'There's two kinds of people in this world, those that have backups, and those who will'

Welcome to the club, and sorry for your loss.

There's lots of practices around backups with different levels of complexity and costs. Before deciding on how you want to handle things going forward ask yourself a few questions

  1. How important is this data? Is it irreplaceable?
  2. How much data do I have to backup?
  3. How do I want to control it? Locally? Cloud services?
  4. What budget do I have to do this with?

In some cases, it's cheaper and less headache to use cloud backup services for smaller amounts of data, with the downside being that you're trusting someone else with your data.

In others, setting up your own DAS(direct attached storage) or NAS (network attached storage) might make sense, then you manage the data locally. You should do some reading to understand the basic concepts of RAIDs 1,0,5 and 10 and how they affect data redundancy.

Lastly, consider if a 3-2-1 (The 3-2-1 rule states that you should have 3 copies of your data (your production data and 2 backup copies) on two different storage types with one copy off-site for disaster recovery.) back up policy makes sense for you and your risk tolerance. Some absolutists will state you have no real backup without it, but IMO there's some grey area there depending on different needs and risk tolerances.

The important part is you're now considering options to reduce your chances of experiencing this again.

Microsoft will embrace (extend and then extinguish) them all with OpenArms.

Sounds more like their definition of AI stands for Artificial Incompetence to me.

"Wasted precious staff time?" If only ABC had a plan on how they expect to solve a housing crisis without checks notes having city staff work on the problem...

We can't even get ICEs under 10k these days, it's wildly unthinkable to expect we'd manage it with EVs.

As for everything costing more, this is capitalism, every business out there is trying to extract every dollar they can from consumers. Until and unless a paradigm shift happens (ex: we stop trusting the private sector to solve issues, like housing for instance) we'll keep getting what we've been getting.

I see Lemmy has implemented Reddit's security settings. Impressive.

It doesn't surprise me to read this, but it does surprise me you'd write it without citing sources. Got any you can share to help others educate themselves?

At this rate though, the federal government is about to result in the fall of the federal government.
