Do I have any active followers from mastodon.social? If you are - please let me know!

I'm currently on-call, but there is a reason we don't depend on Akamai, Cloudflare or the big three cloud providers.

So I just watch the fireworks. And pour a glass for those having pagers go off right now due to Akamai.

Fun for network operators, looks like Akamai shit the bed

What part of living in a village is like prison?

The mindset is in general way narrower. You’re socially considering your village of a few hundred/thousand people, not communities outside of it. What your immediate neighbors think, what people in the village think.

Most people do not consciously appreciate this, this is why it’s a socio-economic prison. The people living in such arrangements do not realize things could be different.

My grandparents on my mum’s side passed away this past year, and I’ve been thinking quite a lot about them, and the lives they lead. The ways they shaped my mum and me.

A small village is a socio-economic prison. My grandparents didn’t escape it, but they gave my mum and me the chance to do so. Education, encouragement, opportunity. It was an intergenerational effort.

I am keenly aware of how lucky I’ve been with having opportunities, it’s not merit.

So in case of Austria I've crunched the numbers and this means more than doubling the 10k death count.

More than half of the covid deaths in Austria are still to come, because 43% of the pop does not have any vaccine, including 20% of the 65+ age group.

So assuming everyone getting infected who isn't vaccinated, and calculating with the CFRs per age group so far, this will be a difficult 2021.

I think we need to agree collectively to consider soundbites and political memes impolite.

it’s a complete domination of style over substance, and we can’t debate anything meaningful this way, the tribal dadaism of what goes on on all major social networks is just awful.

Considering it good form to at least put together a couple of paragraphs worth of arguments for a position should be the minimum that we do.
