They have to comply with court orders. You can’t run a business and ignore the government and legal system; they will throw the book at you.

Don’t use proton to do anything that could be considered a crime in the EU.

They would 100% sabotage and try to derail the event. Ignoring them is the only logical solution.

If you use zfs for docker, dbs and vms you don’t have to shut down anything. Just snapshot and send/recv to sync snapshots to another ZFS drive.

You can even mount and copy the latest snapshot to the cloud with rsync/rclone; probably also borg/restic/kopia. Each applications state will be internally consistent if the snapshot is performed for all data at the same time. If you’re paranoid you can stop everything for a few mins to perform the snapshot, but it’s not really necessary.

Yeah, the fixation on Trump is just another indication of how cooked the US is.

The man is a certified moron who can barely read. Every single thing he’s ever signed has been written by the Epstein classes lobbyists, legal teams, and accountants; probably doesn’t even know what he’s signing 99% of the time. He’s just a vassal for corporate Americas fascist oligarchy, and seemingly any criminal willing to pay a bribe. Same with his entire nazi party.

This is basically guaranteed under late stage capitalism. As the richest of the rich accumulate a greater proportion of wealth they just buy more and more assets (when they’re not buying politicians, lobbyists, media empires, etc), artificially inflating the value of those assets well beyond what was ever possible in a competitive market.

They command so much wealth that they can increase the value of their existing assets just by buying more, driving up the value of those assets via reduced liquidity and artificial scarcity (see housing). It grants them greater and greater opportunity and power to manipulate markets and extract greater and greater profit margins from everyone poorer than they are. It’s a cruel, psychopathic system structured to benefit the most immoral, unethical, and undeserving of criminals.

She got arrested because America is a fascist dictatorship now.

Companies are built on deterministic, predictable processes and workflows. A stochastic tool which randomly hallucinates correlations as fact, absent of critical thought, introduces a huge amount of risk/uncertainty; especially regarding data security.

It’s not surprising most corporations aren’t seeing a productivity boost, because the product, tooling, and ecosystem are simply not at a level of maturity where they can be trusted with any core or critical tasks. When you add in the potential for significant future price increases, and other unknown impacts outside your control, choosing to voluntarily make your business dependent on some 3rd parties ever changing product sounds completely insane.

Don’t trust backblaze or any service that claims “unlimited”.

The overwhelming feedback I’ve seen is to “KISS” and use some combination of restic/borg/kopia and rclone to sync data or local backups to cloud storage like https://www.hetzner.com/storage/storage-box/.

Restic/borg are more for whole system backups, where kopia is more for data (a central kopia server/repository can deduplicate and version data from multiple machines). Rclone is good for syncing local backups to cloud services, or perhaps e2ee synchronisation between machines (though it doesn’t do versioning and multiple machines will cause problems).

This is the most flexible, long-term, as you can just update the storage backend and transfer or re-upload everything as necessary.

It’s like the wedding or funeral tax, where all items cost extra for no reason, other than exploitation.

America has been rotting from the inside since WW2 (MIC, FBI and CIA terrorism, etc), then supercharged with Reagan. Frankly, it’s surprising it took this long.

Capitalist dictatorship*, with the illusion of democracy. No different to the USSR or CCP and the illusion of workers owning the means of production.

*you can vote for whoever you want, but when “donations” from wealthy individuals and corporations have already pre-filtered and pre-positioned the majority of politicians, wealth has seized the means of democracy and created what is functionally equivalent to capitalist dictatorship, all but guaranteeing the political class represent their donors more than the entire working class.

Member when he posted a video of Obama and Michelle as chimps?

His “humor” is resoundingly fascist psychopath.

And the fascist oligarchy who run propaganda operations like Fox — now, most of Americas media — are to blame.

It’s not new, but the nazis are 100x more egregious… even more than Bush junior, who already deserved to be tried in the hague and imprisoned for life.

Wait… Are you implying that incest is actually banned in porn, and that’s why it’s always step-relations? I thought it was just because the majority are disgusted by incest… I don’t think actual incest is even illegal in most places…

It’s “bipartisan” because we live in capitalist dictatorships, and the fascist oligarchy have given their marching orders to the politicians they own.

Well, it’s not really different to supporting a genocidal fascist dictatorship and declaring everyone who supports their victims “terrorists”…

The world is an idiocracy and the majority of humanity are mentally ill. The world would not be as fucking stupid and insane as it is if the average person was logical.

The mental illness will continue until the empire collapses.

Late stage capitalism will end like the opening scene of the dark knight; the joker killing every one of his criminal accomplices, one by one, as soon as they have fulfilled their role (their value has been extracted).

It’s an apt analogy because all of these capitalists are mentally ill &/or criminals.

We’ve now added recursion to the fascist idiocracy
