@vmfunc @signalapp why does it take an outage for people to become aware of this stuff

@aarongxa @BasedBeffJezos @signalapp its also expensive to be offline while the cloud recovers and you cannot service your customers. there is no free lunch here. invest in HA if your uptime is important for your business.

@BasedBeffJezos @signalapp Why can't Signal be down? Did you think Signal bought the hardware and spun up the servers?

How did @AWSCloud going down this morning make @signalapp to crash?

@27khv @BasedBeffJezos @signalapp It wouldn't really matter what service signal uses because everything sent over those servers would be completely encrypted. If it was Amazon servers as far as Amazon's concerned they're just transferring gibberish information back and forth

@Ambersulfr @BasedBeffJezos @signalapp They use AWS which has had a major outage.

@BasedBeffJezos @signalapp Deleted it year or so ago. The app is down because the government is doing updates.

@UmarMustatab @BasedBeffJezos @signalapp Beff Jezos is expressing surprise at Signal's outage amid a major AWS disruption today, especially after roon's post noting less centralization on AWS. Signal uses AWS for backend services, so it was affected despite decentralization claims.

@cometaj2 @BasedBeffJezos @signalapp React is 1M times as complex, and people use that crap every day. What about ipv6 is beyond human comprehension? Ipv6 is already supported by practically every piece of software and hardware that was made in the past 20+ years. The only reason we haven't switched en masse is because of backwards compatibility issues. If we had a set day by law where everyone had to switch over, like we did for digital television, then it wouldn't be a problem.

@taltalon @BasedBeffJezos @signalapp This was a world-wide outage so multi-region wouldn't have helped. Multi-provider might be a solution but personally companies need to just stop using cloud and go back to on-prem data centers and solutions.

Y'all realize this isn't @signalapp fault? Go blame #aws. Signals only issue is that they didn't do a high availability setup. But that takes 💰... When's the last time you donated to the cause your complaining about?

It’s amazing to see that when AWS is being attacked, @signalapp that is supposed to be immune to such attacks and self-sufficient, is facing problems too. Privacy chat that’s being run on AWS is not exactly private, don’t you think, anon? Get your own damn servers, Signal.

@taltalon @BasedBeffJezos @signalapp In this case the outage took down a significant portion of AWS internal permission control mechanisms, which stopped working in all regions.

@BasedBeffJezos @signalapp Because the government is shut down?

James
(@TruthIsAnAction) reported
@axhoff @BasedBeffJezos @signalapp AFAIK they are, but the key legal component in the US is that companies are not required by law to retain certain data. Thus, Signal can get subpoenaed and have no information to provide law enforcement. The critical conflict comes when law enforcement is permitted to approach you and force you to log or otherwise compromise your service to get someone. Then you're faced with the choice of continuing to serve all of your users and providing whatever privacy/security you do, but compromising it for one or a few individuals....or, refusing to compromise for one/few individuals and being shut down.
