Eugenics bullshit never fully went away. I keep hoping worm brain does one stupid reckless stunt too many and wins that Darwin award he’s so overdue for.

Using robots for dreary drudge work could be a good thing with something like UBI to go along with it. But instead of fully automated luxury gay space communism, they will implement “Gilded Age 2.0: The Worser Dystopia”, instead.

Yup, dumpf will call for a court martial or some other batshit insane “solution” and his enablers will try to enable it.

Well, some of us have niche kinks, like dumping poo from a fighter jet. You won’t find that any ol’ porn hub site.

This is definitely a trap. It’s happening at the same time as the anti-porn crusade.

It’s also occurred to me that that DIY self-hosting is trending in popularity. To connect their self-hosted services to the internet more securely, people use VPN tunnels like WireGuard, etc.

The corporations want us to subscribe to all the things and own nothing, so they can’t be happy about this trend.

The anti-porn moral panic is clearly the main thing going on here. But it’s always wise to follow the money.

Considering how many people need to use VPNs to telecommute, this seems like it would be a non-starter. But you can’t discount the sheer stupidity and hubris of Republicans these days.

Shut up and take my money!

It is. I’ve never been one to stand in line for a new phone or whatever. But I definitely get a dopamine hit when I purchase “the perfect tool” for my hobbies and the like.

One trick I do is force myself to put the item on a shopping list or wishlist, and then sleep on it before buying. It’s interesting and useful to look back at all the crap on those lists that I did not purchase, and now no longer want.

Same with us. Had to reboot/restart a number of things, and resynch clocks.

There are some downstream / knock on effects going on which can be explained…but I can’t help but wonder if today’s story is bigger than just AWS. AWS saying it was an outage of a “few hours” for DynamoDB and DNS…and that doesn’t line up all that great with what people are reporting in the wild . I’m not trying to start a conspiracy theory, just wondering what the post mortems will tell us, if anything. Obviously the suits want to keep embarrassing fuckups downplayed as much as possible.

Yup, and some things which can be moved cannot be done automatically, quickly or easily…even if you are prepared. AWS is a huge suite of products and services, and there’s a lot of old legacy shit running on it. I wouldn’t punch down on the ops for this one. Cybersecurity and disaster recovery are not directly profitable, so they are almost always neglected in your average shop.

Hey now, he puts a lot of effort into that hair style! It’s not easy bending over and farting in your own face constantly while you apply hair product.

This troll just wants to be contrarian to whatever is currently going on, and she tries to grab the spotlight for herself in that manner. Sadly it often works.

There aren’t enough health care providers to go around, and the red areas are becoming hostile to those educated in medicine.

Maybe all health care providers should move en masse out of red areas into blue ones and let “Jesus take the wheel” in the red areas. At least until they finally figure out, the hard way, that they should leave these decisions to the medical professionals.

The poor innocent kids are going to suffer either way. But maybe my way teaches the adults faster.

Meanwhile, AWS claims to host 7,500 different US government agencies (state, fed, local).
