Welcome to the Fediverse. 👋

NotMyOldRedditName , to RedditMigration in What niche communities are you all looking to find/found here on lemmy?

A lot of talk about local AI using local Llama happens on reddit, including troubleshooting things and what works well and what doesn't and all the latest stuff.

There are a couple small magazines that do have some info, but the depth of technical discussions and latest things aren't there, and it's beyond my knowledge to be contributing like what's there.

So I'm still having to check reddit on occasion but its only every few days now to just help see what's going on vs multiple times daily on the topic before.

I hope the more knowledge people move here somewhere.

Hello

Ketchup , to Sysadmin in [slight rant] This is a reminder to be careful with data in the "cloud"

I thought that legally the server side had to retain emails for 5 - year terms particularly for legal situations. If google were subpoenaed I believe they would hav two provide

Snowplow8861 ,

What makes you think that? Which country and law says that it’s the cloud providers responsibility, and not the company in question?

Where I am, there’s law that says architects need to keep building drawings for 99 years. That’s not up to autodesk. That’s up to the architecture firm using autodesk products.

Ketchup ,

It happened to an IT client of mine. He attempted to delete 10 years of cloud files and emails on google to escape forth coming legal troubles about a year in advance. The accounts were deleted. Long before I was involved. He thought he could get away with it. It was at that point that I learned that wasn’t the case. At least with all of his google files, and any email he sent over another AOL account going back five years.

I figured that made sense. Ofcourse shady people will try to cover their digital tracks.

Snowplow8861 ,

Ok so two things here: you were probably never privy to the legal costs associated with Google being required to do a re-discovery. Google makes no promise to backup your data though there are provisions to restore things from the trash. Eg emails and files lost or deleted recently. Google then also have tools for you to do some of this work yourself eg: workspace.google.com/products/vault/ which meets your company legal requirement if you configure and pay for it. Again that’s not backup, that’s archive for legal discovery but lines can get blurry when multiple tools which solve different issues can effectively do the same thing.

Issue two: As an administrator there’s no denying even if they did you still wouldn’t have followed the backup 3-2-1 rule. You never had something on a medium not google even if you thought there were three copies and you consider Google replication to at least two physical sites.

To be honest I’m not experienced with Google but this is the normal expectation of cloud services. If you don’t have explicit terms of agreement to data recovery in a disaster, then you probably don’t have it.

Ps: I’m going to imagine your former boss paid a lot of additional fees, lawyer fees, google fees and court fees if it really had to be recovered that way. Nothing comes for free.

I’ve my own experience with Microsoft not having backups and directors not understanding that Microsoft explicitly do not promise backups. A user mailbox got delicensed, but when it was delicensed, the mailbox didn’t reattach. In the end it never came back after using our Gold partnership and paid support. We even had the guid. It was lost forever.

I reconstructed much of the mail, other mailboxes in the tenancy had emails from them or to them or were either cc or BCC so doing enough discovery I could eventually restore about 75% of the mail by getting the same email but from other mailboxes.

Nobody has ever doubted using a backup solution is required since.

Ketchup ,

Thank you for sharing those additional details. The individual in question had an interesting background, an officer leaving a publicly traded tech company during the dot com bubble and returning to face a massive lawsuit with involving all his former partners. The fact that everyone associated with the company was subpoenaed suggests a comprehensive investigation. Perhaps it was the clients profile?

Regarding the individual’s attempt to delete correspondence, it’s challenging to ascertain the exact reasons for the data being provided to legal. Several factors might have played a role, such as the timing of the lawsuit, data retention policies of the tech companies involved, and legal obligations to cooperate with investigations going on while this individual was sailing the world for a decade completely disconnected from his past involvement with that entity. I was never privy to more information, so it’s hard to determine if it was related to the person’s identity or simply what they did.

As for data deletion, tech support informed me that deactivating or deleting said m accounts and waiting for a significant period (5-years) might ensure complete deletion. However, the companies explained that they had their own data retention policies (mid 2010s) that could impact the extent of data removal even after the user made such attempts. And the user couldn’t count on it being really gone due to those retention policies.

The outcome was that at least enough of his data was recovered to be condemning.

I have had other similar experiences with retention of deceased’s data. However I do not have expert knowledge on how each of on the specific practices of the companies involved.

I'm looking for a base building game community! Since I'm creating a base building game it feels slightly unethical to create it...

    e_t_ Admin , to Literature in What are you reading? (July 2023)

    I'm on book 7 of the Toradora light novel series. I liked the anime, but the level of verbal abuse between the characters in the novels really makes me wonder why they're friends. I'm not finding it enjoyable to read about people insulting each other.

    themeltingclock , to Home Improvement in What is a good situation to use a tankless water heater?

    In that case, I would assume they’re talking about how cold the incoming water would be.

    I used a tankless in a zone five area where our incoming water in the winter was often below 60 degrees. You’ll have to compare the charts of input temp and output GPH to determine how it would work for your specific use case.

    I used an indoor mounted one, but there are tankless models intended for places like CA and AZ where they can be mounted outside.

    We liked the endless hot water - we only had one bath and three people, so we offer were bumping against the 60 gallons of our old tank model.

    Thorosofbeer OP ,

    Our biggest issue is that we have a huge hot water heater that takes up a whole closet. We like to down size. An indoor one would be fine. What are zones?

    arditty ,

    That’s why we installed a tankless unit, it freed up an entire utility closet because we were able to tuck it in to a pretty small space while still respecting the required clearances. The only downside we’ve had was initial cost, and the yearly flushing process, which really isn’t bad if you install the correct valves from the beginning. Takes about 30 min. a year, which is worth it for endless hot water. Our gas bill has also been lower too.

    talentedkiwi ,

    I’m assuming they’re referring to hardiness zones

    Frostcoins , to Star Trek in Server version too low for Jerboa

    I can recommend the webapp wefwef.app Just open it in browser and “install as app” So far it’s the only one that has a bunch of features even if it is a web app. And it has gestures for hiding posts too so you don’t have to keep seeing the same posts everytime!

    timdesuyo , to RedditMigration in What's your opinion on cross-posting?

    Reddit just put itself at the end of the content website human centepede. Why bother re-inserting the 6-time digested poop somewhere further up the centepede?

    PeepinGoodArgs , to Ask Science in Dehydration: How exactly does it kill you?

    This was the response I got from Perplexity.ai.

    The tl;dr is from there, too:

    Dehydration can lead to death through mechanisms such as organ failure, blood thickening and reduced blood pressure, electrolyte imbalance, brain swelling, shock, and build-up of cellular waste.

    Electrolyte imbalances and upset balance of salts and sugar can cause impaired cellular function, heart problems, neurological issues, kidney damage, and shock, ultimately leading to death.

    scotchedpommes , to RedditMigration in What is happening with Infinity for Reddit currently?
    @scotchedpommes@lemmy.world avatar

    …it just showed me the newest feed, like it did before. What is going on here?

    Seems it could be because the new API rate limits weren’t actually implemented on the 1st. They’re going to be enforced in “the coming weeks”.

    I’d been looking into why another app (Boost, which will be shutting down) is still running as well.

    UnhappyCamper , (edited )
    @UnhappyCamper@kbin.social avatar

    Yes, Infinity and Relay still working makes sense since they are going subscription model, but Boost still functioning is an anomaly.

    Edit: Apparently as per a post on r/boostforreddit which references a post on r/redditdev, Reddit said the API changes would take place over the coming weeks. Not completely on July 1st.

    Books.

    For real though, I’ve been meaning to read Red Rising and East of Eden. It’s been too long since I’ve read a book lol
