@anthropy@mastodon.derg.nz @dalias@hachyderm.io @Em0nM4stodon@infosec.exchange There's now more not traffic than human traffic on the internet. Get rid of the bots and there's plenty of capacity for years to come. Plus, even at the consumer level, people are fed up when stuff doesn't work because of a server outage. XBox gaming had a massive outage again this week because the authentication and saved settings servers were down. A pretty good reason to incenivize people switching from Microsoft flight sim "stream the world terrain data and other visuals in flight simulator to X-Plane, with only a registration check. Even with the recent price hikes, storage is historically cheap, so download terrain maps once and you don't have to worry about Azure being down.
