Also backups stored on the SAME VOLUME as the prod data? How fucking stupid do you have to be?

Oh yes, I skipped that part. Railway specifically explains their solutions are self-managed. If they were doing pgdumps to the same volume, that's on them.

If Railway loses business over this, they may have a libel claim. They'd never do it, but it wouldn't be invalid.

"It wouldn't be invalid" isn't the worst double negative in the world but it would be valid to say that it was unpleasant to read it when you could have used a less misdirecting choice of prose that wouldn't have had such a negative effect on my reading comprehension. That is to say that I could have enjoyed it less but I certainly didnt enjoy it as much as i could have if you hadn't used the double negative when a single positive wasn't any further from reach.

I used a litote on purpose to soften the meaning. As for your overall reply, not bad.

[–] el_abuelo@programming.dev 1 points 1 day ago

Totally valid, but leaves no room for me to do a stupid reply! Thank you for sharing litotes.

[–] lobut@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Just wanted you to know that I just learned what litote is, thanks to you.

I enjoyed these two sentences so much.

[–] el_abuelo@programming.dev 2 points 1 day ago

I appreciate the positive reinforcement, thank you

yes... lol people on HackerNews tend to do this a lot and it really does get annoying. it forces the reader to process what you're trying to say unnecessarily.

That's doesn't even really qualify as a backup. A snapshot, maybe.

I mean... Clearly quite a bit!

[–] JackbyDev@programming.dev 2 points 1 day ago

I think there's a place for that, but it really shouldn't be your only one.

I had better security vs ClawdBot than them, I gave it zero trust, ZERO.
