😭https://t.co/vSiuX8fc8r Helene hit Asheville really hard. BeLoved Asheville is an amazing organization, please donate to them if you can!

I wrote down a thing! "Unravel the mysteries" might be overselling it, but I have done a deep dive into Service Overload and describe 4 industry standard engineering patterns you can use to increase your service resiliency and boost your uptime.

[Stanza @StanzaSystems]

Unravel the Mysteries of Traffic Management!

Have you been hearing a lot of buzzwords like "circuit breaking" and "throttling" without really understanding them?

@equalize goes deep on how traffic management techniques keep systems of any size reliable.

@DropKiwifarms This level of hate seems exhausting

[Matthew Girard @equalize]

I'm a week late to this ROFL party, but I am figuratively dying right now. 🤣

[👻 spooky ipv6-only networking 👻 @noIPv6]

enough people have asked what the ipv6 counterpart to this is, so i, uh

got ahold of it 👀

(please don’t ask where or how 😅)

This one is actually my story, about adapting to massive scaling challenges, a gamble that didn't pay off, and the work of my friends in Traffic SRE, particularly my beloved colleague @_jdh. Buckle up, we're going for a trip down memory lane!

My favorite AI generated image that I have managed:

"A futuristic wolf warrior attacking little red riding hood in the style of cyberpunk"

[Matthew Girard @equalize]

If you want to learn a lot about the history of global load balancing /at scale/ in a short amount of time, read this!

And if you are ex-Google (and/or ex-Traffic) it's a walk down memory lane. 😉

[Matthew Girard @equalize]

It's true! I'm joining @StanzaSystems and we've got some *great* things planned.

[Joseph 🏴‍☠️��� @josebiro]

It’s nice to finally be able to talk about what this incredibly talented team has been up to. I’m lucky to be working with @niallm @BlakeBisset @maggiepint @lauralifts @NYCDubliner and @equalize . Looking forward to building awesome things! @StanzaSystems

It's time to put an end to the stalking. #dropkiwifarms #kiwifarms

[Elizabeth Warren @ewarren]

Let me state a basic fact: A person’s control over if and when to have a child leads to healthy adults, healthy children, and healthy families. But the extremists who successfully fought to overturn Roe do not care about health. They care about control—not our fundamental rights.

[Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC]

Forced pregnancy is a crime against humanity.

[Alex Vindman 🇺🇸 @AVindman]

I filed suit against ⁦@DonaldJTrumpJr⁩, ⁦@RudyGiuliani⁩, ⁦@DanScavino⁩, & others for witness intimidation & retaliation. Donald Trump, ⁦@FoxNews⁩, & ⁦@IngrahamAngle⁩ are also named in the law suit. https://t.co/mxWaZMCvwT

[Jasmine Beach-Ferrara @JBeachFerrara]

Today, Madison Cawthorn voted NO on the Violence Against Women Act. Why would you do that?

[Jasmine Beach-Ferrara @JBeachFerrara]

I am Democrat Jasmine Beach-Ferrara. I am running against Madison Cawthorn. I have 4.5K followers. My opponent has 256K.

Can you please retweet this and ask everyone you know to follow this account to build our platform?

[Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders]

Let's be clear. This election won't be over when Trump says it's over. It will be over after every vote is counted. That includes mail-in ballots postmarked on Election Day, as well as military ballots. This is a democracy. Whether Trump likes it or not, we count every vote.

[Joe Biden @JoeBiden]

It’s Election Day. Go vote, America!

[Joe Biden @JoeBiden]

The right to vote is the most fundamental American right there is. We need to immediately expand vote-by-mail, online voter registration, and early voting to ensure everyone can safely exercise their right to participate in our electoral process. https://t.co/An7O2h1t9M

[Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders]

During this public health emergency and horrific pandemic, the Postal Service is needed now more than ever. Join our virtual town hall with the leaders of the country’s major postal unions on how we must act to save the postal system: https://t.co/Gn8pyLJH8h
