Is it just me or does this article scream AI written? Specifically the line “ This decision emphasizes the seriousness of the error and its impact on the hiring process.” Like, no human would deem it necessary to repeat this information like this.

Also, title: "Entire HR team terminated".

First paragraph: "This led to the firing of half the HR department."

Either this error is due to clickbait purposes, or AI

Any love for Windows. I'm getting restless to ditch putty but unable to find any good emulator that has select and login style of management screen.

Apparently it works great on WSL

I was surprised to see github.com in the list. I would generally expect them to be earlier adopters of new technology.

You got the wrong conclusion from your argument. IPv6 is older than some of HN's audience.

I'm going to guess that git is not your VCS of choice for this language
baaym commented on A different and often better way to downsample your Prometheus metrics   blog.timescale.com/blog/a... · Posted by u/LoriP
baaym · 4 years ago
Years ago I had a Graphite installation where I configured retention policies, and the same for InfluxDB if my memory doesn't fail me.

The downsampling feature at first glance seems to serve a different use case than Prometheus was built for, which I think is observability and alerting for a relatively short time period. For systems that need to work with years of data it totally makes sense, but I don't think Prometheus is used in those cases.

Since this feature has been built for a reason however, I could be wrong

btrfs does have some advantages over zfs

   - no data duplicated between page cache and arc
   - no upgrade problems on rolling distros
   - balance allows restructuring the array
   - offline dedup, no need for huge dedup tables
   - ability to turn off checksumming for specific files
   - O_DIRECT support
   - reflink copy
   - fiemap
   - easy to resize

> ”Ubiquiti had negligent logging (no access logging on databases) so it was unable to prove or disprove what they accessed”

Perversely, this is exactly the logging that you want to have in place in case of a breach.

You can then (factually) make the statement that ”we have no evidence any customer data was accessed.”

Ironically they can factually make that statement now as well.

rsync.net is expensive because they are more of a "cold-storage be-all and end-all" data sink. Their backend is AWS, and so the cost reflects that. I might be wrong on this, but I think they use Glacier.

Here, we are pretty much providing a datacenter hookup for your hard-drive. If that hard-drive fails, we can ship it to you for recovery, but that's on you.

The idea for this site is that most people with ZFS pools already have a mirror/RAIDZ setup at home, and would enjoy the peace of mind if they had one-extra data-sink to send their snapshots.

Therefore, true data-loss will occur if:

  * Their house burns down

  * AND the remote zfs.rent hard drive fails
...all at the same time.

Personally, I live about 20 minutes aways from my parents' house. I have two separate ZPools (one for my place, one for theirs). I sync the two every time I visit.

I wanted an extra cloud machine to sync to once a week or so -- you know, in case Northern California fires really get out-of-hand :/

---

EDIT: I went to rsync.net just to double-check. It looks like they are running their own infrastructure now.

https://www.rsync.net/products/locations.html

Maybe my memory is going haywire, but I swear I remembered reading that they used AWS as their backend.

Perhaps you're confusing rsync.net with tarsnap? When I compared services for my personal off-site backup I came across Tarsnap and their AWS-based infra as well.

I ended up using rsync.net with borgbackup.
