Free idea: a browser extension that tells you if the website you're on (and what parts and portion of it) is being served from AWS.

Amazon boycotts are great and all, but let's be honest-- AWS is the cash cow, and we hardly ever know when we're using it.

In the Netherlands, there was an uproar that SIDN, the .nl domain registry, would move certain services to #AWS. As that circulated the parliament intervened and a detailed research was done.

From my read, no EU cloud provider, neither #OVH, nor #IONOS or #HETZNER or #STACKIT is able or can compete.

Nevertheless, why do not all european based domain registries join forces?

#Ransomware threat actors are increasingly abusing AWS's Server-Side Encryption (SSE-C) to encrypt S3 buckets without needing to drop malware. Most recently a TA known as #Codefinger is using this technique.

🕵 Make sure you're monitoring S3 and encryption activity via CloudTrail & GuardDuty.

Did anyone hear about bigtech investing in #nuclear energy to supposedly power 'ai'? here's a supposed article that sounds like it's copy-pasted straight from the nuclear lobby's press release (you can tell because they write "clean energy" as opposed to "toxic waste generating energy that poisons children and placed in bombs to damag the #genetics of people in parts of the world bankers want to harvest").

Amazon bought a nuclear-powered #datacenter in march and now they are investing $500 million in "small modular reactors". The nuclear lobby must be thrilled that everyone seems to be too distracted with the election to even talk about this. This news from amazon came a day after google announced it has big plans to go nuclear over the next decade or so.

in case anyone needed another reason to boycott m$, amaz, and goog....

@ErikJonker from what I've read this seems to be powered by the OpenRewrite project (https://github.com/openrewrite/) by quite some extent, so not really AI (as in LLM), perhaps just for guiding you to the right recipes. Here is AWS writing about it, and having read AWS written stuff about their stuff and worked with AWS stuff I would take their boasting with a grain of salt for sure: https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/aws/upgrade-your-java-applications-with-amazon-q-code-transformation-preview/
