I know it’s not exactly the point but like… Someone just rented an excavator and… drove it to the White House? And someone else said “Great, the excavator’s here” and was like “Just rip down that wall, don’t worry about the windows or anything, just maximum ripping please.”

@adele well said... this is a problem that no one seems to have the will to address (I'm referring to our governements).
It's a shame that the internet has become a battlefield, but we will stand firm and we will take it back.

I don't want to react to the AWS breakdown (even if this toot looks like that).
Telling that you should use a different service, your own server, or whatever to avoid a breakdown is stupid. All solutions are subject to breakdown and AWS isn't the worst.

Yesterday's problem just shows the hegemony of AWS (and other Big Tech actors), even for non-American structures. It should just make us aware that a unilateral decision by the United States could harm any country without military intervention.

It's time to dig up a post from the beginning of the year:

it's genuinely funny that huge swaths of the internet went down today and Mastodon is just sitting here like a cockroach nibbling on an old sandwich like nothing happened.

For the incoming message.casa mailbox hosting (see https://social.pollux.casa/@adele/statuses/01K7J5JX8JHSPNE8RMPQT9J8RT ), I plan to use a different character for the "plus addressing".

pseudo+amazon@message.casa is too easy to break by email address scrappers. They remove the + and the following before selling your address.

I would like to use a different character, but this one could not be present in the main pseudo to avoid naming conflict.

first.lastname-amazon@message.casa if I set the dash as separator (but no dash in the pseudo).

first-lastname.amazon@message.casa if I set the dot as separator (but no dot in the pseudo)

I don't know which is the best option 🤔

“signals a potential split of the Chinese-owned, Netherlands-based company’s operations after the Dutch government this month took management control of the chipmaker.

The seizure came after Washington warned that Nexperia would not be removed from its export control list if its Chinese chief executive remained in charge. In response, Beijing blocked most of the chipmaker’s final products from leaving China.”
