"Please rank all options", while there are 15 of them, is going to cause some selection bias in the survey results... Only a certain type of person is going to do all that...

Microsoft Windows: Great news! The latest security update was installed without a restart.

It would be really good news if this was the norm.

An elaborate light projection on a church, in many colours and probably the most prominent a white dove.
A light projection on the white Light Tower building in Eindhoven, which is a very short building, not much of a tower. The projection was animated but the photo freezes the moment a mermaid like woman appears with an outstretched hand.

Avenue des Champs-Élysées.
#Paris #ChampsÉlysées #Photography
Avenue des Champs-Élysées through a long lens, which compresses the nearly 2km and shows all the traffic coming. Many people have taken this picture. Meanwhile two pedestrians are crossing the road, as well as two cars. The Arc de Triomphe at the end of the road is seen between the rows of trees at the side of the road.

Arc de Triomphe.
#Paris #ArcDeTriomphe #Photography
Arc de Triomphe on a cloudy day, with traffic in front of it. The photo is a long-ish exposure, so the cars are blurred. A woman at the side stands perfectly still on the edge of the pavement, admiring the Arc. It is as if she contemplates crossing the road, but don't worry she is just looking and walked away to the foot tunnel later on.

Eiffel Tower.

Eiffel Tower at night, from very close up looking up at an angle. The tower is bathed in its night time illumination, which turns the low hanging clouds red. Bare branches of a tree are in the foreground.

You hear about the guy who slipped at the top and died? Tragic. His last words were "Ah, Eiffel!"

I love how she's immersed in the water herself with her camera.

I felt bad about not using redundancy features in what I'm running online. Well, only a little bit bad, I'm only a single person doing unimportant stuff. But apparently major corporations are also not running redundancy either, so I feel a bit better.

What is worrying about the AWS outage in New York however, is that it seems to have affected critical things in EU and UK as well. And wordle.

I don’t know the details, but it’s easy to do stuff like this when it’s DNS. The DNS infrastructure might not be down or non redundant. If you publish the wrong DNS record, or you accidentally delete a record that is vital to a lot of services, it looks like this. The infrastructure can be up and running perfectly, but just providing the wrong answer.

He just posted a follow-up to that one regarding some of the moronic American responses. Pretty amusing in a horrifying kind of way.
