@rysiek I don't know if it's Microsoft-related, but by the numbers, there's got to be *at least* one sysadmin in the country who just had a hell week because of Microsoft's outage and was looking forward to forgetting all about it on a long-planned, well-deserved beach vacation somewhere in the Caribbean this weekend.
@ai6yr at an east coast airport now. Delta official ground stop till at least 11pm
@Beachbum He is not going to run for President, and will certainly clarify that in the days ahead. Don't know for sure, but think that the President stuff was a useful excuse to be 'dithering' while letting his support build. IMO he has been focused on majority leader and planning this for a long time.
@mastodonmigration He literally said Saturday that he was not running for Leader. He had previously said the same thing and then I will post an example.

But with it being on a publicly accessible forum, there’s the implicit invitation to join the discussion.

But if you post it to a public forum, it’s like hitting “reply all.”
Maybe the 2 users in Sergio’s Juggalo community already say enough that spectators agree with one or the other and don’t feel the need to add anything more. 🤷♂️
US FAA groundstop is: 👀
If you happened to be on the way to an airport right now for a departure, I would recommend you go ahead and find somewhere else to be for a while unless you've got lounge access.
All aircraft nationwide appear to be ground stopped for about an hour at least.
The lounges will all be full and running out of everything.
Hopefully you have travel insurance.
I can't help but think about the prologue to A Fire Upon the Deep every time there's a big tech outage now
What I'm wondering is, from a psychology perspective:
Has Jensen Huang always been that kind of guy, the boss who sleeps around with his employees, or has the "AI" hype cooked his brain into becoming that guy?
@aesthr I think people with power can get away with things. They start small. They enjoy the thrill of getting away with increasingly bigger things, because nobody would dare defy them, or they can pay anyone off (or whatever else power affords). Then the brain normalizes this dynamic. Power corrupts.
SSAO, I don't hate it but I also don't love it.
“All departing traffic should remain ground stopped until further notice,” the official advisory read, adding that the landings of inbound international #flights would be managed on a case-by-case basis.
Shortly after the advisory was posted, an #FAA #website that lists air traffic control system notices appeared to have gone #down, erasing dozens of notices that previously had been listed.

Me∶ they are citing a “communications” issue. That could mean ANYTHING.
Possibilities that spring to mind that would lead to a national air travel grounding∶
A cyberattack. Or a credible terrorism threat.

@rysiek link doesn't work fyi, think the FAA advisories system is overloaded
@packetcat yeah
So ah, FAA issues, eh?
I heard that ARTCC is down (comms between towers) due to a frequency outage

@fiend_unpleasant @ai6yr I am not one for conspiracy's but odd coincidence when considered with MS timing. As saying goes: Once can be chance, twice coincidence, three times is enemy action.
@CliffsEsport @ai6yr after the Epstein thing I am willing to give any conspiracy theory a listen.
Sorry, the app encountered an unexpected error
