That would be incorrect. IANAL, but cloud act purpose is to allow the usa government to ask data from USA-based or USA-related services providers, for offsense/crimes. It does not allow service providers to do anything else with that d

Not theft indeed, but copy/use of data without consent. How are they worse: They are now at risk if there is a data leak in the USA. There are higher fines for data leaks in Europe, so they aren't as well protected as before

It is easier to sell crap in markets with no customer protection or safety rules. It is cheaper to make stuff without regulations or worker rights. But, well, that's not really the point you want to make, is it ? :)

I do think some exemples of "stuff that can happen to you" are useful (without becoming a support site, of course). It may help others consider what they should be doing to not let this happen to them or imagine what they could do

You don't have to run it a entire duplicate of your current infrastructure, just plan for it to happen (depending on impact to your business). Then it means you can think about doing it after a few days of downtime, maybe earlier depen

Well, it is about things to prepare before being in this situation, I acknowledged already that it was unhelpful now, since it is too late. It is advice for other business deciders looking at this, or for this one for changes to implement i

external/independant backups are a thing. They would be part of a disaster recovery plan (and you should test the restore process and result from time to time, else they might be worthless when you actually need them). I understand thi

if your business depends on someone else's entirely to work, you have to factor that into your risks and maybe plan for it. No alternatives, no disaster recovery plan, nothing you could try for more than a week with some other provider

I've used bluetooth on linux, windows and macos. It mostly works (definitely nothing as bad as "never seen BT work at all on windows". There are so many keyboards, mouse and audio devices working pretty decently that I wonder

opt-in. Pay them for it. And have a culture of fixing stuff and spending enough before shit happens, so that on-call is rare and problems don't repeat too often

You seem to manage fine. I do think most projects do not need AWS, and at work we run most of our infrastructure on our own servers (colo, we rent racks and buy servers). Remember to consider more annoying points that can often become hidde

Having worked as a contractor ... sometimes, you hope things will get better or at least tolerable, or you go on because still need to be paid because stopping may mean you get nothing (bad contracts). It's a pretty common topic for co

That's a strange take on the subject of db servers and ssl usage. Most db servers shouldn't be accessible on internet, which skews the announced result a lot. And, obviously, clients and servers generally won't require ssl by
