A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.

Rules:

  1. Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.

  2. No spam posting.

  3. Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.

  4. Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.

  5. Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).

  6. No trolling.

That's what you get when you let go hundreds of employees from your cloud computing unit in favour of AI.

I hope they end up having to compensate all the billions of losses they caused to all the businesses and people.

They do have contracts and are obligated to provide a certain "up time", which is usually 99% or so. If they fail to provide that, they are liable to compensate for the losses.

Or do you think that Amazon is above the law and no other company could sue them?

It all depends on what kind of contracts they have.

Most services have a clause that they are not liable for unforseen issues.. Depends how good the lawyers were when formalizing the contracts.

Good luck arguing that a missed config counts as an 'unforeseen issue'. If they go that route, people will be all over them for not being SOC compliant wrt change control.

They can try to argue that latency issue and the stale state were an unknown / unanticipated problem. Like when half of Canadas Rogers network went down affecting most debit payment systems. Testing of routing showed it OK, realworld flip went haywire.
