🚨 Another massive AWS outage just took down Roblox, Fortnite, Coinbase, Snapchat, and all Supercell games.
Half the internet has gone dark because of one Big Tech company. This is not innovation, it is monopoly risk.
💡It’s time to choose alternatives.
Hey! 👋 Time to update my #introduction post!
I'm a lead platform engineer, in my late 30s (ouch), been working with #AWS technology for a solid 17 years now.
Some of my interests:
🏃🏼♂️ #running
👨🏻💻 #devops #terraform #fediverse #cloud
🎮 #nintendo #games
🌱 #climate
🇪🇺 #europe
✨ #minimalism
I run a small blog over at https://mijndertstuij.nl/
👋🏻 Hi, I’m Mark—welcome! This is my #introduction.
I’m a platform engineer pivoting from 30 years in #Perl to #Go, #Kubernetes, and #AWS. I write about systems thinking, career transitions, and production engineering at https://PhoenixTrap.com
I’m an #Objectivist—principles aren’t aspirations, they’re requirements. When reality and principle conflict, you change reality. I write about consciousness, identity, and the work of crossing the boundary between theory and practice at https://TheBeautifulPrison.com.
You’ll also see #BassGuitar, #DragonCon, #DeltaHCon, and #Comicpalooza when life permits. I self-host this Mastodon instance because decentralization matters.
For Rand newcomers, start with _The #AynRand Reader_: https://AynRand.org/novels/the-ayn-rand-reader/
Glad you’re here—pull up a chair.
I recently switched my #gotosocial storage to local from #aws and maybe a coincidence, but I'm getting "Unprocessable Entity: error processing media" errors now when trying to post images.
Anybody know why this would be?
