So the big Facebook/WhatsApp/Instagram outage yesterday, found this explanation of what actually went wrong and why it took so long to fix and it’s hilarious 😆
DrDamn Fantastic. I wonder if they’ll rethink their architecture…
BritishBean unlikely to be easy to change in anything like a reasonable timescale, given the size of the operation. Even with their finances, because there just aren’t that many people around who really understand stuff like BGP.
Jonbwfc me being one 😆
They say all software comes to represent the organisation that created it. So I guess the Facebook org is a big tangled mess ready to collapse at any second. 🤣
Oh my Lord…
This is what happens when your tech reporters have arts degrees…
Luton man left shocked as his house is ‘stolen’
Gammerz Thing that blows my mind here is the reaction of the police. I fully concede there is nothing they can do on the day itself - it appears the purchaser has fully acted in good faith and with no negative actions on their part. But to say this is not a fraud?, WTF
Yeah, which part of “I did not sell my house and make myself intentionally homeless” did they not get?
Property is theft though … 😃
DrDamn But the house hasn’t actually been taken (moved).., only broken into (compare with breaking into a car vs stealing a car).
If the police cannot investigate the loss of your most expensive possession, why even bother with less expensive items?
Gammerz they changed the ownership on the land registry, so it was “stolen”.
My post was more a flippant remark related to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Property_is_theft! though.
Why doesn’t Karl Marx like Tetley?
Because proper tea is theft.
President Obama arrives at Strathclyde Uni Student Union.
The last week has been pretty weird as a Glaswegian.
I mean, I literally used to live on the next street along from there. 😂
He went to Strathclyde union? FFS. The QM is so much better.
