Fuck the Cloud (2009)
>Don’t blow anything into the Cloud that you don’t have a personal copy of.<p>I don't understand this logic. Amazon's S3 offers service level agreements with failure rates that at one point implied the statistical likelihood of losing an object to be once in "thousands of years". When dealing with any sort of stable storage this is simply something I cannot offer. I couldn't produce a set up locally with the resources I have for making guarantees on the decade level let alone millennia.<p>With that said I keep personal copies, but the authoritative copy is what's in the cloud, because its a hell of a lot more stable.<p>TL;DR I hear this argument all the time. The cloud isn't perfect but its a hell of a lot closer to anything I could achieve. "not invented here" syndrome won't save your data.
