  • 3:2:1 - Cattle not pets - If your data is backed up in multiple sites, the death of one site shouldn’t overwhelm you, and give you time to recover.

    If your primary site drives are getting above their designed lifetime, rotate them out, sure - but they could be used as part of the backup architecture else where (like a live offsite sync location with enough tolerance for 2 disk failures to account for the age).

    3 copies of your data; 2 types of media; 1 copy offsite.











  • And if you’re one of the people who can crack a beer open with the owners of Google, then you found your right community.

    However, in the general case, I don’t think these count as any individuals communities. You can’t rub elbows with the people maintaining Google and Facebook. You can’t talk to them about issues you’re having, they’re not going to dynamically modify the system for special cases that are important to your community. A community is a group of people who know each other.







  • Yeah, to me it’s a absolute killer feature for a travel phone. The GOS discussion around it boils down to violating the android profile security model.

    E.x., im using a hotel wifi that only allows one device, or I have a esim for one phone only that doesn’t allow “tethering”.

    Fair enough on the security model, but at least give me the option… Maybe with a always on notification warning. Being paternalistic about how you think the phone will be used and in which context is overstepping for infrastructure

    I travel with a backup phone, and because of this I have calyxos on the backup and not gos.
