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.

I enjoyed these two sentences so much.

[–] JackbyDev@programming.dev 1 points 29 minutes ago

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

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

I mean... Clearly quite a bit!

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