  It is sort of depressing how concentrated or centralized the internet has gotten.

      Fediverse priority #1: Be able to talk to a paid actor pretending to be a model* Priority #2: Spend money to see the nudes they send in DMs

      *for major creators, I’m sure many minor/independent ones are genuine

  If your alarm clock needs an internet connection then you need an old alarm clock.

    You can get very fancy new alarm clocks that don’t need internet, skill issue. I’m convinced consumer grade IoT tech is some kind of irrational boomer exhibitionism thing

      If I host my own smart home with zigbee devices, does that still count as consumer IoT tech? The zigbee devices themselves are the typical philips hue, ikea tradfi, etc. devices

  I feel like the internet should probably be hosted in as many different servers and physical locations as possible. It seems alarming that these things happen as often as they do

    It was only the one AWS region that went down, us-east-1. Unfortunately that’s the big kahuna. But they’ve got regions and availability zones around the globe. The services that went down due to the outage need to get some cross-region redundancy happening, but that’s the kind of thing that’s never a priority until the moment you need it.

      Even the places that did have redundancy - didn’t have actually tested failovers.

      Source: working at a place hosted in multiple locations. Didn’t mean shit. Somebody, if not many somebody’s, is definitely getting fired when the smoke clears.

  I like how Fortnite is part of this.

  If fortnite goes down, I laugh.
