How do you build secure, reliable, scalable systems from scratch? You don’t. 😂😂😂 This image is the perfect reminder of how the entire digital world actually works: We love talking about “end-to-end security”, “5 nines reliability”, “hyperscale”, “AI-powered infra”… But at the end of the day? If Linux doesn’t boot and worldwide’s electricity doesn’t collapse, the whole pyramid magically “works”. From unpaid open-source devs keeping the internet alive, to that unknown C module no one dares to touch, to whatever Microsoft is doing this week. Y this stack survives only because somehow, miraculously, nothing explodes. So before trying to be the next cloud messiah, do yourself a favour: 👉 Make sure Linux runs 👉 Make sure the lights stay on 👉 And accept that the rest is… manageable chaos And yes, I laugh because it’s painfully true. 😅 #ai #
Since the meme is expanding, let's add the Moon factor too, imagine if something wrong happens to the moon 🥺
MCP is missing Eduardo Ordax
This post is a blow to Site Reliability Engineers. They are just Hopeful Engineers fundamentally.
This is getting better and better every day 😅
You win the internet today with this representation🙌
Eduardo Ordax, this is why Linus deserves more credit than what he gets...;-)
maybe some Excel 97 files are missing from the picture :D
Yes you do. Three servers in three datacenters with multiple independent internet connections while not relying on the power grid based on Proxmox and Ceph. Don’t put any third services in front of it (no Cloudflare) don’t use closed source and maintain a privacy first strategy (that will force you in doing stuff yourself.)
It all starts from sand (to make silicon chips, and where submarine internet cables are), and ends up in sand again (old servers ending up burned or recycled); a sandcastle
