Asked earlier why everyone puts their resources in us-east-1 when that's the only DC I've know to crash. Anyone?

My Lightsail instance running a PiHole is in west-1 or west-2, I forget, no issues today.

"Global" services like CloudFront and Route53 are really us-east-1 under the hood with replication to other regions.

These fuckers need to stop using LLMs to generate code when they need things to function with precision.
