These massive "cloud" outages will continue to happen, inevitably, because they are "normal accidents":
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Normal_Accidents

Any system that:
- is complex,
- is tightly coupled, and
- has catastrophic potential

…can be expected to experience catastrophic failures. AWS, Google Cloud, #Microsoft #Azure check all these boxes.

Fun fact: Internet was specifically designed to *not* be like that. It was designed to be loosely coupled.

But that's not as good for maximizing shareholder value!

Tis the season 🍂

Spray on your door bleeding black
You the lovelorn
the love sick
Lovely

Your eyes, shards of sea glass
caught mine

Peaches
You called me

brown and pink
fuzz on my cheeks

Cream
I said

you were soft as silk
as we lay in bed

Hi guys, I started working at AWS as a Senior Software Developer. A couple of hours ago, I pushed new updates to AWS to speed things up. I have a good feeling about it. I'm so glad for the new job 🙃

Monopolies are single points of failure.

Privacy should come standard for everyone.

playing with the idea of the internet as a utility. It should be like electricity or gas. My powerlines aren't trying to spy on my every move. So why the fuck is my ISP?

This isn't a minmax problem. There is no best way to defeat fascism. There is no one thing that will do the trick.

We need tens of thousands, we need *millions* of acts of resistance. And every single one of them will help, and every single one of them will be insufficient.

Nobody can carry a stone big enough to outweigh the power and hatred of fascism.

But the scale doesn't care whether it's one stone, or a hundred, or a thousand, or a million.

Bring your pebble.

Anarchists from #Belarus and #Dresden organized an exhibition about the protests against the dictatorship in 2020. The exhibition tells the story of those who fought and are still fighting against Lukashenko's regime and Russian empire. #Anarchism
