You didn’t notice a block of #mastodon instances go dark yesterday with the outage of a major European backbone host provider (OVH) because the #fediverse is so distributed and decentralized. But if you’ve got a flight in the USA today then you know exactly what happens when a centralized software service goes down. #FAA

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/

Just throwing this out there, as unlikely as it probably is: Does anyone have any issues of MacWeek from late 1993? I need a scan of the November 29th issue, sadly it’s not on the Internet Archive.
@rcarmo yes but it would have been called RaaRaaSsssscript and, due to their short arms, it would have been a completely Untyped language.

“If I had a dollar for every time a Canadian flight crew ran out of fuel partly thanks to their own errors and then made an amazing gliding landing, I would have two dollars. Which isn’t a lot, but it’s weird it’s happened twice.” - /u/Xi_Highping on reddit
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/
