What happens when ONE “cloud” hiccup in Virginia slams the brakes on your life—smart beds trap sleepers, Alexa goes dumb, Venmo sputters, and enterprise apps face-plant? Frank & Dr. Dustin break down Monday’s AWS DNS outage, why the internet’s “old bones” (DNS/IPv4) still run everything, how dependency hell spreads a local failure worldwide, and whether Web3/IPv6/real decentralization can stop the next domino run.

Chapters below. Drop your wildest “my house broke when AWS sneezed” story in the comments. ⬇️

Chapter Breaks

00:00 – Cold Open: “This was Monday” doomsday (beds, banks, Blackboard)

00:50 – DNS for Normals: the internet’s phone book (and why it failed)

02:45 – Single Point of Failure? us-east-1 and the centralization problem

04:03 – “There is no cloud, it’s someone else’s computer” (and your bed’s on it)

05:21 – How a regional outage went global: dependencies & third-party calls

06:40 – SBOMs, supply chain, and internet-scale dependency hell

07:24 – Pi-hole story: when your home DNS goes down, everything stops

09:12 – Resiliency vs reality: why some services lived while others died

10:45 – The domino stack: uptime, TTLs, and stale DNS making pain linger

12:18 – Could IPv6 help? (and why we still haven’t adopted it)

14:25 – “Second-gen DNS”: what would a safer, faster resolver look like?

16:07 – Monopoly math: if busting big clouds won’t happen, what will?

18:47 – Web3/Blockchain as a decentralized DNS idea—promise & tradeoffs

20:13 – Tor ≠ the model: decentralization without the dark-web baggage

22:20 – AI as infrastructure: power, cost, and more single points of failure

23:53 – Why blockchain never got sexy (and why it still might)

26:24 – Ghosts in the machine? (Spooky season teaser)

27:54 – Wrap: what to do before the next Monday
