- Comment on A data center fire in South Korea sees 858 TB of government files and 'eight years’ worth of work' stored in the cloud go up in smoke 1 week ago:
Allegedly, backups simply couldn’t be kept, due to the G-Drive system’s massive capacity.
X Doubt. Things like S3 can also store massive amounts of data and still support backups or at least geo replication. It’s probably just a matter of cost.
But it gets worse. It turns out that before the fire, the Ministry of the Interior and Safety had apparently instructed government employees to store everything in the G-Drive cloud and not on their office PCs.
Which is totally fine and reasonable? The problem isn’t the order to use the centralized cloud system, but that the system hasn’t been sufficiently secured against possible data loss.

I would say most of us are not built for that. Seeing all this horrible shit the internet offers you can’t be good for anyones mental health. In this sense: congratulations on escaping the desensitization.

There’s a crowdsourced list of compatible banking apps which could give you a hint. My banking app kept working.
What doesn’t work is face unlock and contactless payment.l, e.g. Google Wallet. For the latter there may be workarounds, but I didn’t care.

I did the exact same thing, ignored the AI agent update and moved to Graphene. It really isn’t hard, the Web Installer is extremely handy.
For the migration I just made a list of my apps, created backups of those that needed one, installed GOS and reinstalled my apps. Nothing special.
- Comment on I’m in dire need of a new monitor but, it seems, it is harder to find a good one than I thought. 5 months ago:
Gaming is fine, I haven’t noticed any issues but I have to admit that I’m a casual gamer at most. The monitor supports FreeSync and refresh rates up to 165Hz.
I haven’t compared VA to OLED yet, but the latter costs at least twice as much where I live. For me personally, I don’t think that’s worth it. My previous monitor was a Samsung CF791 with Quantum-Dot but honestly I find the iiyama to have nicer colors. That’s highly subjective of course and the CF791 was released roughly 10 years ago, so take this with a grain of salt.

I’ve been using VA Panels for a long time because of that IPS glow. My current main monitor is a iiyama GCB3480WQSU-B1 and I’m pretty happy with it.

if the database “can’t handle it” […] that proves that they make poor choices.
Exactly, the database should never even have to handle the password in it’s original form and hashing algorithms don’t care about hashing special characters.

As a German I sadly agree.

They’re saying that the proposed gender change (in the docs) will most likely not be accepted. That’s still bullshit, but to insinuate transphobia based on this comment alone goes too far IMHO.
