And now, a @namecheap adventure. This morning my vanity domain (registered since 2001) stopped working. All records resolve to verify-contact-details.namecheap.com. and …iled-whois-verification.namecheap.com.
What changed? Fifteen days ago I renewed the domain for 9 years. There was no notice that whois details need to be reverified. Logging into the console shows no screaming notification, or even a quiet one.
Toggling whoisguard off and updating contact info appears to have fixed it, but I'm extraordinarily hesitant to trust @namecheap with anything revenue generating going forth.
The verification email that they swore was sent (to another domain) never arrives, even in spam. Is g-suite / gmail eating namecheap verification emails?
Thankfully this is just, y'know. My personal email address.

I'll be transferring all remaining domains to Route 53 presently. Because YIKES.

Good morning, and welcome to Day One of #reinvent.

This is my #requinnvent summary / livetweet / nonsense event, and this thread will cover @ajassy's 3 hour keynote this morning. Image
Zach Persons is jamming out from an undisclosed location somewhere in @ajassy's labyrinthine basement. Image
The #reinvent crowd excitement here is reaching a fever pitch. Image

And so I begin the Late Night AWS #requinnvent tweet thread: Corey Quinn's own version of AWS's own version of Cloud Next.

To make it more like the #reinvent I gave my kid $20, watered down my drink, and spent the last 3 hours standing in line outside my home office yelling.
(These will be aggregated among some other things at requinnvent.com.)
The #reinvent livestream is up, playing music reminiscent of that time I tried to give my dial-up modem a bath. Image

The first #reinvent launch is in a bit under 4 hours, and with it the start of #reQuinnvent.

Let's get in the mood by reading @Gartner_inc's MQ for Cloud Database Management Systems.

A thread! Image
If we look at the axis labels, @awscloud's ability to execute is unmatched but their vision trails that of some other companies like @GCPcloud, @OracleCloud, and @IBMcloud.

*spit-takes in Gartner*

Wait, what?!
Okay, @awscloud's strengths make sense to me--but I'll call them out if they start marketing on that "more reliable than other clouds" point too heavily.

You don't market on other people's downtime, for tomorrow it may be yours instead. Or perhaps last week's.

Since Google acquired DORA and then Googled the State of DevOps Report, the @puppetize version is the last State of DevOps Report standing.

A thread.

puppet.com/resources/repo…
We start with @Puppetize shipping its sales culture. Why do companies need to know what state you're in? So the right sales rep gets your lead obviously.
The cover is evocative: a hipster dude who blue himself on top of a container, a Black woman with severe jaundice, and a woman who desperately needs to invest in a seating arrangement that's less likely to kill her.

Since @cleancredit700 are in fact the biggest pieces of shit in our solar system, a thread on how to actually repair your credit without giving money to these predatory fucks.
It's pretty straightforward; I helped write some of it years ago:

reddit.com/r/personalfina…
"If the do-it-yourself route is not working for you, consider a reputable non-profit agency that is a member of National Foundation for Credit Counseling or the Association of Independent Consumer Credit Counseling Agencies."

These pieces of shit are Not That.
