Ross Judice: Inside the Superdome during Katrina, 'There was no playbook'

Stop trusting cloud service providers so much.

This screenshot from a post on Threads is a great example of the kinds of real-world problems people (and companies) experience when they use a cloud-only architecture, through ignorance or intentional design.

Every person, and every company, needs to design their data systems architecture so that they have local control of all data. Put it in the cloud if it’s essential to your business operations, sure, but keep local copies as well.

We live in a time when most systems architects don’t even consider off-cloud elements in their design. It literally does not occur to them. When I do crisis support for companies after a ransomware attack, it’s gotten to the point where I expect them to say “no” when I ask them, “Do you have any offline copies of your data?”

(Description of screenshot: a woman posted on Threads that she lost access to her Microsoft account through a combination of events, some of which she could have prevented, and now it will be thirty days before Microsoft will allow her access to her files).

AP: Loss of FEMA program spells disaster for hundreds of communities and their projects

"NEW ORLEANS (AP) — The textile mills that once served as the backbone of Mount Pleasant, North Carolina, have long been shuttered, and officials believed federal money would be key to the town’s overdue revitalization. They hoped an improved stormwater drainage system and secured electrical wires — funded through a program to help communities protect against natural disasters and climate change — would safeguard investments in new businesses like a renovated historic theater to spur the largely rural economy.

Mount Pleasant was about to receive $4 million when the Federal Emergency Management Agency eliminated the program. ..."

Loss of FEMA program spells disaster for communities and their projects

For hundreds of communities nationwide, plans to protect against natural disasters and climate change have been upended because of the Trump administration's elimination of a federal grant program. Scrapped projects include relocating flood-damaged homes in Pennsylvania, protecting businesses from stormwater in North Carolina, and safeguarding water supply lines in Oklahoma’s Tornado Alley. The grants have been panned by the Republican White House as wasteful political spending. But those grants were seen by local officials and residents as a vital use of government resources to protect lives, infrastructure and economies with smart investments upfront.

I, too, have shit in a bucket. Trust me, it is the LEAST humiliating thing you may have to do when faced with an unplanned for emergency.

I will add that if there is no sawdust available for covering, cat litter, or even plain old dirt will work.

And honestly, if you have none of these things available, dig a camp latrine. A hole in the ground. When it is full, dig another one.
