"uh, how many 1tb external drives do we need to hold *checks notes* 1.21 petabytes of s3 data? we'll send someone to the micro center"

"how to login to ec2-user account on redhat linux urgent pls respond"

hey maybe the parler admin email they use to register at some other hosting provider is hosted on aws and they forgot about it...

"is there a one click migration tool for moving from aws to oracle cloud...? please dm"

parler has a bus factor of < 1

"if aws can kick parler off they can kick you off too"

yes, you have successfully identified one of the risks of relying on a third party for literally anything, i don't think this is the hot take you think it is...

if a vendor is _critical_ to your operations, you should probably work pretty hard to maintain that relationship

and sometimes, that means not assisting in attempts to overthrow the government...

maybe try ibm?

OMFG AHAHAHAHA parler was using a free trial of okta...

_was_

lol twilio too

so, what, no sms or phone notifications or validations?

womp womp

...i think republicans think that parler is twitter-compatible or something?

that's the only reason i can think of that would cause them to be confused by losing followers after telling people to move to parler

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA ZENDESK DROPPED THEM TOO

"urgent: how to use cloudendure to migrate from aws to virtualbox?"

now it sounds like trump supporters are threatening to attack aws datacenters over on parler

"hello? delta airlines? i would like one ticket to... um... 'us-east-1a' please"

lol now parler's lawyers have dropped them

NXDOMAIN maybe you misspelled parler?

the parler "hack":
request post #1, get post #1
request post #1, get post #2
request post #3, get post #3
request post #4....

and so on

(to clarify, this isn't a hack)

i think amazon's lawyers will eat this one up

section 6 gives free reign to temporarily suspend anyone, apparently indefinitely and without notice

and then section 7 says they can terminate after 30 days

@twitter

@twitter Top toots sir. A+++ would spit out tea laughing again.

@twitter

google one way airfare SEA to AWS

@djsundog "i'm feeling lucky"

@twitter I get the impression they are good at interneting, surely they can hack into AWS and overheat the --

wait, didn't the feds say that cyberattacks like that would be met with a direct military responses?

@twitter https://www.axios.com/payment-processor-stripe-bans-trump-campaign-0f55ff23-973b-4168-9f9c-0992b9a26d08.html

@neltnerb just inject these headlines into my arm please

@twitter of course on hacker news people are complaining that "payment processors should be a utility" and I'm like... no shit, people who buy legal cannabis have had to deal with this for decades... no, they are not a utility...

sigh

@twitter apparently nobody else wants to host them either

@twitter unfortunately for them, Amazon takes a lot of time and effort to hide the actual locations of their datacenters

@twitter I think some of it is all the Nazi bots and virulent racist assholes finally getting banned by twitter... That and they expected most of their followers to just quit twitter, not close the accounts, so between the bots and the account closures, they think they're getting shadowbanned. Or something similar. Screaming on national television they can't communicate with their base anymore. Because heaven knows the sociopath with a private jet can't afford a TV and cable...

@twitter @rysiek "if AWS can enforce their acceptable use policy on Parler after repeated warnings, then if you egregiously violate their TOS, they could enforce it on you too". Yes, this is how policies function

Not seeing the problem here, beyond concentration of resources in near-monopolies is not good for the Internet, which we already knew

@twitter man... they'll get to Micro Center 5 minutes before closing to find out that they have 2 shingled 4TB WD reds and maybe 6 1TB Barracudas left

@yakkoj @twitter so... they'll ask for the manager?

@neltnerb @yakkoj "hello? 911?"

@twitter @yakkoj oh, they can just ask the FBI for their backup copy. Easy.
