Reminds me of Cloudflare going down every time there was a football game in Spain as the ISPs blocked all the "bad" ips, which ironically also served government websites.

New comment by corvad in "10 Years of the SRE book: Announcing the second edition"

corvad — Tue, 13 Oct 2026 15:02:00 +0000

Started reading the book recently and one thing stood out:

> Blameless postmortems are one aspect of a blameless culture. Creating a safe environment and fostering a culture of learning requires understanding blame and acknowledging cognitive biases. Blame can be a way to discharge discomfort, as Brené Brown suggests. It’s crucial to recognize cognitive biases such as the fundamental attribution error (where we attribute others’ actions to internal traits and our own to external circumstances) and hindsight bias (the tendency to see past events as predictable).

> Blamelessness shifts the focus of responsibility from people to systems and processes after an incident. Finger-pointing leads to risk aversion, fear, and a tendency to hide mistakes, which reduces situational awareness, increases the risk of problems accumulating, and limits the organization’s ability to be proactive—stunting the ability to innovate and improve. A blameless culture instead focuses on identifying and improving the systems and processes that allowed the incident to occur. It assumes that individuals act in good faith and make decisions based on the best information available.

This is probably the most important thing in my opinion in a lot of scenarios and cannot be emphasized further.

I mean NASA's budget was/is minuscule in comparison to defense spending so I am not surprised.

It's too fast to be real windows and there is not a task manager so I can kill apps when they always freeze.

It seems insane to me the amount of progress they have had. This is their first full orbital mission and they will stay in orbit for ~10hrs.

Looks like it was an Oracle PeopleSoft 0-day so I imagine there are a lot more systems vulnerable.

Hmm ShinyHunters seems to be in the news quite a bit recently. Most high profile was the Canvas LMS hack last spring right during college finals. Wonder if there will be a ransom for this data as well.

Click-bait title huh. This is not even close to a 0-day. I guess that word has lost all meaning to ArsTechnica huh.

I think thats more for being able to have the status page not tied to your own infrastructure.
