Alice Averlong🏳️⚧️it keeps turning out to be a mistake to put one third of the internet in one building
shironeko@foone I get a kick every time something like this happens and I only find out from other people. I'm so glad my efforts are working and how little my internet usage depends on the big guys.
Julis 🦊 Fox Grrrl@shironeko @foone i only noticed because i use a music streaming service🥲

All xkcds (except briefly the newest one) have been transcribed (and then some) at http://explainxkcd.com/908 (in this case).
Tor Lillqvist@foone Is that champagne corks popping I hear over in Beijing?
Tungsten_carbide 🍉@foone Downdetector suggests current outages are due to an AWS issue, could anyone confirm this?

Jonathan WrightCouldn't agree more.
When something goes wrong, for whatever reason, it takes out a plethora of sites, and causes problems in many different ways.
No matter how attractive it may seem in terms of cost-saving or efficiency, it opens the door to hackers or power outages, etc, to cause mayhem as there's a sngle point of failure.
Moral of the story: Don't put all your eggs in one basket.
eviloatmeal, resident Death Stranding 2 apologist (arch, btw)@foone You don't understand. We just need to make the building "too big to fail". We just need one more lane on the information superhighway. Just one more...

Le personified devil@foone I'd argue that as a not gigantic business it still nets you better uptime overall and if ur down, half the other stuff your customer uses is also down, so they're not gonna blame you specifically. Otoh, for people using the service, outages being more asynchronous definitely makes them less debilitating.
Like sure u could've not been down currently, but that would've likely meant being down another couple times over the year (esp when self-hosting).

🇨🇦 CowMan 🇪🇺 🇺🇦 🇲🇽@personifieddevil @foone Maybe they should have put AWS in the cloud?
Stéphane Bortzmeyer@foone Of the Web. The Internet worked just fine.
⬡-0xd67b0f@foone that's why it doesn't like to use the signal messenger. It's hosted on AWS, and if that goes south... Well you already know.

The Internet
The "Internet" was a small black plastic box with a tiny red light on top, given to Jen by Roy and Moss as a joke for her employee of the month speech, which she offered to allow Roy and Moss contribute towards. They agreed, by using the "Internet". The reason for the existence of this comical device was to make Jen's speech an unforgettable moment for Roy and Moss. Including such 'facts' that the "Internet" belonged on top of the Big Ben where it had the 'best reception'. Everyone in...

Horrible Creature@foone It's so weird that the Deus Ex version of the internet, where it is routed through a single terminal in Area 51, is becoming real.

Aoi_X_Kaizaki@foone How about a 1/3 of the State's population stacked on top of each other; in New York?

🔞 [nsfw.lgbt]@foone Just think about how much of the Fediverse is hosted with Hetzner. 🤣
Max Effort@foone let's be perfectly honest, clear, and transparent.
AI did it.

@foone but if we keep putting the same third of the Internet in the same building and replace the people by using hazing, a hostile work environment, and stack ranking, we'll definitely fix it.

Christian Lynbech@foone @technomancy I wonder what Microsoft is thinking about ChatGPT being out of commision due to the AWS outage 🤔
Alexander The 1st@mapcar @foone @technomancy ...You know, this does remind me that someone posted that Windows 11 is now trying to include CoPilot in every Windows 11 machine (Disabled by default, apparently?), and wondering if *they* were the ones who took down AWS with that update.
@AT1ST @foone @technomancy My understanding is that the outage was due to a bogus DNS update. I would also assume that CoPilot and ChatGPT would be running on Azure (and not AWS), which is what makes it strange that ChatGPT was affected.
