If you add infrastructure then you will need to add more transmission methods then a couple shark chewed undersea cables. Then you might as well add the millions of SAs, technicians, linemen (linepersons?), etc that install and maintain everything. Oh and I guess we would also need all the institutions and teachers that train all these techies.

In all seriousness though, the core of the technical stack has become very robust in my opinion (DNS being the exception). From a hobbyist's perspective, things work much better than when the Web was still young. I can run multiple sites (some of them being what are today called apps) on a donation with subdomains, everything fast, HTTP3-capable, secured via valid free TLS certs, reverse proxied, all of that running on a system deployed in minutes...
If you focus on the part of the Internet that you have control over, it's a lot better than back in the simple days.
Usenet is still in use btw. And so is Nostr.
What about left-pad?
Not to spread concern or anything, but the electrical grid is managed and controlled by software. And that software may or may not be very reliant on AWS. I'm probably not allowed to say more than that.
We arrivied thus at the funny moment where meme is accurate enough to be used for educational purposes.
Look how little has to fail for whole web to decay, child xD
I dunno, looks overengineered to me.
It's missing a Saddam Hussein hideout
Can we please not make the layer above Electricity look like tombstones? I looked at "Linus Torvalds" and almost had a heart attack!
K&R?
I can only assume this (copy-pasted from wikipedia)
The C Programming Language (sometimes termed K&R, after its authors' initials) is a computer programming book written by Brian Kernighan and Dennis Ritchie, the latter of whom originally designed and implemented the C programming language, as well as co-designed the Unix operating system with which development of the language was closely intertwined
I can confirm, K&R is the book written by Kernighan and Ritchie. It is/was the Bible of the C language.
Amazon link if you're interested in the reviews.
What are green images in 4th row?
Me.
(Silly little fish snacking on internet noodles)
It's wonderful lmao...wait,i am wrong or did you snuck anti-nuclear propaganda in the meme? Bruh
I mean, thoughts on nuclear waste? They certainly need management, and I dunno if humans are good at waste management.
I think we don't really have problems with nuclear waste management right now, at least i think in europe, idk about America or Asia so please tell me if i am wrong.
And risk mangement.
We do have one in Germany. While we are searching for suitable long term storage, the barrels are rusting away in salt mines.
Okay i have to search about this, why the hell the barrels are in salt mines tho? 😭
Salt is plastic and over time will completely engulf the waste.
Haha especially the angry bird is genius
What a horrible title. Maybe it's time to start using git
Or Fossil😅😅
