June 2023: a Google data center in France floods and they call it a “water intrusion event”

@capnthommo I'm pretty sure that would be a finitely time-limited exothermic reaction event.
@mkj @0xabad1dea ah yes. Of course

March 2026: an Amazon data center in the Middle East is literally struck by a fucking ballistic missile in a hot war and they call it “impacted by objects”
@0xabad1dea ok now i'm imagining the opening strike of a war being on us-east-1 -

@0xabad1dea there's a word for that in every language, and English chose "cowardice".

@0xabad1dea
Well, objects (large and explosive) DID strike the Amazon data center.
What's yer point?
(Here I'm being sarcastic.) -
@m @0xabad1dea badum *kish*!

if you want to @ me about how akshually it was probably a DRONE not a MISSILE, then no matter how good a grade you got in ballistic impact analysis, you're getting an F in The Point

@0xabad1dea ah yes, just a drone. cuddly, friendly weapons of war, they wouldn't i dunno, cause a fire like they did

@HeNeArXn @0xabad1dea FWIW we’re currently at “full recovery is still expected to be many hours away”
@slothrop @HeNeArXn @0xabad1dea latest update:
"We are expecting recovery to take at least a day, as it requires repair of facilities, cooling and power systems, coordination with local authorities, and careful assessment to ensure the safety of our operators."
yeah that's gonna take a bit

@0xabad1dea somebody accidentally deployed a J2EE application

@0xabad1dea no politics at Amazon!

@0xabad1dea The 'localised power issue' they keep going on about is presumably Iran vs Israel.
@0xabad1dea "We recommend customers enact their disaster recovery plans and recover from remote backups"
So.. not just a localised power issue then?

That's certainly a different issues from "a duck in a secure data center"

@0xabad1dea Any events of other kinds, like "rapid unscheduled disassembly", "kilo-Kelvin event", "accelerated oxidization event", "negative health alteration", "unhealthy substance ingestion", "head/body estrangement", "local high speed lead overdose", "descent into terrain" or anything else not necessarily in an advantageous direction?

@mbpaz @DaveFlater @0xabad1dea I'd be genuinely curious to know how that will work. Ballistic missiles are definitely nation-state coded in ways that truck bombs are not; but my understanding is that insurance contracts usually distinguish between 'war' other violent damage by legal status rather than delivery method.
I also think I've been told that the "Malayan Emergency" was so classified in order to try to avoid war-related insurance conditions, so it has been tried before.
@fuzzyfuzzyfungus @DaveFlater @0xabad1dea Back in 2001 right after 9/11 there was immediate relief among insurance companies when Bush appeared on TV declaring "This is an act of war". Later on, there were clarifications and they had to backtrack, but for a while, that was all they needed to refuse any claim.

@0xabad1dea How did the mansplainer die? He fell down a well, actually.....

@0xabad1dea At least OVH had the decency to call the Strasbourg fire a fire, not a thermal event.
@greem @0xabad1dea Its called Cloud upload

@Rairii We have always been at war with us-east-1.

@tony @0xabad1dea That's when they lost a *second* AZ. Several AWS services are (supposed to be) resilient to complete destruction of one AZ. If two are down they're in deeper shit.

@0xabad1dea@infosec.exchange I see a zone-name like "mec1" and I assumed it was in mecca. Looks like it was in UAE, though?
@0xabad1dea @ferricoxide I think it means "Middle East central"

@0xabad1dea Did these "objects" also "undergo rapid, premeditated disassembly"?
