Netflix's Chaos Monkey: Embracing Failure for Resilience

Chaos Monkey is an innovative tool developed by Netflix as part of their Simian Army suite of testing tools. It deliberately introduces failures into your cloud infrastructure to test system resilience and recovery capabilities. Chaos Monkey works by randomly terminating instances in your production environment. This might sound counterintuitive, but by forcing failures to occur, it helps…

Hello! I really like on how you styled y/n cookie from my last request and I appreciate that! But I’m wondering if you could dress them up in different styles from the other kingdoms?

(Also make sure to take care of yourself, your wellbeing should always come first!)

Thank you for the kind words ♡ I hope I did your prompt justice ^^

Here's a lil alt one for dress y/n ^^

putting aside being sad about binghe for now, I was looking for the first time sqq directly compares binghe to a maiden, and as far as I can tell, the first time he calls him a maiden is this part:

To push him away during this moment would be like giving a young maiden -- one who'd finally worked up the courage to call and brokenheartedly weep to an older sister for comfort and encouragement -- a face-turning slap. It was really a bit cruel. (Chapter 11 in vol. 2 of the English translation)

this stands out to me because this is shortly after he finally realized binghe is attracted to him, while he's still grappling with the fact that he's "turned binghe gay." it's yet another example of sqq equating being gay with femininity -- he knows binghe is into men now, and thus begins him repeatedly referring to binghe's behavior as that of a maiden's

but the other thing that stands out to me about this quote is that sqq is also making himself a girl in this metaphor. I know the translation is probably lacking here and he's probably using jiejie to mean generic older female friend as opposed to jiejie meaning older sister, but still. shen qingqiu, why are both of you girls in this mental metaphor. hello. shen qingqiu are you aware that making both of you girls does not make it any less gay. shen qingqiu are you listening to me. shen qingqiu yes it's still gay when you're both girls

There’s nothing more satisfyingly productive than coming into an empty library in the morning and leaving only when it closes.

In other words: it has been a long weekend of studying.

This used to circulate on Tumblr a lot back in the day, but I haven't seen it in ages. It's an animation talk test done by Jin Kim for when they were working on the movie.

I love how much emotion there is, how her expressions and mood shift so dramatically through what she's saying.

On this day 208 years ago, Jane Austen passed away in Winchester aged 41.

(Plaque via; grave via)

There have been decades upon decades of debate about what caused her death and I'm afraid there will inevitably be decades more, but such speculation will sadly never change the fact that she died at such a tragically young age. In the rush to know why she passed away, the very fact that this genius was taken from us far too soon is often neglected in this quest to explain an event that will remain, due to the time elapsed, inexplicable.

While I will always be grateful for the six completed novels we have and the fragments of Sanditon and The Watsons, plus her juvenilia... it's utterly heartbreaking to think how much more she could have written had she lived and continued to develop her craft, and how much more recognition and acclaim she would eventually have received and enjoyed as she deserved to.

But Jane Austen was much more than just an author to those who knew and loved her; she was a daughter, a sister, a cousin, an aunt and a friend to so many.

Although few letters survive that were penned by those that knew her, I appreciate that some from her beloved sister Cassandra Austen, written shortly after Jane's death, have survived because they provide a beautiful insight into the close bond between the two sisters. Cassandra expresses a particularly touching sentiment which I think we can all relate to... that sense of hoping somehow Jane Austen knows how much her works mean to so many of us and how much we mourn her, even so many years later in 2025, the year that marks 250 years since her birth.

I think about this quote from the letter Cassandra wrote to her niece Fanny Knight on 19th July a lot, but I will be thinking about it in particular today:

Nothing of the sort could have been more gratifying to me than the manner in which you write of her, and if the dear angel is conscious of what passes here, and is not above all earthly feelings, she may perhaps receive pleasure in being so mourned. [via The Republic of Pemberley]

To think that Jane Austen died without ever having any true understanding of how groundbreaking her novels were, of how adored her stories and characters were is too upsetting... so I like to think that wherever she is, she somehow knows how much she is adored and mourned by so many.

It’s the most honest job Stan’s ever had.

Sure, the company he’s working for is downright diabolical, scamming their customers in all aspects of life, but that’s not Stan’s problem.

As Le Ville Corp’s most successful customer service agent in the Oregon area his only job is to follow the company guidelines, sell as many bad deals as possible and never ever let anyone back out of a contract. 

Morality aside, nothing the company does is actually illegal, so at the end of the day Stan gets to collect his almost-minimum-wage-sized paycheck and go home in the knowledge, that no pigs will come knocking on his door anytime soon.

Life is good. Or at least as good as it gets where Stan is concerned. Last month he even got a raise for selling every bad product the company had to offer to one poor kind sucker. 

From household appliances to car insurance, magazine subscriptions and even their extremely shitty telephone and electricity contracts - the McGucket guy brought it all.

Thanks to him, Stan could upgrade from his car to an almost black mold free one room appartment with a community bathroom one block over.

Stan was finally moving up in the world and then his phone rings. He recognises the number. It’s his good friend Fiddle-not-gonna-say-the-rest McGucket.

Stan grins and cracks his knuckles. It’s about time McGucket figured out he’s gotten scammed. Time to make the poor guy’s life a living hell. No one is getting out of a contract on his watch.

“Thank you for calling Le Ville Corp. For us you are more than just a customer. You are family! This is Piers. How can I help you today?”

The moment Stan starts his greeting, he is bombarded with noise disturbances from the other side.

Ah, the good old Le Ville Corp telephone network working as intended. Maybe Stan can convince the guy to upgrade to a slightly less egregious version. 

Wait, what did he say?

His name is Dr. Stammered Lynes? Weird, but okay. Still better than Fiddle-nope-not-saying-it Hardon McGucket.

As it turns out, Stan finally met the mysterious roommate whose money McGucket has been using to pay for all of their products. Stan didn’t think the guy had it in him to ditch his roommate after the scam got discovered. Good for him!

Now, how to best screw Dr. Lynes here over.

***

An hour and a half of data security safety questions and a new phone contract later the doc hangs up to Stan’s cheery and corporate mandated farewell:

“And don’t forget we here at Le Ville Corp consider you our forever family, because you will stay with us forever!”

Stanford Pines just had the worst month of his life [not counting the weeks after the science fair that he refuses to think about].

The portal test was a disaster, his partner left, his muse refuses to explain himself and on top of all of that his new fridge won’t open, because this week’s subscription fee hasn’t been paid yet.

What the f-FIDDLEFORD!
