• My former company wouldn’t let me rearchitect our apps to be regionally redundant because “the cloud never goes down”. All their stuff is in us-east-1… wonder how they’re doing!

      • It has, and I’ve been told “it’s a fluke” or “it’s not worth the effort”, followed by them freaking out with us being down and all the money we’re losing and what can we do about it.

  • So far we’ve got atlassian and our HR system being broken. But we’re mostly CCP and azure for our dev stuff so that’s all fine.

    • 5 months

      Same here. We have some privacy stuff, so if course it’s not going into a CLOUD ACT server.

      But, we still also inexplicably use teams and outlook. Too bad those didn’t stay down.

  • Of all things, we lost some Azure services the longest. There was some unexpected dependency in our code on aws us-east-1 and the azure services didn’t recover

  • OpenVNO telephony despite us being in France.

    Also Reddit, it’s still a major work tool haha.

  • Firefox doesn’t let you use port 6000 to connect to things.

    Why?!

    Gotta change to a higher value I guess.

      • Other ports too, so it’s probably ranges.

        Back in the day you stayed out of ports under 1024 and that was it.
