Almost no one gets mad if your site and half the internet were down.
- saubeidl 11mo agoSure, but that is also a giant weakness. Say in a future conflict with Russia or China, or hell, even North Korea. They'd only have to take down a few services to completely cripple the West - the exact case ARPANET was designed to prevent.
- is_true 11mo agoYep. You are right. Aren't those services regulated to avoid that from happening?
