oh no, that’s so horrible… 🤣
Well, didnt musk and suckerberg get enlisted in the military for some bs reason for pentagon access?
Not them, four other C-suites: https://www.npr.org/2025/07/03/1255164460/1a-army-07-03-2025
But I haven’t heard anything else about it. They wouldn’t need it for any access, either, civilians are granted access for various things all the time.
To the front of the line!
If that happened, there is truly a god.
Well…we’re waiting!
I only feel bad for all the sysadmins who will get woken up because of this
I make comments to the effect of that article, and I still get replies like ‘gotta eat somehow’.
Yeah, x2, Fuck’ em.
I could have made more money working for an evil company as a sysadmin.
You know what I did?
I made less money working for a considerably less evil Non Profit that helped homeless people, instead.
Fuck 'em.
Please Iran, you have very correctly identified critical components of the US intelligence system, which spies domestically and internationally.
please do
American here. Can someone start a go fund me for Iran, on the condition that participants are allowed to attend an exclusive event for the live tar and feathering of Zuck the Cuck and Peter Theil? We could probably raise more money than the tech bros have.
You have strange euphemisms for “violent, public execution”
I love this idea!! ❤️
Iran just might save humanity.
Americans sure as hell aren’t
we need to be saved from Americans. Very difficult for Americans to understand that they are now the baddies.
Decades of brainwashing.
Oh trust me, we know it. Its a minority of Americans cheering this on.
Great, then it should be no problem for your to get off your asses and deal with this small group of Americans. Unless, you know, you’re a bunch of goddamn cowards?
It’s easy to sit behind a keyboard and tell someone else to go put their life on the line for a cause.
Almost as easy as disingenuously dining out on your national legacy of “give me liberty of give me death” and “saving the world from fascists” for a century or two.
“Keyboard warrior” lines coming from Americans who claim to be “the resistance” in 2026 are clown shit. You’re a MAGA enabler and you’re part of the problem.
Considering how much they have that’s unlikely…
If I made $1000 an hour and worked every hour of a year it would take me ~114 years to earn $1B, that is how fucking large a billion. is. People cannot fathom how much money $1B is.
“President Trump is not worried”
Welp, I’m satisfied, how about you? /s
What if Iran ends up breaking the backs of corporate America? As an American, I’m not against that…
What a time to be alive!
God, don’t tease me!
I want this war to end as soon as possible, but is this a surprise?
They’re taking on hundreds of millions from the Pentagon, they are military contractors.
I do not think bombing data centers will result in more than sporadic regional service disruptions though. Data will just get routed through other regions and increase latency. That’s what the internet was invented for and AWS + Google run multi zone clouds.
It’s yet to be seen if Iranian hackers can deal any real damage to these companies.
They’ve already done damage to a us company. Check out Stryker and the stock price. 2 days of no production worldwide.
I hadn’t heard about this
The reality is that these multi region “clouds” are not nearly as resilient as they seem, and applications that have built on top of then even less so.
Everything runs on us-east-1 lol
There are at least two services I know of off the top of my head that rely on us-east-1, so even if you are using them in another region if us-east-1 goes down, so does that service in all regions (and so does your app)
IAM and Route53?
Bingo.
I’m far from an expert, but it seems like if one cloud node goes down, pay hackers to slam everything with bot traffic and the system is brought to its knees.
Correct. Plus it may not be as resilient as we think. Just because they’re billion dollar companies doesn’t mean they don’t follow the tradition of building systems with duct tape and a prayer.
In the age of MBA management, the removal of resilience such as fallback systems because “they’re doing nothing” is the norm.
Nowadays Engineering stuff isn’t done according to Engineering Principles if it conflicts with short term profit maximization.
Also even if the digital infrastructure is resilient, what about the physical infrastructure? A couple sticks of Nobels great invention and viola there’s now a gaping hole in your power transmission infrastructure or in the building itself if access can be achieved.
Not to mention the diminished teams who are now under resourced to handle their existing workloads. I’m sure they will do great as things spiral because the sloppy work of the AI has increased their workload, not reduced it. As the cracks begin to form on the human side of things, nothing could possibly go wrong. After all, the human element of any system is often the most secure. /s
You just triggered an old memory. Back when I was like 7 I remember watching some type of military debate on some type of public access thing, I think it was military historians and active duty guys talking about military communication over history interesting shit. Anyways something they say that’s kinda stuck with me was the worry of degrading autonomy within the military due to ever increasing ever improving communication capabilities and how it may get to the point that units become effectively headless should communications be disrupted.
So what happens when leadership becomes reliant on AI tools and the data centers become inoperable? Because frankly that may be an actual worry sooner than later, or advantage depending on the longevity of the federal government.
Having worked in several large public clouds, I will always keep a local backup of my cloud data even if I am snapshotting it and even if I’m using geographic replication. Too easy for a misunderstanding or a bug to result in all my stuff getting deleted.
Oh, no! Not Meta! Or Oracle! Or umm, Palantir! Or… guys, help me here.
Not OpenAI, please! Do not attack the servers! Save the ram first!
Quick! Send them the coordinates of all those datacenters so they can avoid them!
But which ones, there are so many. They need to know exactly which ones to avoid!
X should not be on the list to target!
X marks the spot!
Please not Palantir! Who will use WiFi to reconstruct a collection of 3D models of me pooping?
Are we bidding on this offer? How we doing this?
The death prediction market!
Why bother with microslop, they just gave to be a bit patient and wait for the weekly ground zero updates 😄
