<m​cneb10:envs.net> it seems that pokkst has dipped

strawberry:monero.social: I've been calling it for so many years now. You centralize yourself on Cloudflare, and you don't even need to get DDoS'd in order to be taken down. An attacker can just find the most bloated website, target that, and boom! Every website that's behind Cloudflare goes offline in 1 shot!

Similar to how it went with CrowdStrike.

1 faulty update, and every airport, every store, every office, and so on gets a BSOD all at once.

When I saw that news, all I was thinking was "I told you so!".

that goes for anything centralized on one sort of software, even if the implementation is decentralized

That's my point exactly!

Normies will always tell me how software is going forwards, and I always argue that software is actually going backwards.

multiple projects following an RFC is a good way of failproofing though

SOME software is going forwards.

matrix is a good example

Not the proprietary ones.

It's getting more and more bloated, more and more centralized, more and more SaaS'd, more and more buggy, and it takes developers more and more time to make, despite all the tools, resources, and hardware available.

Matrix is just a more buggy and bloated re-implementation of XMPP.

Or rather, XMPP for Discord users.

remiliascarlet: yeah, but matrix is a rfc/idea, not a software set, so anyone is free to implement it themselves

YES

as opposed to someone pushing a faulty patch to nginx upstream. half the internet would implode into its own anus. Less likely to happen with an opensource project though

I think SOME software is progressing, but the corporate-led - no.

remiliascarlet: continue speaking, my pain get's less :D

funnily enough, my employer was thinking about migrating to hyper-v on our AWS, im pretty sure the crowdstrike debacle stopped that thought dead in its tracks

vthor: Maybe at a later time, it's almost 1 am now.

i'm a bit biased though, i am a developer in the Linux/k8 team

remiliascarlet: have a good night! :)

<s​tarlingfarchecker:monero.social> I've been reading about the black panther party

<s​tarlingfarchecker:monero.social> I sent a pdf of a book, hopefully ya'll would take some inspiration on how to defeat american imperialism and, by extension, the oppressive monetary system

<s​tarlingfarchecker:monero.social> I remember learning about it in highschool but it was presented as "oh these groups of people were very violent and revolutionary" without much analysis. Learning more about them, i think we can take a page or two from their book
