"What actually happened was that a minor instability, possibly caused by a solar farm, spiraled into a bigger problem when conventional generators (most of them gas-fired) failed to supply the grid-balancing services they’d been paid for. That in turn caused swaths of power plants to disconnect to protect themselves, similar to what happens in your home when the fuse box trips."

Yesterday, for the first time in the modern history of Spain, the whole country was left without electricity and with the communications of the end of the analog era.
Children had to play ball in the parks, families had to have barbecues in the parks and play board games... And I had to read a book. Going back to the 20th century was hell!

If there's anything we could learn from yesterday's #SpainBlackout is that running software on the cloud that could run locally... is a terrible idea.
#LocalFirst software should be prioritised by companies and public administrations.
I don't think Spanish people will learn the lesson this time (I'm Spanish, so I know what I'm talking about from first hand experience).
I foresee some small groups will react, and start spreading the word, but it will take many other disasters like this one for people to finally understand.
