@aktivismoEstasMiaLuo #AWS is a bad procurement choice, but it's just commodity hosting, not a software dependency. If you dig a bit you'll find that most of the fediverse is ultimately hosted on AWS, as are #Signal, #Wire, and if I remember rightly, #Matrix.org. I'm pretty sure this isn't the worst thing about any given service, Reddit included.

#AWS business model: charge people for stuff they forgot they are using.

Oh, look, if you want them to tell you ahead of time that you're going to go over-budget, they also sell that service.

This is a powerful insight. To the degree that a software system requires servers (as the #fediverse does in its current form), the simpler those servers are to set up and maintain, the more people will tend to do it, and the less power over the system will tend to concentrate in the hands of a cadre of expert sysadmins. There is a deeper layer to this too, in that the ability to provision the #VPS most people use for fediverse instances in currently centralized about a few vendors (eg #AWS).

Either this is a piece of propaganda, not journalism, or this "technology reporter" knows sod all about this technology. Prior to AWS, most companies (or other groups) had no need for "big servers". A consumer-grade desktop running GNU/Linux was adequate for most uses. Anything more could be leased from an ISP. What #AWS changed was the pay-per-use pricing model.

As if we needed another reason not to use or recommend #AWS. It's high time for every "ethical" tech company, #PlatformCooperative, #SocialEnterprise etc, to move to commodity hosting, or reveal themselves as a non-voting subsidiary of the #Amazone.

RT @sebnozzi@twitter.com How to debug an error in an AWS lambda function call?

In most programming languages: post-mortem, with lots of logging.

In Smalltalk: persist the execution context, download it, debug it locally. Magic! :-)

We forgot to expire the domains of some of our development servers, so our manager got a little confused as to why our dev servers were serving a 404 not found page from the BBC. That's because we're both hosted on #AWS. This isn't the first time this has happened.

The internet is a wacky place, and it's all in #Amazon's backyard.

Don't you hate it when you spin up a new #EC2 instance in #AWS and the first thing your #MSWindows2019 server does is look for updates? The whole instance is #unusable for the first few hours due to #TIWorker looking to update a brand new system.

2 use #AWS #CLI via #2FA I need 2 use my credentials & request a new set of ACCESS KEYS+TOKEN using my #MFA code, can't do this manually every time, so I created a #bashrc fun 2 set the VARs, do you think this can be enhanced? cc @freebsdfrau@twitter.com @romanzolotarev@twitter.com @nixcraft@twitter.com
