AWS, Microsoft Azure, and CloudFlare – services run by gigantic corporations with endless supply of money and talent – all experience catastrophic, global failures that take innumerable other services down with them within 30 days. :blob0w0: Meanwhile Wikipedia just keeps chugging along, globally stable and reliable as always. :blobcatlove: #SysAdmin #CloudFlare #AWS #Azure #Wikipedia

Randomly thinking of that glorious moment in time over four years ago when @jz made a poll with three options: R, G, B, and fedi collectively created a color: Fédi-vert.https://mamot.fr/@jz/106002949694434169#Fediverse

RE: https://kolektiva.social/@alissaazar/115781985482592177It's almost as if Bluesky was a Silicon Valley VC-funded startup, with Blockchain Capital among its biggest investors, and thus has to make "difficult decisions" to get that hockey-stick growth and chase the ROI.And... fascism is on the up-and-up in the land of opportunity.Reminder that ATproto "ecosystem" is still not meaningfully decentralized – Blacksky users who get blocked on Bluesky learn they can't access their own posts even on Blacksky:https://plus.flux.community/p/banning-controversy-reveals-blueskys#Bluesky

Oh dear lord, what a pile of bull!> I think we should be concerned about systems that can perform all of the functions that humans perform to get things done in the world, but betterIf any such systems existed, or were even remotely close to existing, we could talk about being concerned.But as it stands this is like being "concerned" about sharks with lasers attached to their heads. Sure, I can *imagine* them, some might even want them, but that does not make them real.Pure hype BS. 🤡

RE: https://mstdn.social/@rysiek/115842927683638628Actually… Anyone else is being rate-limited on GitHub for completely normal browsing behavior lately?If so, please hit me up. If this is a wider issue, I might see if I can delve a bit into it. :blobcatcoffee: #Microsoft #GitHub

1. click on a GitHub issue link in my search results2. click on a pull request link in that issue comment thread3. ???4. PROFIT!1!!These were the only two actions related to GitHub originating from my IP address over the last several hours.This is bullshit.I am going to bet the rate limits got bumped due to LLM scraping. Fscking clowns. 🤡 GitHub is not a serious code foundry.Microso^WMicroslop is not a serious company.#Microsoft #GitHub #MicroSlop

Microsoft renamed the whole Office suite to Copilot. 🤣 Please bear in mind that calling "AI" output "slop" makes Satya Nadella sad. Under no circumstances should you call their office suite "Microslop Slopilot". That would just be mean and you're better than that.*) Copilot might not be your favorite app.#Microsoft #AI #Slop #Microslop

It is absolutely *wild* to me that media organizations still do not put RSS/Atom :rss: feed info front-and-center on their websites.One needs to dive into HTML code or use external tools to discover their feeds.It is wild because this is one of the easiest, least-effort ways to reach their audience. Encouraging RSS/Atom use is a phenomenal way of becoming less reliant on gatekeepers like huge social media platforms.Come on! :angrycat:

New blogpost: AI will compromise your cybersecurity posturehttps://rys.io/en/181.htmlThe way “AI” is going to compromise your cybersecurity is not through some magical autonomous exploitation by a singularity from the outside, but by being the poorly engineered, shoddily integrated, exploitable weak point you would not have otherwise had on the inside.LLM-based systems are insanely complex. And complexity has real cost and introduces very real risk.1/🧵#AI #InfoSec

Oh, forgot to add – yes, I do have receipts for all of this. :blobcatcoffee:There is plenty of proof in the blogpost pudding in the form of links to specific sources.As opposed to the AI hypers and AI doomers I show and substantiate my work. :blobcatfingerguns:

Dziś w #OkoPress piszę o Microslop Slopilocie i smutku szefa giganta z Redmond w związku z używaniem słowa "slop" ("breja") na wydzieliny generatywnej sztucznej inteligencji:https://oko.press/microsoft-czy-microslop-jak-gigant-z-usa-potyka-sie-o-aiZgodnie z opublikowanym w grudniu 2025 r. raportem Instratu pt. „Zamówienia na pozór otwarte” 99% zamówień publicznych na oprogramowanie w Polsce wyklucza jakąkolwiek konkurencję wobec Microsoftu.🧵#Microsoft #Microslop #Polska

Wow politicians seem pretty eager to ban/block Xitter on national level.But somehow they don't seem to be inclined to do the way easier thing and just close their accounts there? 👀 Interesting. :thaenkin:

Just to be clear, fsck Xitter with a 🌵. That Nazi bar needs to die.But something tells me the eagerness for banning Xitter is not about Xitter, nor the #AISAM (AI-generated Sexual Abuse Materials) on it. It's about power, specifically power to block services politicians dislike.In many places they already have that power of course (UK, for example), but this is a high profile case where blocking is very popular. It's a flex.If they were serious about the harms, they'd simply quit Xitter.

Can someone explain to me why people keep talking about male sheep from Eastern Germany?Apparently everyone wants them and there's not enough to go around?This is so weirdly specific. Why is a DDR ram is so distinctly desirable suddenly?

Dziś w #OkoPress pytam polską klasę polityczną o to, co musiałby Grok zrobić, by wreszcie z Xittera zrezygnowalihttps://oko.press/polskie-instytucje-wspieraja-platforme-zarabiajaca-na-rozneglizowanych-deep-fakeach-dzieciPlatforma X nie tylko pozwala na dezinformację, ale za nią płaci. System moderacji został rozmontowany, hejt się szerzy. Grok wychwalał Hitlera i wciąż pozwala na generowanie seksualnie sugestywnych zdjęć konkretnych osób, w tym małoletnich, bez ich zgody.Polscy politycy i instytucje nadal ją wspierają – swoją obecnością, a często i finansowo.🧵#Polska

If I didn't already have too many dumb domain names for projects I will never actually do, I would probably be buying "isoopenaiprofitableyet.com" just to put a huge "No." there.That'd be an evergreen website.
