There is no downtime in Ay Dablyu Es
a photo instead of a screenshot counts as wrong in my book 😂
Meh, I don't use Lemmy on my work computer.
So exfiltrate a screenshot to your phone?
Likely more trouble than it’s worth. I know attempting that would get me flagged at past employers. Why chance it?
eh? what do you mean get flagged? like IP theft?
Flagged for investigation. Not necessarily for any specific thing, but exfiltrating data is a huge no no in many industries, and at many past employers of mine was a terminable offense, even if it was innocent.
I’m doing cloud migration now and one of assumptions is that two regions in Americas is enough for resilience. I’m in danger
Usually people here migrate away from clouds...
It’s not like I’m deciding on customer’s IT policy
The amount of software that is limited free self-hosted but the next tier of "self hosted" is enterprise and thousands per year is ridiculous.
Absolutely ridiculous.
Like, you have self hosted. I like your software, I use it personally and that's why I'm using it for (and recommending it to) small businesses. They could afford your 10-100 per month for whatever extra features, but they don't want to rely on 3rd party hosting. They want to host it themselves.
But the only way to get those features is to go for some "cloud" bullshit they don't control, or to pay "enterprise" prices.
It's why I make part of what I make/charge a contribution to the products and projects I use and recommend.
I'll set all that up and tailor it to your company, but anything and everything I recommend/implement is standing on the shoulders of giants. So pay those giants.
Although I think I'm lucky with the people I work for, in that that are interested in the tech, but not the detail.
No major incident. Just a lot of minor ones
How far does it need to go to be a major incident?
Wasn't there a community gor nonsensical error messages?
I didn't look into it much as I was busy with something unrelated. I just suddenly started getting a bunch of error reports from an app we have running on Compute Engine.
