I said “if AWS US-EAST-1 goes down, you are going to know” during my presentation Saturday with @3ncr1pt3d.bsky.social at @hackfest.bsky.social on Critical Infrastructure risks.
Outages like this which expose unknown dependencies will be increasingly common in the future

I will be at #atlseccon presenting "Do You Want to Play a Game? How About Disabling Civilization?" with @3ncr1pt3d.bsky.social!
Our talk is about risks in our Internet-is-required world & the critical infrastructure we rely on. Learn how easily it can all be broken & some mitigation strategies.

I've yet to find a mainstream story on the net neutrality ruling that mentions U.S. broadband is a failed market dominated by entrenched regional monopolies pampered by corrupt state and local governments
it's like that essential part of the story isn't of interest to them

Net neutrality is struck, ending a long battle to regulate ISPs like public utilities
A U.S. Court of Appeals this week ruled that the FCC did not have legal authority to revive the so-called net neutrality rules that were first introduced a decade ago under the Obama Administration.

It’s important to understand that this is the way all capitalists think about all the “little people” they exploit; this one is just saying it with no filter, which happens every now and then with people who have become accustomed to thinking of their fellow human beings as food.

This last year (post-Covid) my brain has not been working the best. Felt like a lot of “fog of war” happening — limited task/project visibility beyond what was immediately in front of me, usually. Got a recent ADHD diagnosis & meds & now I can sometimes see through the fog.
So that is something.
