feels like stuff anyone could guess, and it's stuff generally seen already


I agree w/ this tweet, that where it could really get fucked, is a cert expiration (WHICH EVERYONE ON THIS FORUM SHOULD BE ABLE TO UNDERSTAND BY NOW LOL)

"I'm FAR more concerned with certificate management. If I were a betting man, I'd think that's the first thing to break."

for something like twitter, there are countless services, and servers that all have certs that expire at random times, and it's who even knows how many peoples' jobs to stay on top of all of that.

idk if all those people don't work there anymore, but I know for sure that some of them don't, and it's hard enough staying on top of even when just one person leaves.

outside of okp, I've seen it happen multiple times at work.

there are so many moving parts behind little shit like logging in or displaying an image and if just one of them is boned you have nothing, and if everyone knows where everything is it can still take 6-12 hours to fix.
