For this year's Halloween, I'm going to yolo (aka vibe code) a critical piece of our infrastructure and push it directly to AWS without testing.

On a Friday afternoon. 🎃

#halloween #spooky #vibecoding #awsfail #fridaydeploy

The #DDoS on masto.host was pushed by #Amazon to try and flip the narrative on their catastrophic #AWS failure, to try and get back at all the smug #Fediverse users that were celebrating their instances still being accessible in the generalized downtime caused by the #AWSFail.

(This is obviously a joke, but when it comes to putting all the eggs in one basket remember that a large swath of the Fediverse isn't a much better position.)

Weil wir ja immer noch nach dem ultimativen Killerargument fuer mehr digitale Souveraenitaet suchen... Ich glaube ich habs.

Wenn das nicht zieht, dann weiss ich auch nicht mehr 😎

Smart bed owners experience AWS outage nightmare as they're left sweating and stuck in upright position

It wasn't just IT departments who had sleepless nights

TechRadar
"it seems that the talent who understood the deep failure modes is gone. [New] teams lack the institutional knowledge needed to [prevent incidents or] reduce the time to…recovery. …AWS' operational strength was built on redundant, experienced people, and when you cut…things start breaking." #awsfail
AWS crash causes $2,000 Smart Beds to overheat and get stuck upright

The AWS outage caused chaos for owners of Eight Sleep’s Pod3 mattresses as they had no offline mode and were stuck at high temperatures.
