In retro-computing, where every board is equal parts memory and archaeology, few badges spark as much nostalgia as Sound Blaster. That’s why the latest “miracle” on Adrian’s Digital Basement —the YouTube channel of repair wizard Adrian Black— spread so quickly: a Sound Blaster 2.0 (CT1350B) from 1994, fished out of a scrap pile, is playing […]| System Administration

The AWS N. Virginia (us-east-1) interruption on October 19–20 did more than set off pagers: it exposed how fragile an architecture can be when the control plane depends on a central “catalog” and that catalog vanishes overnight. Amazon’s post-mortem points to a root cause that any SRE will recognize: a race condition in DynamoDB’s internal […]| System Administration
