    Not to spread concern or anything, but the electrical grid is managed and controlled by software. And that software may or may not be very reliant on AWS. I’m probably not allowed to say more than that.

    Earth: layer below electricity, melting and disintegrating

    Elon Musk: boring through Earth and strapping hopelessly tiny, exploding rockets to the “Electricity” block to get everything to Mars

    Sun: lowermost layer but extending a fist labeled “2027 solar flare” at internet infrastructure

    If you add infrastructure then you will need to add more transmission methods then a couple shark chewed undersea cables. Then you might as well add the millions of SAs, technicians, linemen (linepersons?), etc that install and maintain everything. Oh and I guess we would also need all the institutions and teachers that train all these techies.

    In all seriousness though, the core of the technical stack has become very robust in my opinion (DNS being the exception). From a hobbyist’s perspective, things work much better than when the Web was still young. I can run multiple sites (some of them being what are today called apps) on a donation with subdomains, everything fast, HTTP3-capable, secured via valid free TLS certs, reverse proxied, all of that running on a system deployed in minutes…

    If you focus on the part of the Internet that you have control over, it’s a lot better than back in the simple days.

    Can we please not make the layer above Electricity look like tombstones? I looked at “Linus Torvalds” and almost had a heart attack!

      Probably Kernighan and Ritchie. Ritchie invented C, Kernighan teamed up with him to write the first C programming book.

      I can only assume this (copy-pasted from wikipedia)

      The C Programming Language (sometimes termed K&R, after its authors’ initials) is a computer programming book written by Brian Kernighan and Dennis Ritchie, the latter of whom originally designed and implemented the C programming language, as well as co-designed the Unix operating system with which development of the language was closely intertwined

        K&R book is great! When you’re done with that I highly recommend you move on to “Modern C” by Jens Gustedt. It’s available for free online or in print. Brought my C knowledge up to date with all the cool stuff C23 has in it. Jens’ blog is a great resource as well.

        Edit: typo

        I can confirm, K&R is the book written by Kernighan and Ritchie. It is/was the Bible of the C language.

        Amazon link if you’re interested in the reviews.
