I like thos #article https://gynvael.coldwind.pl/?lang=en&id=.. I had this #idea many years ago for testing #hidden #directories on #webservers too. I imagine it would work best if you are on the same #network (i.e. same #cloud ). I also wondered if the #computation of a #hash #reveals any #bits of #information about whether it is the correct #hash or not.
Apparently #google #users will get a #free #upgrade from 15GB to 1TB #disk #space in the #cloud https://lowendbox.com/blog/google-is-upg.. I can't confirm if this applies to #email and #google #drive .
Very cool #idea for the #uk #government to roll out it's own #cloud #service to #government #services https://www.cloud.service.gov.uk/ Should lead to some interesting results!
Wow, #zhengbang #pickandplace #machines come #installed with #malware that sends all of your #files to the #cloud https://hackaday.com/2022/01/22/zhengban.. When given a chance to #correct their " #mistake ", they chose to instead #infect the #files with something even worse! Madness!
Earlier today #google #cloud #gcp went down took a bunch of *major* #websites #servers down with it, including #spotify , #snapchat , etc: https://www.zerohedge.com/markets/everyt.. And this is one of the negatives to using a #centralized #service ... Imagine if they had even #distributed across more than one #cloud #infrastructure ! They would have still been up!
Nice, #microsoft apparently successfully fended off a 2.4Tbps #ddos #attack their #azure #cloud #infrastructure https://lowendbox.com/blog/microsoft-shr..

This would mean your hardware becomes basically #bricked unless you continue to pay, a lot like #tesla ... Suddenly #pine 's #pinenote looks *even more* attractive as an #opensource #linux #device !
When I get back to the #uk I'll be looking to build my own #cluster https://www.pine64.org/2021/09/01/cluste.. This would ultimately save on having to #buy #cloud #computation and could be used to host a series of other tasks, including #storage - #backup - #vpn and even third parties. It could even be setup to replace the need for a #powerful #desktop #machine , simply spinning up computation as required.
Ouch. 'Catastrophic data loss' is hardly what you want to hear from your #cloud #server provider: https://lowendbox.com/blog/smallweb-suff.. Apparently #uk 's #london based #smallweb accidentally purged the data themselves.
Hmm, looks like the #scaleway #cloud centre has been caught selling #server #ssd 's on the side and got caught with their trousers down: https://blog.scaleway.com/incident-secur.. That would affect this server for example, if a similar incident would occur. I think in the future I will be looking for a cheaper provider anyway if I can't find a #baremetal solution at the same cost.
Very very interesting, #microsoft now roll their own #linux for their #cloud #infrastructure https://github.com/microsoft/CBL-Mariner I really do love how it's easier for them to use #linux rather than adapt the #windows #ntkernel haha!
Interesting, #canonical (the parent company of #ubuntu ) is now turning a #profit since the #pandemic started, even employing more people! https://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=n.. I suppose this has a lot to do with their push for more #cloud services, it's a highly profitable industry currently.
Very good move my the #uk 's #bank #bankofengland https://www.itnews.com.au/news/bank-of-e.. Relying too much on a specific #cloud provider could be absolutely catastrophic to the #banking infrastructure.
#amazon soon to switch off support for #bittorrent in their S3 #cloud #servers https://github.com/awsdocs/amazon-s3-use.. Some people are saying its been dead since 2016. Very annoying for those who use it.
