A classic piece from gCaptain explains why drowning so often goes unnoticed—even in crowded places—and the subtle warning signs most people miss. Required reading for anyone heading out on the water. “Drowning Doesn’t Look Like Drowning” gcaptain.com/drowning/

AWS, is collecting my email address for the thousandth time for marketing emails really worth making it hard to find a livestream link for your webinars? Why not just... livestream without obligation?

@USCPSC Feels like a good time to bring this up again -- don't burn your house down while deep-frying a turkey!

Cook the turkey, not your home.

If a service dog approaches you alone, follow it; its person might need help and the dog is trying to lead you there. I miss old Twitter, but I guess I'll still occasionally tweet these helpful tips to keep my account alive, just in case.

USians: Have you moved or changed your name? You'll need to re-register to vote. Does your state require a specific form of ID to vote? You'll need that to be current. Some states remove you without notice if a piece of mail bounces. Check your status at usa.gov/confirm-voter-…

No newspaper article, television documentary, news report or book will ever be able to make the incredible, unbelievable inadequacy of Donald Trump as clear as this short clip does.

If you're worried about a nearby wildfire, realize that the satellites that detect fires might only pass over a given spot every several hours at most. The red dots you see could be showing where the fire was many hours ago, so be sure to also check local official sources.

@DAlperovitch Moscow is silent.

James Cameron made a whole ass movie so y’all wouldn’t have to do this

I guess the new management is threatening to delete people who don't provide content, so here I am, just in case. I'd hate to lose access, since I do periodically check in on a few people who haven't moved.

I feel like I should tweet once in a while because the new management might abruptly delete nontweeters, and I still have faint hope. So here's why you don't throw water on a kitchen oil fire!

@donkersgood They changed how it works since last year, breaking my script! I am outraged :-)!

You know #AWS re:Invent is getting real when you're writing scripts to convert the AWS What's New feed to Excel 😅 #awsreinvent #reInvent2022

@forrestbrazeal @jt7d@mastodon.social @jt7d@awscommunity.social Yup, two for now, and maybe even long term. I've enjoyed Twitter so much, cloud folks and not, and I'm really glad to see this thread. Love you all, and I'll see you on the other side!

If you do anything with cloud, infra, security, etc - I’d love to keep up with you. Can you reply to this tweet with your blog / GitHub / Substack / whatever is the next best place to follow you if and when this site stops refreshing?

@MosquitoCapital ...at 4am. She says, eyes sliding sideways to the clock.

9) The site goes dark at 4am. The oncalls have no idea what's wrong. You *need* an IMOC (Incident Manager On Call) who knows who to wake up, why, and how. Someone who understands your systems, can synthesize information at lightning speed, and coordinate a recovery effort.

I've seen a lot of people asking "why does everyone think Twitter is doomed?" As an SRE and sysadmin with 10+ years of industry experience, I wanted to write up a few scenarios that are real threats to the integrity of the bird site over the coming weeks.

It's time for a thread on why Twitter hasn't gone down yet 🧵

@rahulpathak @rakyll I swear, the last tweet ever on this site will be from you, offering to help someone :).

@rakyll Drop me a line anytime at rapathak@amazon.com and happy to answer any questions :)

Is anyone using Amazon Aurora Serverless or Google Cloud's AlloyDB? How do they deal with unpredictable load, how easy is it to monitor capacity, how reasonably are their limitations documented?

@esh @GrumpyPlatform It does work; I've triggered a CodeBuild project that runs some shell commands from Scheduler. But it looks like a Universal Target can target CreateStack directly, although I haven't tried that yet!
