#singlepointoffailure — Public Fediverse posts

Looks like Flatpak discovery will move from one mostly generally accepted hub to a gazillion of repos since the performative LLM complaints have befallen the possible single hub. (Partially half-understandable arguments, partially performative fluff for my taste)

Which is ok as it triggers competition that might lead to better outcomes. (bazaar vs cathedral and all, rite? 😏 )
And removes a possible single point of failure.

Now what I'd like to see is an approach that does discovery of those repos and enables search across those repos without a single point of failure. As e.g. a single, centrally hosted index for repos to register to would be.

Flatpak already uses a reverse-dns-namespace structure internally. Anything that would leverage that? Wouldn't help with enumeration though.

Something something DHT/Gossip/...? (as the cool thing from the past)

Clearly a problem that will arise with more of the expectable decentralized systems that need uniform discovery and search.

What's the Fedis wisdom on current academic approaches that might be interesting around this?
Or bastardized routing tech, yet another idea on how to twist DNS into a pretzel, etc? Dare I say: Blockchain (as the unpopular thing before the LLMs 🤣 )

Throw you best Arxiv posts etc. at me. I'm just curious about the state-of-the-art techn for now, all smirk and sarcasm aside.

@PC_Fluesterer Auf jeden Fall unprofessionell, schlecht designed, schlecht gemacht und sowas von nicht zeitgemäß. Dabei weiß man doch schon lange, wie man hohe Verfügbarkeit, Redundanz und Ausfallsicherheit in der IT architekturell erlangt und, daß diese Komponenten nicht optional sind.

@77nn la questione non è #smartphone sì/no. La questione è essere obbligati ad usare sistemi #proprietari, #non-standard, legandosi mani e piedi ad uno ed uno solo fornitore. Straniero, per di più!
Sono critico anche sulla #CIE perché abolito lo #SPID diventerà un unico enorme #SingoloPuntoDiRottura (#SinglePointOfFailure): se #CIE si ferma si ferma l'intera nazione!

In a sane world, when #cloudflare goes down, we'd all be calling for decentralisation...

@watzmann Für mich ist #Cloudflare ein #SinglePointOfFailure wieso man sich so abhängig machen will bleibt mir ein Rätsel.

Ah, another tech blogger who just discovered the concept of a single point of failure—groundbreaking! 🌐💥 Apparently, #Cloudflare is the new villain for taking "important" sites offline (translation: blogs with tens of monthly readers) 🕸️😂. Congratulations on mastering the art of stating the obvious! 🎓🎉

Tja, wenn sich alle auf einen Service verlassen... #singlePointOfFailure #CloudflareDown

🚨✨BREAKING: #Cloudflare is "investigating" while the internet burns to the ground! 🌐🔥 Who knew relying on a single point of failure could be so wildly entertaining? 😂🤦‍♂️ Stay tuned for more updates on this thrilling saga of technological bungee jumping! 🎢📉

Ah, yes, the thrilling saga of "Centralizing Authorization"—because clearly, decentralization was just too much fun. 🎉 Let's gather all our data eggs in one basket 🥚, and pray nothing falls, because what could possibly go wrong with a single point of failure? 🤦‍♂️

@cesco_78 complimenti per la chiarezza.
A me rimane la perplessità di trasformare il cellofono in un unico gigantesco #SInglePointOfFailure, tipo, ripristinare lo #SPID è "stressante". Con la #CIE dovrebbe essere più facile.
Perché SPID e CIE non permettono l'uso di generatori #OTP "scelti da me"? (Chessò FreeOTP o altri)

@thearcanecomposer sure - it all started with a presidential candidate #RonaldReagan receiving a very large contribution from a company named #Microsoft producing an operating system. In return he enacted software #patents that caused widespread #monoculture known to be vulnerable to #SinglePointOfFailure. To protect the fragile system another company named #CrowdStrike #CRWD created monitoring software that was deployed to all endpoints across the world, running with administrative permission, collecting all signals to a centralized database.

One day said company made a silly mistake, that only affected this particular operating system's ability to boot. For a brief moment the western world shut down. Politicians across the world were appalled by the incompetence of people in #InformationTechnology but concluded there was nothing to do about it.

What we will do when #Mozilla dies? We have so many parts of our infrastructure bound to them without any backup. See for example https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/1602415 … the five-year-old request for inclusion of the Czech Post #CA into Mozilla trusted CAs (with eight months old needinfo for a Mozilla developers).

I was going to ask if you were referring to YKK, that company that seems to make almost all of the world's zippers.

You're talking about something else, but I wonder...

What other #bottlenecks or #SinglePointOfFailure's are there? The cables on the ocean floor that carry internet signals: I think there are only three or four, right? Or there is an underwater rock formation of the west coast of Africa that's waiting to break and create a tsunami.

Purtroppo #Telegram è facilmente censurabile avendo un bel #singlepointoffailure. Mi sembra anche #Signal. Ci sarebbero #session, #briar e #simplex ma sono ancora più di nicchia. L'unica "a prova di censura" e proponibile ai meno tecnologici mi sembra sia #Jami che se non erro è caldeggiata dalle amministrazioni francesi da sempre bendisposte verso il #softwarelibre ( #SoftwareLibero )

Don't people who want to #BeTheEverythingApp wise 🦉 understand that #SinglePointOfFailure in #infosec is a thing? 🤦‍♂️
