kralcttam ☕️@kralcttam@mastodon.social (2026-09-26 18:47:31) Happy Stanislav Petrov day!Reply
Today marks 43 years since Petrov decided to wait for confirmation before escalating a missile alert up the chain of command in the Soviet Air Defense, preventing nuclear war.
A hero for not trusting automated systems fully.
