Textbook DARVO sequencing.

On top of that, hypersensitivity, projection, victim-role adoption, blame pre-loading.
While these are effective rhetorical tools for manipulating people, this isn’t how reasonable people engage in conversation.
If you’re not a bot then you’re a narcissist or have picked up narcissistic behaviors from reading social media arguments and should, as the kids say, touch grass.
The moth was not okay.
They didn’t tell us this part when they taught it in school #RIP Bug, the OG bug who died to the OG pull request.
I’m not sure about Cloudflare but it might be as well.
Cloudflare was a chain of unfortunate events.
The TLDR is, a permission change caused a poorly written SQL query (without a properly filtering ‘where’ clause) to return a lot more data than normal. That data is used by an automated script to generate configuration files for the proxy services, because of the large return the configuration files were larger than normal (roughly 2x the size).
The service that uses these configuration files has pre-allocated memory to hold the configuration files and the larger config file exceeded that size. This case, of having a file too large for the memory space, was improperly handled (ironically but not literally ironically, it was written in Rust) resulting in a thread panic which terminated the service and resulted in the 5xx errors.
So, it’s more similar to the Crowdstrike crash (bad config file and poor error handling in a critical component).
I thought you were setting up the “He’s famously from Ypsilanti Michigan, everyone knows this!” line, lol
bulletin board
I haven’t used a BBS since the 90s, dialing in to play MajorMUD and later PvP MUDs (Chaosium/Static Chaos).
I’ll check it out. I use lynx already, because I use Arch(, btw) and break literally everything including my DE.
Yes, exactly. They use a lot of bad faith arguments, logical fallacies, etc. They’re all just literary devices to amp up the messaging and they all follow roughly the same kind of bad faith argument templates.
Of course, these could be people. The problem is that they seem to simultaneously be completely ignorant of how reality works while also being an encyclopedia of pop culture political references and grievances. If it’s a person then it fits the ‘chronically online, touch grass please’ stereotype, but there are so many others that argue exactly how it does on the exact same topics across all of social media so I just assume it is a bot or a bot-affected person.
We know there are information operations that exist to shape public perception that are happening on all social media. This is what it looks like, very hard to tell apart from real people (made even harder by real people mimicking them).

What in the 1980s program are you getting your e-mail through?
BabyTron meme unless my Internet sense is failing me.
Pretty obvious the person you’re arguing with isn’t a trump voter
Is that really obvious though? It reads like a troll trying to create pointless division among progressives.
I always read these people as either political bots or children (or adults, similarly intelligent) spreading a meme created by a political bot.
That is 100% the cat’s chair, and also a warning as to what will happen if it is ever disposed of.
This is some ancient bash.org-tier knowledge
It was kind of fun walking in to the tech support area and them asking your login name with no context knowing what the issue was.
I see this zip bomb was owned by user icpenis, someone track that guy down.
If you want a technical breakdown that isn’t “lol AI bad”:

Basically, a permission change cause an automated query to return more data than was planned for. The query resulted in a configuration file with a large amount of duplicate entries which was pushed to production. The size of the file went over the prealloctaed memory limit for a downstream system which died due to an unhandled error state resulting from the large configuration file. This caused a thread panic leading to the 5xx errors.
It seems that Crowdstrike isn’t alone this year in the ‘A bad config file nearly kills the Internet’ club.
It’s always depressing when you ask the AI to explain your code and then you get banned from OpenAI
If they were the learnin’ type, they wouldn’t be here
The same thing that stops people from getting access to your domain registration and changing the IP. You have a contract with your provider (ISP or DNS) which says that you own that IP/Hostname.
Your home IP address changes, but most business or commercial accounts are given a static IP address (or blocks of IP addresses) which never changes.
The rational response is to read and understand comments before letting outage compel you to say something ignorant. A lesson that both you and the tweet writer should learn.
I agree that this situation is outrageous, and that Megan Kelley is disingenuously trying to create cover for Trump. Nothing I wrote says anything otherwise.
You’re doing this ignorant thing that chronically online people do where they assume that any kind of disagreement automatically means that the person is on the other ‘side’ of the issue. Instead of actually responding to what I’ve said, you’ve created a strawman in your head that believes something outrageous and are attacking that strawman instead of what I’ve said.
And, to demonstrate the complexity of the real world, I can say all of that about you while also agreeing with you that Trump is a pedophile.
Still deflecting. The one-liner gaslight doesn’t erase the DARVO playbook you just ran. Anyone scrolling can see it; my work here is done.
