If you trust the cloud with your data, you're an anagram of omicron.
If you didn't build it, if you don't host it, if you aren't in control of it, it's the biggest risk you can take.
No techie I know trusts the cloud.
I'm a conservative techie and I know others who are, too, simply because they get shit done and haven't updated their email signatures to include their preferred pronouns.
Sure, there's plenty of leftists in the tech world as well, but they're easy to spot because they actually talk about politics. And when I say talk about politics, they spout whatever the MSM and big tech social media feeds them in their bubbles.
Man have I ever experienced that! Fortunately now I report up to a great executive. Funny how he is way better than his predecessor, but more humble.
It's funny sometimes; where I work they are very paranoid about proprietary information. To the degree that they didn't even want internet access (until confronted by the limitations that creates).
It's difficult to describe the mishmash of dos programs converted to windows with modern cloud apps combined with spreadsheets and various databases in a way to get across how they are a 60's company that's trying to modernize while skeptical of the risks of modernization.
Brilliant observation. I am astounded by this in my own corporate experiences. I call them the ‘book of the month club’.
I agree 100%. Sadly, these "Cloud First" and "Cloud Only" directives are coming in from the Private Equity/Venture Capital folks placed on Company Boards. The C-level Execs don't bother to argue with them... and downhill the directive rolls. This is nothing more than a centralization of power (via data gravity). Hell, most of the time the techie folks that are tasked with implementing things don't want to 'go to the cloud' but they are told that's all they are allowed to do.
Until the Boards and C-levels are cleaned up, the "Cloud" will continue to amass massive data from all manner of companies - to be silently data mined, exploited, insights sold to competitors, etc. -- of course, they'll never admit that this happens, but I've no doubt that it happens all the time.
They did it at my company, well tried, and its a disaster.
I work at a shop that's moved everything to Microsoft Azure Cloud. They're completely fucked if Azure suffers a massive outage.
Oh I know. Google had a big outage a week or so ago. We didn't fare well with that one. I try not to say things like I told ya so but it's just too obvious in some cases.
I see this all the time - I call it "over-extending into the cloud"... CTOs should be fired when this happens. It is actually VERY difficult to move into Public Cloud properly -- refactoring apps can take man-years and millions of dollars. Without a damn good reason (i.e. massive need for scalability, ala. Netflix) it makes little to no sense.
I am primarily storage these days and there is no cloud offering that I can find that has suitable disks for most of our workloads. It is ok for extra compute but then we have to find low or sub ms latency connections and it gets really complex and expensive really fast. Just so some C level can say "I took company X to the cloud", pad the resume, and get another 0 added to his paycheck at his next job. It's almost criminal if you ask me. These guys are grifters and care not for the companies they serve.
We are picking up the pieces from the guy who did that to us and is no longer at my company.
What you wrote has to be the most on-point expose of the cloud I've ever read. So well said! Thank you!
Cloud based computing reduces overhead costs a lot, its really no wonder they're flocking to it.
Only at very small scale. For a typical enterprise, I routinely find that a Private Cloud solution is 5x less expensive.
My son, who is a computer system analysist, told me not to put anything personal in the cloud.
He's right. Don't even use your cell phone # if you can avoid it. TFA "to protect your account" is the term used to get your cell # to join many large databases on. Be weary of giving that out for any service.
As cloud got traction and I was in the heart of silicon valley having worked on various pieces of technologies in various tech startups that, looking back, appear in a clear pattern of an invisible hand pushing the tech arena towards forcing people to store their data on the deep state computers - I have a nice appreciation of the way the Cabal works at glacial speed, even though its just one microcosm of the whole.
It started with the high speed routers, optical networks, efficient routing protocols etc during the dotcom era.
Then it was the influx of storage companies, creating huge storage management servers.
Finally it was just a question of moving these storage servers behind high speed routers at big data centres - and viola - you had "cloud".
When that final stage started happening, I used to go around telling others how much of a dumb idea it was, and no one would want to store their proprietary data on these cloud servers, and much to my dismay, I was as wrong about it as I was when I predicted no one would put their private information on sites like Facebook.
