    Not to spread concern or anything, but the electrical grid is managed and controlled by software. And that software may or may not be very reliant on AWS. I’m probably not allowed to say more than that.

    In all seriousness though, the core of the technical stack has become very robust in my opinion (DNS being the exception). From a hobbyist’s perspective, things work much better than when the Web was still young. I can run multiple sites (some of them being what are today called apps) on a donation with subdomains, everything fast, HTTP3-capable, secured via valid free TLS certs, reverse proxied, all of that running on a system deployed in minutes…

    If you focus on the part of the Internet that you have control over, it’s a lot better than back in the simple days.

        I don’t only run a reverse proxy because of having only a single public IPv4 address, but that probably is the best part

        In general, I’d say reverse proxies make things somewhat easier to manage, especially when it comes to TLS. No need for every service to integrate it.

      I can only assume this (copy-pasted from wikipedia)

      The C Programming Language (sometimes termed K&R, after its authors’ initials) is a computer programming book written by Brian Kernighan and Dennis Ritchie, the latter of whom originally designed and implemented the C programming language, as well as co-designed the Unix operating system with which development of the language was closely intertwined

        I can confirm, K&R is the book written by Kernighan and Ritchie. It is/was the Bible of the C language.

        Amazon link if you’re interested in the reviews.

        K&R book is great! When you’re done with that I highly recommend you move on to “Modern C” by Jens Gustedt. It’s available for free online or in print. Brought my C knowledge up to date with all the cool stuff C23 has in it. Jens’ blog is a great resource as well.

        Edit: typo

      A company abused their clout to steal ownership of an npm package from it’s FOSS developer. Because NPM was complicit in the theft, the maintainer deleted all their packages and abandoned NPM. One of those was left-pad, which was used by tons of other major projects, which could no longer be built. NPM then restored left-pad against it’s owners wishes and handed control to another corporate shill.

    Earth: layer below electricity, melting and disintegrating

    Elon Musk: boring through Earth and strapping hopelessly tiny, exploding rockets to the “Electricity” block to get everything to Mars

    Sun: lowermost layer but extending a fist labeled “2027 solar flare” at internet infrastructure

    Can we please not make the layer above Electricity look like tombstones? I looked at “Linus Torvalds” and almost had a heart attack!

      I mean, thoughts on nuclear waste? They certainly need management, and I dunno if humans are good at waste management.

        I think we don’t really have problems with nuclear waste management right now, at least i think in europe, idk about America or Asia so please tell me if i am wrong.

            Waste never disappear, it just get transformed in something else.

            Paper? Can be recycled to be more paper or burned to be ashes and gas

            Radioactive waste? Eventually it became lead, just in a long time, anyway, this was just to make you know that waste don’t “disappear” like magic.

            Radioactive waste can be repurposed, at least, for the majority of it, in the other cases where it can’t be repurposed they try to get as much as they can from the waste(making it also less risky to manage overall) and enclosed in a reinforced concrete cage in a earthquake-safe area, in something like 50~ years it became almosts safe and can be managed again

          We do have one in Germany. While we are searching for suitable long term storage, the barrels are rusting away in salt mines.
