Edit: it appears to be a mistake, so I’m not making any changes for now. Either way, I still ❤️Fastly for the support they’ve given me and the capabilities their services provide.
Original:
Oof. I have to make some changes to infosec.exchange and related services - I just got a massive bill from Fastly. I’m hoping it’s a mistake, but I can’t afford to risk it not being a mistake so will be working to reroute traffic through a server in Hetzner.

in reply to Jerry 🦙💝🦙 • • •sigh. i fucking hate that shit, man. i just got to do that with tesla. we had an outage last week and the powerwalls just 'didnt do shit'. i called and asked about it and apparently:
- there is a new feature for manual or automatic backup that a user can toggle
- it defaulted to manual
- it doesnt show up in my app anywhere
- i had to wait on hold for 90 mins, twice, to have them toggle it for me
fuckin useless, these people

in reply to Jerry 🦙💝🦙 • • •hey who knows maybe they decided to let an LLM do shit.
im pretty sure thats what happened to me that one time a couple years ago that paypal 'fired me as a customer' when i paid one of my massage therapists without any warning or cause or explanation, and nobody cared until i made a big fuss on twitter about it and krebs noticed. someone came to fix it, but refused to say anything other than 'our machine learning ai made a mistake'.
but now i know.
they were using an llm
it was high

in reply to Paul Chambers🚧 • • •@paul yeah that sorta thing suggests someone fucked up internally, either via misclassifying the account, or not noting it correctly, or a code push/change caused it to barf because its a comped account
no matter how you slice it, this telegraphs 'some shit changed under the hood' to me, be it because a person did something, or a process changed, or something to that effect

My brain thought you used Bunny.net though for some reason.

I’ve enjoyed Hetzner for the most part. Though I keep this server in Helenski.

Maybe I am cranky2.
