Please tell me more about The Great Oops
It's inevitable that one of the major cloud providers will irrecoverably delete all customer data with one single fat-fingered command. Though in google's case I'll also consider the prophecy to be fulfilled if they delete their own data. It will forever be known as The Great Oops.

#55Good thing I have nebula.tv for when youtube breaks

There's at least five free ACME CAs, with failover it doesn't matter all that much if one of them falls over. If all of them fall over at once there's probably a more pressing issue like nuclear holocaust or alien invasion going on.
