Focus on your mental and physical health. Your relationships especially family. And work on things that challenge your mind, if nothing does currently that’s ok something will peak your interest again, no pressure, in the mean time work on being the healthiest you can physically, that has a way of making sure other things fall into place.
Re:Issues with upstream DNS provider on Tuesday August 23, 2022 @09:54PM (#32574118)
Yes, this worked for me...I was trying to do this right away, but I was missing a way to find historical DNS, thank you!!

Same...makes me want to move forward with my costly DR plan.
Re:Tell HN: Heroku is having DNS issues on Tuesday August 23, 2022 @08:21PM (#32573435)
My app is down as well. My DNS is in Cloudflare, but currently pointed at a Heroku CNAME.... I was hoping I could point it directly to an IP if I knew the underlying AWS LB service IP, but they do not expose it.

Everytime AWS goes down I have to remind people, it always goes down. Diversify your sh*t or be exploited and unavailable. http://tuxlabs.com/?p=430 wrote about in 2016, beware of the centralization.
Re:AWS Having Trouble Again on Wednesday November 25, 2020 @01:05PM (#25212175)
So AWS is having trouble again. I am a huge public cloud advocate, BUT if you don't diversify not just with other public clouds, but with on-premise as well you are asking for it.

In 2016, I wrote about this on my blog http://tuxlabs.com/?p=430 it's not just availability people should worry about.

Valid. I dreamed of where I am today. Living it doesn't feel like it was your dream, but remember how bad you wanted it when you were a teanager and appreciate where you are now and how far you have come. Great to reflect.
AWS in 2012, DynDNS after that, now Cloudflare...I wrote about this a few years ago, the threat of the singularity of the Internet. What was distributed will be centralized again. http://tuxlabs.com/?p=430

Re:Summary of the Amazon S3 Service Disruption on Thursday March 02, 2017 @02:46PM (#13777536)
I think they should have led with insensitivity about it and maybe a white lie. Such as... We took our main region us-east-1 down for X hours because we wanted to remind people they need to design for failure of a region :-)
