One of the huge perks of working at a software company is, when there's something about the product that bothers you personally, you can get your hands dirty and find out why it's basically impossible to get fixed

📣THREAD: It’s surprising to me that so many people were surprised to learn that Signal runs partly on AWS (something we can do because we use encryption to make sure no one but you–not AWS, not Signal, not anyone–can access your comms).
It’s also concerning. 1/

PSA: we're aware that Signal is down for some people. This appears to be related to a major AWS outage. Stand by.

The systems that are very reliable scare me the most, because I worry that if something ever goes wrong with them, nobody will have experience with how to fix them.

Mr. Bond, I have strategically deployed several unlicensed instances of Oracle Database 19c to the infrastructure of every Five Eyes member state.
In exactly one hour I shall be notifying Oracle's legal department of these events.
I suggest you sit back and relax, Mr. Bond.
Enjoy the show.

My thoughts on recent events:
Jesse Singal is a litmus test: are moderates welcome, even if they openly and persistently disagree with leftists? Are threats and harassment from left to right okay?Bluesky passed, and I doubt the userbase will ever forgive the site for it.

With BlueSky finally opening up federation, I think it's time to write up something that explains the whole thing, BlueSky, atproto, the works, in one easy to find place. Just the high level bits, hopefully something that any developer can understand: steveklabnik.com/writing/how-...
