So what should we do? What price do we need to pay to exceed the "jack shit" threshold? Specific recommendations please.

- dooglius 7y agoDo your own backups on physical drives you own of anything truly irreplaceable
- arkades 7y agoOr host your backups on DigitalOcean.
- yeldarb 7y agoMaybe not the best choice in light of them deleting this guy’s entire app, db, and backups the other day: https://twitter.com/w3Nicolas/status/1134529316904153089 https://twitter.com/w3Nicolas/status/1134529316904153089
- arkades 7y agoYeah, I didn’t miss that. I was being snarky.
- glenneroo 7y agoI'm guessing GP was making a joke, considering the recent DO "scandal". BTW as was made clear by multiple HN commenters in other discussions about this incident, nothing was actually deleted, the customer's account was suspended for 30+ hours.
- apple4ever 7y agoSelf host in multiple locations - either datacenters or cloud providers. Its the only way to be sure.
- manicdee 7y agoUse GitHub and similar hosting only as a public gathering place for projects, not as the sole development repository. Which is to say, develop locally and ensure you have backups, only using GitHub to share the work with others. This is the way development using git is supposed to work anyway.
