And decentralization improves when the masses know they can seamlessly run their own relays/nodes

Nope

Location outages are inevitable.

Business outages are unacceptable.

My advice to service providers:

A) practice safe georedundancy

B) reconsider design choices (microservice vs monolithic)

C) mitigate vendor lock-in

1,600 bitcoin or ~30% of the clearnet node capacity of the Lightning network resides on AWS.

GM. Marked safe from AWS US East 1 going down.

Host your shit, route through multiple data-centers

PSA: we're aware that Signal is down for some people. This appears to be related to a major AWS outage. Stand by.

Turns out most of the internet is just a AWS server

1) it is pretty lame that aws going down takes down signal with it, the outage earlier was a few hours

2) since signal is end to end encrypted there is no trust required in amazon on the privacy side regardless

GM......so there is some kind of outage?
