This is a niche meme. I like niche memes, even if I don't get them. I get this, though, and I approve.

For anyone curious. I plan to avoid this, I'm already good enough to be useful but unreliable enough that none wants to bet their house on me.

I swear every second commrnt I post is an xkcd reference: https://xkcd.com/2347/

Hope I'm not letting the cat out of the bag.

Everything is. Even this comment.

Ohh now I get it. Ha

The infrastructure is more complex and robust than that. In reality, there are dozens of such dependencies that can break everything.

This xkcd always felt like curl though, which really feels like a single point of failure for... well... too much

It's actually about NTP.

It’s actually the other side

Oh, no. It's not that.

This is some well paid block, outside of the pile, carrying a bomb.

I'm not sure whether I should be proud that I understand this meme.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 2 months ago

I don't know about proud, but you sure should be content.

the random person in Nebraska will be missed.

Nah, this isn't one tiny little open source project - this was literally meant to be a security suite.

If this is about crowdstrike, idk if that quite applies here. I don't think anything really depended on crowdstrike falcon, it just had the ability to break every system it was installed on. If it stopped working but didn't crash the computers no one would care.

Very creative, but doesn't really work here.nothing relied on cloudstrike.

Gladly it's not loss. Just a part of that one xkcd comic about modern infrastructure maintained by one guy.
