EP 1223 - Single-Point Failure: When AWS Sneezes (and Everyone Catches a Cold)

Show Notes

Tuesday, October 21, 2025 — Broadcasting from the Safety FM Studios in Orlando. Yesterday’s AWS wobble knocked out our first-hour live feed, so today we flip the outage into a practical lesson: spotting single-point failures, building true redundancy, and keeping your ops online when the big clouds go dark.

What’s inside:

• Main Story: The AWS outage—timelines, impacts, and how to mirror/segment so one break doesn’t take you down.
• News Run: FSN + Allen Edwards on the shutdown brinkmanship, international flashpoints, tech & travel turbulence.
• Talkers & Oddities: diamond prosthetic eye, snake-in-the-car panic, a surprisingly polite zoo bear, and a potato-hoax harvest.
• Safety Angle: Quick checks to harden your own systems before the next wobble.
• Plus: Motivation Minute, One-Minute Devotion, TWLOHA resource, and the usual Rated R seasoning.
