Tetra Images/Getty Images The question now isn't what's wrong with what cloud service, it's what service isn't down? There's a storm in the air where I'm writing, but it's nothing like the one roiling the clouds at this time. Across the social networks, there are numerous reports that Amazon Web Services (AWS), Google Cloud, and Cloudflare, the content delivery network (CDN), are all down.

Why Denmark is dumping Microsoft Office and Windows for LibreOffice and Linux

Alexander Farnsworth/Getty Images Denmark's Minister of Digitalization, Caroline Stage, has announced that the Danish government will start moving away from Microsoft Office to LibreOffice. Why? It's not because open-source is better, although I would argue that it is, but because Denmark wants to claim "digital sovereignty."

As the Kernel Turns: Rust in Linux saga reaches the “Linus in all-caps” phase

Rust, a modern and notably more memory-safe language than C, once seemed like it was on a steady, calm, and gradual approach into the Linux kernel. In 2021, Linux kernel leaders, like founder and leader Linus Torvalds himself, were impressed with the language but had a "wait and see" approach. Rust for Linux gained supporters and momentum, and in October 2022, Torvalds approved a pull request adding support for Rust code in the kernel.
