Urgent: the Chinese spy ballon has come to a stop over Virginia

Whoops. I got suspended from Twitter for doxing the real-time assassination coordinates of the Chinese spy balloon.

Authorities increasingly concerned that Chinese balloon may drop counterfeit SD cards around the country, with less than the labeled amount of actual capacity, thereby bringing our entire computer industry to a halt when writable space runs out unexpectedly.

Iran state TV yesterday excerpted American media to convey that violence against women is endemic in the US - notable in light of Iran's crackdown on women's rights.

Featured are a bystander video and police bodycam footage of an Ohio police officer punching a Black woman, Latinka Hancock, several times in the face when detaining her January 16, 2023

For a while now, I’ve been posting an analysis of Amazon’s results every quarter, as a Twitter thread. Twitter threads are over and it should be a blog anyhow: https://www.tbray.org/ongoing/When/202x/2023/02/03/Amazon-Q4-2022

Tl;dr: Amazon retail loses money and is subsidized by AWS and Advertising, big-time. Which is either irrational or unfair or both.

So apparently there’s been a denial-of-service attack on mastodon.social and it was down for a bit.

I didn’t notice.

(I have my own server.)

That’s the fediverse working as designed.

No server should be so big that its absence endangers the greater system. And if any are, that’s a problem.

If we want a healthy, resilient fediverse, we must keep the size of servers small and the number of servers high.
