100%, I honestly wasn’t trying for a holier that thou attitude. Any snark was aimed at the higher ups in my professional life with that audit comment.

I too am guilty of having my personal stuff less than perfectly backed up. It’s better than most, but it is still not what it should be, so, that’s what I mean by it being so easy to not be backed up.

It is, but it also sucks that it is. I don’t know why people continue to have such blind spots, but given who and what is behind bluesky, why would anyone, ever think it was ever going to be open or anything but twitter 2.0?

I’m really baffled at why people are so unwilling to learn from history.

It’s so easy. I can’t tell you how many “backed up” environments I’ve run into that simply cannot be restored. Often people set them up, but never test them, and assume the snaps are working.

Backups are typically only thought about when you need them, and by then it’s often too late. Real backups need testing and validation frequently, they need remote, off-site storage, with a process to restore that as well.

Been doing this shit for 30 years and people will never learn. I’d guess 9 out of 10 backup systems that I’ve run into were there to check a box on an audit, and never looked at otherwise.

Honestly, I see the news, but no one has said yet just how and why the fuck the first lady presided over the fucking UN Security Council?

WTF? Why was this even a thing? The fuck is wrong with the UN?

Honestly, this is the moment where it feels hopeless. If this fucking asshole can put his hooker wife in front of the world, and the world capitulates... There's no one coming to help us, the epstien class has won, they have all the power and are rubbing our noses in it.

None of you are wrong, this is multiple levels of stupid. The dictator wants a war so he can cancel elections, the other even more genocidal dictator wants more genocide so they cook up a plan. These morons shop it to the white supremacist running the department of WAR, and he gets a raging jesus boner at the idea. So they all sit down and ask mecha-hitler for a plan..

That’s where we are.

So, back to where they came from then.

Yet somehow it was the “tea party” republicans that ultimately delivered all this bullshit.

And it’s all part of ai training data now too.

I used to wonder when I watched “Star Trek TNG” as a kid, how they could ask for and get such detailed biographical information of a long dead person, enough to recreate that person convincingly, in a holodeck. Well, I guess I have my answer.

I really thought I’d be living in something like the federation one day, instead I’m here boning up on the Ferengi Rules of Acquisition.

I haven’t been on facebook in like 10 years, but sounds like it’s exactly as I picture it.

That’s great info, thanks for the reply, seriously. It’s why I ask the questions and give you my reasons for them.

The part about the chemtrail types is because I have heard all kinds of arguments against them for tinfoil hat reasons. I’m very grateful to get some actual science.
