Tiny Actions, Big Results!

We can complain all day long for the things that go wrong, or for the things that others should have done for us. Or we can take ownership of our life and just take action. Even tiny actions can bear extraordinary results!

Cloud Providers and single point of failures

A significant portion of the internet was inaccessible yesterday due to a failure at AWS, one of the largest cloud providers. This highlighted the vulnerability of numerous online websites, apps, and platforms that depend on a single cloud provider for their infrastructure, and more broadly, the risks associated with centralization (e.g., single point of failure).

It’s reassuring to know that incidents like this have no impact on this blog, as I don’t rely on external hosting services. It’s 100% under my control. Regardless of whether AWS, Azure, Google Cloud, or any other service is down, I’m not affected and nor can anyone censor me.

A Cypherpunk's Manifesto

A Cypherpunk’s Manifesto by Eric Hughes is an important document published on March 9, 1993. Eric Hughes is considered one of the founders of the cypherpunk movement, founding and running the Cypherpunk mailing list.

This is a very short (only 1.5 page) but highly influential document about privacy, free speech, and self-sovereignty, which I can’t recommend it enough!
