    2/2 🧵

    Fortunately, the Joint ALMA Observatory (and the ALMA Partnership) is not a monoculture, so not all computers run Windows, but macOS and Linux as well. Still learning if some Windows computers for some control systems might be at risk in our observatories, and maybe other observatories…

    Resilient versus brittle systems:

    7.4 Mw earthquake just in the vicinity of the ALMA Observatory: after a small initial scare, things keep working as normal (we might need to look at our hydrogen maser, though).

    Single software update from a vendor that we don't contract: affects our email and messaging provider (Microsoft 365), degrades the operation of the entire observatory.
