With #Azure down this time, instead of #AWS. Seems like a good time to reiterate that #SelfHosting is easy!

Amazon AWS down last week. Microsoft Azure down this week. Major disruption to websites and apps. Whose turn is it next week? Are we getting the hint yet? Centralized internet infrastructure controlled by Big Tech is not working for us. We need to decentralize, both as individuals and organizations. And we need to do it ASAP.

By pure coincidence, @pluralistic 's reminder that everyone (Americans included) needs to reduce their tech dependence on the American broligarchy happened during a major AWS outage.

📣THREAD: It’s surprising to me that so many people were surprised to learn that Signal runs partly on AWS (something we can do because we use encryption to make sure no one but you–not AWS, not Signal, not anyone–can access your comms).

It’s also concerning. 1/

@Mer__edith Thank you for the explanation. I support Signal.

This situation shows that more people should support EU companies whenever possible, rather than large corporations. We need alternatives for various services and must take small steps in this direction https://european-alternatives.eu/

So, apparently on October 20th of 2025 #internet died (again) due to #dns issue in #aws

There is no better moment than this to stress even more the importance of #decentralization #selfhosting and deployment of #foss alternatives to the services offered by #greed giant #corporations in order to claim back a more resilient #web just like it was at the very beginning
