I don’t want lore accurate cloud service I want biblically accurate cloud service
The lava lamps are a genius touch
Don’t forget the cutest single point of failure!!
Looks like they’ll only be the cutest SPOF for another minute or so…
I love this because of how often a squirrel would take down our remote disaster recovery site.
Can someone please keep track of the evolutionary history of these? I wanna see a timeline.
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.
So somewhere in here we need some M. C. Escher stairs of AWS on the electrical grid on AWS on the electrical grid…
And that software may or may not be very reliant on AWS
Not. Electrical Scada systems are usually airgapped from the Internet.

Naw it’s there, just hidden very well.
Haha is that him ::: spoiler at Above V8? :::
That was a fun minute!
This comm suddenly became Anarchy Chess lol
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.
lol
_new(3)gives me some flashbacks@Ek-Hou-Van-Braai okey this went too far
That’s what Microsoft is doing isn’t it? I knew it, we should have guessed with them sending a plain at the tower.
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
Mesmerized Astronaut: Wait, It’s all water?!
Rooted in reality Astronaut: Always has been.
Haha especially the angry bird is genius
