In a sane world, when #cloudflare goes down, we'd all be calling for decentralisation...
#SinglePointOfFailure
@watzmann Für mich ist #Cloudflare ein #SinglePointOfFailure wieso man sich so abhängig machen will bleibt mir ein Rätsel.
Another day, another Cloudflare outage? This is getting bad. #cloudflare #singlepointoffailure
Ah, another tech blogger who just discovered the concept of a single point of failure—groundbreaking! 🌐💥 Apparently, #Cloudflare is the new villain for taking "important" sites offline (translation: blogs with tens of monthly readers) 🕸️😂. Congratulations on mastering the art of stating the obvious! 🎓🎉

Tja, wenn sich alle auf einen Service verlassen... #singlePointOfFailure #CloudflareDown
🚨✨BREAKING: #Cloudflare is "investigating" while the internet burns to the ground! 🌐🔥 Who knew relying on a single point of failure could be so wildly entertaining? 😂🤦♂️ Stay tuned for more updates on this thrilling saga of technological bungee jumping! 🎢📉

@tinkerer @yawnbox @Mer__edith well, that's an edge-case cuz if someone expects to host a conference call on EDGE speeds they're utterly deranged.
Cementing my argument that @signalapp made themselves the #SinglePointOfFailure.
- Whereas if @monocles were to close (which they don't but lmfor the sake of example!) that wouldn't impact #eMail, @nextcloud and #XMPP+#OMEMO beyond the users having to migrate their accounts…
@derPUPE immerhin genügt der Schalter dem Prinzip #singlePointOfControl oder auch #singlepointoffailure ...
Man kann es halt sicher abschalten 😀
@anthropy nah.
I still think that relying on a #SinglePointOfFailure is bad:
Whether that #SOPF is a Raspberry Pi in a closet or overprced #GAFAM cloud is irrelevant for that matter...
- Tho sloppy self-hosting doesn't compromize others in their availability, so no, do a #CloudExit!
It's always DNS
Regarding last week's 16-hour partial AWS outage:
"In this case, the race condition resided in the DNS Enactor, a DynamoDB component that constantly updates domain lookup tables in individual AWS endpoints to optimize load balancing as conditions change."
Delays resulted in multiple DNS Enactors rewriting the same configs and deleting each other's "outdated" changes, breaking routing *and* the re-balancing process, requiring manual intervention.
I was too furious to properly hashtag the foregoing: #AWS #outage #NetworkEngineering #SystemsAnalysis #SystemsArchitecture #SinglePointOfFailure #greed #GreedyBastards #MoreMoneyThanSense
@artfulmodder last time I checked @signalapp still demanded #PII in.the form of a #PhoneNumber, still peddled the #MobileCoin #Shitcoin #Scam and didn't move out of the #Cyberfacist #USA despite #CloudAct being nothing new!
- Not to mention #Signal is both able and willing to discriminate against users based off said PII. Just because they do it for "#Sanctions #Compliance" diesn't mean they ain't gonna change that nor that @Mer__edith (or anyone else at Signal) could be bribed or threatened to do so.
They are #centralized #SingleVendor & #SingleProvider and are thus a #SinglePointOfFailure per design!
- Unlike @delta (which is #PGP/MIME in a different UI) or #XMPP+#OMEMO (which you can use via @torproject / #Tor and connect to a Server that is an #OnionService.
IMHO "memory tagging" is the least of Signal's problems. To me they stench "#ControlledOpposition" just as hard as #ANØM and incompetence as hard as #EncroChat!
Ah, yes, the thrilling saga of "Centralizing Authorization"—because clearly, decentralization was just too much fun. 🎉 Let's gather all our data eggs in one basket 🥚, and pray nothing falls, because what could possibly go wrong with a single point of failure? 🤦♂️

@dbrgn @bastibayer es ist ein "#TrustMeBro" - Modell weil deren #Server sind #zentralisiert und damit #SinglePointOfFailure.
- Anders als #XMPP+#OMEMO wo es zwar ärgerlich ist wenn @monocles oder
jabber.ccc.dedown sind, aber dies nicht die generelle Verfügbarkeit jener Lösung sicherstellt.
Ich betrachte etwas nur als #offen und #sicher wenn es komplett #dezentralisiert und ohne Möglichkeit der externen Angriffe gibt.
- Ein Standard muss auch gemeingefährliche wie inkompetente und feindliche Betreiber woe Enteickler überstehen können!
Zumal es mangels #ReproduzierbarerBuilds nicht möglich ist zu verifizieren ob der veröffentlichte #Quellcode von #Threema das ist was die per #AppStore & #GooglePlay verteilen.
- Wenn Threema in #Russland, "V.R." China, #KSA und #Indien nicht verboten ist, haben die #Govware-#Backdoors integriert!
Seriously, #CrowdStroke should've ended #Microsoft or at least #Windows for good...

@cesco_78 complimenti per la chiarezza.
A me rimane la perplessità di trasformare il cellofono in un unico gigantesco #SInglePointOfFailure, tipo, ripristinare lo #SPID è "stressante". Con la #CIE dovrebbe essere più facile.
Perché SPID e CIE non permettono l'uso di generatori #OTP "scelti da me"? (Chessò FreeOTP o altri)
#ITSME geeft geen geldig OCSP antwoord... #singlepointoffailure
@HonkHase Ich WILL meine Identität überhaupt nicht per Smartphone nachweisen/nachweisen können.
