Canada’s also monthly. I’ve spent some time in Aussie land, they do weekly instead.

I prefer monthly so I only have to stress out about being kneecapped financially once a month instead of 4x a month.

Do it again but with grocery prices and housing!

That just hit me in the olds. Kids today are grown ups that can drink in America and it was after 9/11

Yeah but these are cops, not trained soldiers. Lower those standards!

Apparently the US government does, otherwise they’d have changed it…

More than anything, replace that rootkit with non kernel level anticheat

Doesn’t even make sense, there’s no PVP, why add a rootkit level anticheat?

Pass from me unless/until it’s fixed I think.

If there’s no PvP, why do they need a rootkit for anticheat?

Pretty sure that’s what ultra high concentrates of salvia do to you.

Just use something like acuity and save yourself the hassle entirely? Why does it need to be self hosted?

There is no value in spaghetti piled on top of rotten spaghetti. Tech iCal debt is real and if you’re just shippin it and plan to fix it later, y’all gonna have a bad time. Nothing more permanent than a temporary workaround.

Most do, yes but best to have at least a passing knowledge in security practices before doing that. At the very least, ensure that whatever you get supports 2FA for user logins and has a track record of patching vulnerabilities quickly. IMO, I wouldn’t trust a WD device after their massive hack that killed their service for 10 days.

Maybe check a Synology or QNAP device.

All storage media fails HDD or SSD. Focus on a backup plan, not your media type.

‘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.

have the author address issues after the merge.

Hahahahahahaha. Sorry, you’ve merged, next ticket, PM needs shiny results for execs this QBR!

This is how bug backlogs grow.
