessons and get back into playing more advanced pieces
-
@aeva I suspect it is similar to music making skills - it takes a while to remember things after a hiatus, but it's much faster than learning from scratch, and there's far more confidence in "I can do this"
-
@khleedril I believe it

@aeva The original two-factor authentication was a ruse to force you to give up your phone number.