Both my predictions would have been correct, but for the invisible hands of the Cabal, always pushing humanity, slowly but steadily, in the direction it would never have gone on its own. Always.
Someone should just make a variant of linux and call it CloudDistro.. and it's an OS set up primarily for user-based cloud
Actually, one of the projects I am working on is allowing people to run their own cloud hosted wherever they want, completely under their own control, but supporting all the cloud applications people are used to running. Its a huge undertaking, and when it comes to applications, requires a lot of effort.
I'm not a techie (But I know far more than the average person), is there anyway I can help? Maybe send donation, or give moral support?
As an IT person, the "Cloud" is just Tech Communism, the centralization of computing power, and new gate keepers to the resources.
Damn that's a great way to phrase it!! 👍🏻🙌🏻
Wow, that explains how I feel about the "cloud". Never trusted it, can't see why others do.
I've been trying to tell people this for nigh on 25 years.
Yep - iz why i run my own servers.
The Cloud was just a catchy chatch phrase, of course it's always been stored on someone's servers somewhere? I've always backup on own hard drives in a fireproof safe. Never trusted the Cloud.
That explains why some of my stuff never shows up there.
People always look back in retrospect and wonder how things happened, or why they didn’t see something coming. Cloud computing will be one of these things.
In no scenario is it a bright idea to store all of your data in another country with a company that is administering from a third country. It’s not secure or even accessible if something goes wrong, you have almost no legal recourse, and it’s vulnerable to theft. But it’s a little bit cheaper, it has fancy marketing, and it has the full support of the establishment. Cant wait for people to be bewildered when something goes wrong.
I worked in a doctor's office several years ago, just when it was required to have computerized health records. I talked to the doc about it (he thought it was a huge pain in the butt), and he wanted to know about the cloud. I told him what it really was and it kinda freaked him out.
This!
I have never understood why people - even those who are awake and aware - are willing to upload so much information willy-nilly to 'the cloud' as if it's some sort of innocuous, nebulous, benevolent service put there for our comfort and convenience.
It's not benevolent. It's another way to harvest us. WE are the crop.
Important to remember as we store data and trust the 'cloud' to keep it safe.
Same goes for VPN...
Run your own server.
Lmao, people think it's secure lol.
It’s secure …. For them
YES!! Exactly this. LOL
This is so true!!!
I wish people would understand this........
The same applies to crypto exchanges.
I use cloud, but I encrypt everything personally before it goes up onto "the cloud."
Strong encryption is the only way I store things in a cloud environment.
If I don't manage it, I don't trust it.
It cracks me up how many companies I see think because they encrypt the data in the cloud it is safe... when they let the very same cloud company manage the keys!
Someone else’s computer are the server farms at Microsoft or Amazon, and who owns these 2 companies? Black Rock and VanGuard.
We just moved our electronic medical record system to the cloud....like all companies have been moving their data to the cloud.... All to control us and the companies....our heads are no longer in the sand.
I had a conversation with a co-worker, who insisted that I was wrong about the computer information being on a server somewhere, because it was in "the cloud."
Pedes on this thread: YOU ARE GOLDEN for me! I have been wrestling with a company that wanted to hire me - until I balked at storing my personnel data in their "cloud". I LOVE the (local) people who work there but I cringe at thinking about their personnel data being compromised. THANK YOU to every ONE of you!! I'm saving this whole page for future reference.
Got this on a shirt. Love peoples reaction to this. Also a coffee mug.
It's computing as a service, somewhere else, you just connect to it.
They just thought cloud sounded better I guess
...that you're assuming is trustworthy enough to have all your data.
Man, I'd love to own my own fancy pants Stratocumulus HDD.
Just buy a large external drive when it's on sale. Repeat enough, and like me, you can have your own 100+ TB of space to archive everything as Q instructed us to do. And if you save your money for few years, you can buy one of those petabyte Storinator storage devices.
Psychology is based on the same collecting for blackmail racket.
More like give us everything we need to not just blackmail you, but also understand human nature so we can also make others commit those crimes and blackmail them
