Can I get a punnett square for this?

If you’re into self hosting at all check out caliber-web, which uses a calibre-compatible db/backend but a web-based fronted. I switched about 3 years ago after importing my old calibre db and never looked back (household is doing around 90 books/year)

Another fucking slap on the wrist. “The payment will be distributed in annual instalments over a 10-year period.” It’s literally a rounding error for them. I assume this is the same lawsuit as the teen addiction one, where the states had asked for $1.4T in damages - in which case this would amount to literally 1% of the request and add insult to injury.

Can they please “fuel a push” for indictments instead?

I use piefed (and/or my own custom lemmy app), so dupes and comments show up as merged so there’s no issue. When I post, I often try to pick a big instance (for engagement) and a small, relevant instance (to promote local)

(I just picked June 4 1989 randomly, ofc.) 🤣

Considering how much damage Google et al do, I legitimately wonder whether China could even do worse, and I’m not even a tankie.

Oh, we’re a bit ahead of schedule – we’re only in the Year of Our Ford 120

My vote: Moxie Marlinspike

Who’s to say they didn’t though? With the possible exception of not checking the IT company’s financial health (and maybe they did but decided it wasn’t a risk), the process worked as intended. They outsourced their storage and backups. The data is still stored and backed up. They were able to follow a remediation protocol (ie speaking to the judge) to regain access.

This would be highly efficient.

Having worked with huge, slow organizations before, they probably had a mandate in place to outsource this kind of thing, and nobody in-house to evaluate the solution, so they picked an “expert” company who then went out of business.

Yeah that’s what I’m saying. Even if you’re not using one of the big providers there’s a good chance they’re going to be at least handing it on its way to your self-hosted inbox, and its contents are unencrypted while they’re handling it (unless you encrypt the contents yourself). So there’s not much benefit to self hosting email if your goal is to keep your data out of big tech’s hands (and if that is your goal, don’t send anything important with email)

I might be out of the loop on how email works, but doesn’t it hop between several other email servers on its way from Alice to Bob (and at least some of it must still be unencrypted)? If so and given google’s scale you could probably just assume that even if they’re not your inbox they’re going to be at least handling many if not most emails along the way.

The data is all still there. They were using a subcontractor (who went under) that stored the data at Iron Mountain. Since the subcontractor was the customer and not PBS, PBS needs a judge to declare that they own the data so they can retrieve it from Iron Mountain.

Still, 3,2,1, folks.

The data is all there, the vendor they were using to manage the storage just went OOB, and they’re not yet being allowed to retrieve it from the vendor’s storage vendor, Iron Mountain:

The lawsuit filed in Denver District Court alleges that the station’s cloud-storage vendor, Open Source Storage, abruptly cut off access to Nine PBS’ data earlier this year without warning. It states OSS, which had a separate relationship with Iron Mountain to provide data storage, went “defunct,” leaving Nine PBS’ archives in a data center operated by Iron Mountain.

Eagerly awaiting part 2 while I try to recall the original storyline without rolling my eyes too hard.

Not true. I just shouted “ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME” and now people are looking in my direction and whispering.

It’s much harder to arrest someone for “normal reaction “

If they have marching armies of weaponized death machines they will also definitely have unlicensed nuclear reactors.
