The title makes it seem like this is a major or systemic issue, but the article content essentially says this was a one-off, potentially a mistaken omission that was fixed within 2…

This is Amazon we’re talking about, it was probably Perl.

There is nothing in that article that mentions either devops or 40% of any team or role being cut. It doesn’t corroborate anything.

Within AWS this role falls under the Systems Engineer job family. It is not a devops role, and its involvement in events like today would be the same involvement as every other SWE…

Misunderstanding the things you are linking does not mean you proved anyone wrong.

AWS does not have dedicated devops roles. All AWS SWEs are expected to take oncall shifts and respond to incidents, manage build pipelines, etc rather than having specific devops p…

AWS doesn’t even have a “devops team” nor even any devops job roles. AWS also does not use Terraform (which is what the article says everyone was replaced with) at any significant …

> One of the benefits of Litestream 0.5.0 is that there’s now an official litestream Docker image. All of my previous Docker containers required a lot of boilerplate to download th…

Homelabbing is a hobby for most people involved in it, and like other hobbies, some people dip their toes in it while others go diving in the deep end. But would you say it’s “over…

Ahh you’re right, there are some that just initiate a connection via something like Session Manager, but those connections where AWS initiates the connection for you are logged in …

SSH is totally irrelevant here. Having AWS root account access doesn’t give you any ability to SSH to or otherwise access running instances. You could access data on those instance…

CloudTrail logs for the last 90 days are enabled by default, cannot be turned off, and are immutable, even by root. If you view this “event” as starting when Arko was supposed to h…

You can still generate the QR code in the desktop and scan it with your phone camera. The device receiving the file does not have to be the device that scans the code.

Of the big three cloud providers, only GCP uses containers for customer isolation, and they do so with the supervision of gVisor. It’s certainly possible to do container isolation …

The public land situation in the western US is vastly, vastly different from the situation in the east. Just like you’re saying comparing the US to the UK are two different situati…

Again, this isn’t at all in the scope of restic’s docs. If you’re using S3 as the storage, it’s on you to understand how S3 works and what permissions are needed, just like it’s on…

That’s because restic is not opinionated about where and how you store your backups. Restic provides a nice interface to create the backups, and then lets you choose where you want…

The pricing isn’t due to AWS. Even if you used standard S3 and paid for data retrieval for your entire backup every single month, tarsnap is over 3x the price of just using S3 your…

Your condescending appeal to emotion does nothing to change the facts. My family and I too lived through the winter storm, going multiple days without power. It doesn’t change anyt…

One of Rick Perry’s signature accomplishments as governor of Texas was that he implemented a few policies mandating the expansion of renewable energy, and also a massive initiative…

Every single state surrounding Texas was also suffering from power outages due to the winter storm in 2021, despite all of those states being part of the non-Texas interconnections…
