Discord Incident

Times like this make me miss the IRC days, I was just able to reproduce a bug in an semi-open-source project, and Discord went down right in the middle of me sending my findings. Now there's nothing I can do about it. I can only wait.

I mean, when freenet would go down it was more or less the same thing, no?
Analemma_•27m ago
How would that have been different in the IRC days?
omoikane•16m ago
There would have been a server split, and half of the people would be chatting among themselves wondering why the some people suddenly got disconnected, while being unaware that there might be a server problem because they can still continue to chat. The other half of the people would think the same.
StableAlkyne•13m ago
Don't forget everyone flooding both halves with "z0mg net split!"

:P

It's not a novel opinion but I'm tired of things being fucked all the time.

It's gonna get a lot worse with all the AI slopcode that is about to be pushed directly to production.
majorchord•15m ago
You mean all the AI "slop" that's finding and writing new kernel exploits every day? And submitting hundreds of previously-unknown security bugs in critical software?

What are you saying here? An LLM helped humans do something right once therefore it's perfect to use in every other situation too?
dakolli•5m ago
llms aren't doing any of that. Some smart people are using llms find those vulns, there's a huge difference.

Isn't consolidation great.

I keep second guessing whether or not to mention Uproar here out of fear we'll get roasted, because it's still got its blemishes, but here goes: https://uproar.chat

We're hoping to do better than discord, hopefully you get some use from it!

Backend is written in go, frontend is vanilla html/js/css, TOS and PP are readable in one breath each.

edit: looks like nobody can see this unless it's vouched. I guess because of the link and VPN.

It was one AZ. Kinda surprised those guys are built in a way where a single AZ failure takes them down.
