It’s missing a Saddam Hussein hideout
Naw it’s there, just hidden very well.
Haha is that him ::: spoiler at Above V8? :::
Omg it does look like it doesn’t it!? :-P
That was a fun minute!
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.
Power company engineer here, it’s true that a lot of our supporting and analytics software went down during the AWS event.
However, most devices that actually control grid units (called bulk electric system cyber-assets) are air-gapped or utilize a data diode.
FERC Reliability Standards and NERC CIP
However-er, flipping through those standards just now, turns out it’s 100% permitted to connect your “bulk electric system cyber-asset” to a cloud integration if done compliantly.
The process to decide to turn power plants on and off isn’t air-gaped.
Hell yea, time for cycles in the graph!
And that software may or may not be very reliant on AWS
Not. Electrical Scada systems are usually airgapped from the Internet.
So somewhere in here we need some M. C. Escher stairs of AWS on the electrical grid on AWS on the electrical grid…
Don’t forget the cutest single point of failure!!
I love this because of how often a squirrel would take down our remote disaster recovery site.
Looks like they’ll only be the cutest SPOF for another minute or so…
Relax, it is USB C and only a small charger, this is only 20v max, and changes are high that CC lines are the ones severed first, resulting power supply to turn of Vbus or at least downgrade to V5SAFE.
I don’t want lore accurate cloud service I want biblically accurate cloud service
i’m afraid, is that a problem?
So you have chosen to blatantly sin in its presence? Bold maneuver… and ultimately unsurvivable. Roll for chance of mercy, then multiply by
0.00%to determine your odds of surviving this encounter.
Can someone please keep track of the evolutionary history of these? I wanna see a timeline.
The lava lamps are a genius touch
Can someone ELI5 the c dynamic arrays - how does this fit into the infrastructure?
There is a huge amount of C code underlying most things, including the Linux kernel, most compilers, the Python interpreter, etc. At the same time, C doesn’t have dynamic arrays as a built in type but they are often critical to the operation of all of those. So, C developers keep implementing them in specialized ways for all of their applications.
Thanks, I can now enjoy the meme to it’s full extent again.
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 domain 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.
Usenet is still in use btw. And so is Nostr.
Imagine, we could kill all NAT/DNS/(reverse)proxy routing problems by adapting finally to IPv6
I don’t only run a reverse proxy because of having only a single public IPv4 address, but that probably is the best part
In general, I’d say reverse proxies make things somewhat easier to manage, especially when it comes to TLS. No need for every service to integrate it.
We arrivied thus at the funny moment where meme is accurate enough to be used for educational purposes.
Look how little has to fail for whole web to decay, child xD
lol
_new(3)gives me some flashbacksEarth: 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
Can we please not make the layer above Electricity look like tombstones? I looked at “Linus Torvalds” and almost had a heart attack!
What a horrible title. Maybe it’s time to start using git
Or Fossil😅😅.
For those people wondering, it’s an alternative to GIT created by SQLite devs. In fact their HomePage is actually a self-hosted Fossil repository
My child, you are beautiful.
This comm suddenly became Anarchy Chess lol
