How can I be a happy chap in IT? Let me tell you about it:

* The RAID is a backup fallacy: RAID is for redundancy, NOT backups! (Seriously, people!)

* Neglecting backups: Data loss is tragic. Back up your precious files.

* Blind faith in backups: Test them! Know how long it takes to restore. Otherwise get ready for Schrödinger's backup 😉

In my experience, the RAID-fallacy has been replaced by the cloud-fallacy in most organisations these days.

I got to test my backups just this week. I was working on some scripts to try to provoke a ZFS bug and was developing on the target host (a Raspberry Pi.) I had put my development directory in the pool and without much forethought, destroyed the pool. 😬 Luckily for me, part of the testing involved sending the pool to another host so I just recovered the project from the backup host. 😀

Crazy thought, but what if nobody governed by tweet? Remember that? When tweets were just dumb thoughts that didn’t affect the entire country?

“Elon Musk used misinformation to fuel a government shutdown.”

News outlets & many people who post on X & other social media about Musk, give him a pass. Musk spews #disinformation on X, he lies & intentionally misleads his followers, as do many of his allies & Trump.

Elon Musk used misinformation to fuel a government shutdown

President Donald Trump’s billionaire ally Elon Musk used his outsize influence on X to help kill a bipartisan funding proposal that would have prevented a government shutdown, spreading multiple false claims in the process.

Actions have consequences — eventually:

"The United States Congress faces a Friday deadline to pass a budget for the 2025 fiscal year, or else face the shuttering of nonessential government functions."

"trump and his allies have pressured Republicans in the United States to ditch a short-term spending bill designed to avert a government shutdown."

Llevo un kimono rojo con adorno de gatos, una bufanda y un gorro de Papá Noel. Sujeto una taza de café con la mano derecha. Frente a mí está Iris, que lleva dos moños, gafas azuladas y un pantalón con chaqueta y unas botitas de nieve. Mi ayudante personal, Camember, nos mira de espaldas a la cámara.

"Whether it’s his posts in favor of the far-right party Alternative for Germany, which harbors Nazi sympathizers, his regular communications with Russian President Vladimir Putin, his support of neo-Fascist Italian leader Giorgia Meloni, or his enmeshment with the Chinese regime, where fully half of his Tesla cars are manufactured, Musk seems fully invested in enabling a new world order favorable to autocracy."

Russian disinfo network “Matryoshka” is migrating to Bluesky

The Russian disinformation network “Matryoshka” has launched a new campaign on the Bluesky social network. Eliot Higgins, founder of the investigative journalism group Bellingcat, has been one of the first researchers to detect its activity. So far, four Russian-made fake videos have been identified on the platform.

The Insider and Bot Blocker reported on a similar campaign in which anti-Ukrainian narratives were presented as coming from professors affiliated with globally renowned institutions — including Harvard University and the University of Cambridge. The professors’ voices were replicated using artificial intelligence (AI) tools — a fact that was verified by the University of Bristol, which at The Insider’s request analyzed a video featuring Ronald Hutton, a prominent British historian and faculty member.
