#FAA has shut down ALL #flights in #USA & possibly #Canada & #Mexico (not sure, but they said #NorthAmerica so...) due to a system outage.

UPDATE for 9am EST: Systems are apparently coming back up and some flights will resume.

I wrote a post about how to set up basic Mastodon monitoring with Grafana and Prometheus, starting from scratch.

Many thanks to @nova @dma @IPngNetworks who provide lots more info and inspiration for this, you find links in my post.

Here's your irregular reminder that MFA is so much more effective against account takeovers than teaching people that 'Polar_bear65' or 'Nationalparks2014!' aren't strong enough passwords https://techcrunch.com/2023/01/10/interior-department-watchdog-passwords/

Everyone enjoys a good happy-ending aviation incident report, right? This one has some human factors stuff in it too.

Twitter suspension of the DC transit system account may well have been an unintended goof, or a software issue, but it's one more reason to stress how important it is for public agencies not to rely on the Musk-controlled, highly centralized system. What I said about why journalists should migrate off the birdsite goes for everyone else who wants to control their online destinies: https://www.techdirt.com/2023/01/04/journalists-and-others-should-leave-twitter-heres-how-they-can-get-started/
