First, if you have more than one disk, you should be either getting redundancy through mirroring, or building arrays of several disks with redundant methods like RAID5 / RAID6 / ZFS zraid2.
Second, no single copy of data is safe, you must always have recent, tested backups.
Precisely. Not sure why their example isn’t being replicated in every city and suburban town.
Why not just build tiny homes? Built to code, 200sqft, well insulated, power, running water, and phone/internet, close to public transit. A fixed address with access to a social worker and a nurse on site, and the ability to get back up on their feet.
The idea would be to give people something between ‘tent’ and ‘apartment’ as transitional housing. Nobody freezes to death, nobody gets caught in the rain and loses everything they own. A community centre for socializing / education / laundry / showers, etc. There’s a ton of unused / underutilized lots in most cities - buildings ready for demolition, behind on taxes, and better used to deal with the housing crisis.
This isn’t rocket surgery. Someone please take this idea and run with it!
I mean, if I were an opponent of the USA, I’d be celebrating. Putin and Xi accomplished the total and complete destruction of the USA by simply amplifying the worst voices. No shots fired, no military deployment. Osama bin Laden would be spinning in his grave if he weren’t buried at sea.
