So Roblox is the only of those companies that can handle proper region failover if us-east-1 shits the bed? You young ops have gotten soft! Learn to live by ChaosMonkey or die by the Gorilla.

Either that, or the reports stopped coming in since it’s a school day.
I think they’re the only ones doing multi-cloud. If us-east-1 shits the bed, it’s a bad day for AWS in general.
Roblox doesn’t really lock down regions unless they are China. The game client can connect to any server they own. It naturally falls back to the server with the least issues without prompts and intervention. If for an even bigger example all US servers were to go offline, the client automatically redirects people to either Europe or Asia based on ping.
Maybe it was a bad idea for society to put 90% of the internet on one company’s infrastructure.
Let’s take a decentralized network and centalize it! Nothing will surely go wrong.
Hey! Great idea! Let’s make all of the internet rely on one service from one evil company! What could go wrong?
Figma balls wheeeyyyy
It seems that there is not a single original thought in that head of mine.
doesn’t matter bro, they’re your thoughts and that’s what makes them awesome 😊
Alright…
crushes your balls with ginger root which makes them burn
…and I did not even notice it, aside from the news here.
It really shows what a great life that we on the Fediverse are living, by making our tech independent to a degree from the largest tech providers.
I am grateful that my past me (from few months ago) decided to study Slavic philology, instead of getting stupid tech job. I hate modern tech, including anything from big corporations.
I am also glad that I’ve switched to Linux (Debian ftw) to escape software enshittification.
It’s not a full escape, just a path to escape.
I’d argue you cna never fully escape the problem of enshittification, unless you produce and maintain everything you use by yourself. Given how much of what we need today requires specialist labour and how impossible it is to be a specialist in everything, chances are you’d be trading enshittification for plain shit.
But using Debian at least shuts down one source of enshittification. Just because perfection can’t ever fully be attained is no reason not to try and get as close as you can.

figma ballz hahaha gotem
Edit: ohh noooo I just saw PhobosAnomaly’s post, I am so slow
Shit, none of my websites are slow. Fuck Amazon
Diversity is a strength when things go bad.
I’m okay to blame bozos.

Time for open source Amazon app alternatives to be made. Made a post on OpenSource with suggestions on how to do it and how it can help open source communities: KDE, GNU/Linux, etc can each make their own and use their profits for their own and other open source projects. A passive income if you will from making, and managing the app that displays products from various partnered stores and websites
For some context, the issue was affecting AWS or Amazon Web Services, which is hosting for those other services (or parts of them), not an amazon app issue cascading to other services.
And I don’t think an open source amazon app would work. Amazon is a lot more than just a webstore. They’ve got a massive logistics network plus warehouses and packing plants. I feel like an open source version of amazon’s store would end up avoiding the corporate shit but would have all the negatives of amazon store without many of the positives.
Are any lemmy instances run on aws? Been getting a lot less articles last couple days
Maybe the bots are run by AWS
I’d be surprised if none are run in AWS.
Heh. Say what you will about Roblox (plenty of stuff), but seems like their infrastructure is on lock.
OOWHUUH
