No offsite backups? This is a data 101 screw up.

No halon system? I was born at night, just not last night. This stinks like a full shitter on a hot summer day.

I got an email earlier from Fidbak:

The data center (SBG2) which hosted our data server (files and images) was completely destroyed by the fire and unfortunately all data was lost.

We had a backup server, but in the same building, so it was destroyed as well.

Hilarious.

Explain to me again why big cloud is the way to go, , , , , , ?

Because you can easily and automatically put your data in multiple data centers located throughout the world.

If all your data is in one data center you are clouding incorrectly.

That explains a lot. There's this French search engine that I used to use, and it didn't work at all. I was like WTF? Did they ban me?

Qwant? It works fine for me. Besides Yandex and engines that are infrequently up, it is not zogged like Duckduckgo and Startpage.

Do you suppose that's where the off-shored US election data was stored?
How convenient.

>Fires that consume an entire data center building in this fashion are rare due to the industry’s standard use of data center fire suppression technology, which is designed to detect smoke and then deploy suppressants (either water or chemical agents) to extinguish the fire and contain the damage to a small area.

"rare" as in it never fucking happens.

Anyone who has been inside a datacenter knows better.

I remember trying to create an account there. They asked me to verify my identity several times to the point that I just didn't want to do business with them anymore.

I instead chose another host that wanted my money instead of my life story.
