Nope.
I have my own darn "cloud" in the form of a 2008 r2 server in the garage with gobs of imaged storage. And I barely trust that!
I'm grateful that I can do this for my household in this OneDrive and whatever that Apple one is world. Two things that poke the Ron bear, backup and the cloud. Now they are synonymous which is a travesty.
Normals at happy hour.... "We're on the cloud are yoooo?. Oh and it's got AI! Dilly Dilly!"

I'm not sure how the outage/mess is related to the cloud other than the product name rhymes with cloud.
That said, I also use 'someone else's servers' in my backup strategy...encrypted of course.
I still occasionally get tricked into saving Office files in OneDrive.
Passing thought regarding the outage...last week there was a discussion about the awesomeness of PowerShell and managing enterprise systems. So why can't they write a script to rollback the update and reboot, then deploy it?
Last thought...I'd hate to be on the QA team(s) that approved that update.

It has nothing to do w the cloud.

Of course not. It's just someone else's server.

No.
Once you put your data in the cloud, it's no longer yours. All the things you could have done with that data you now have to ask permission and justify your reasons.

|

Never have. Never will. Why would I trust a technology that's a throw-back from the main frame time-sharing era? Why would I trust a technology that by the very act of copying data elsewhere nullifies your real ownership of said data? Centralized computing has no plan B other than when disaster happens, just pick up the pieces and make the best of it. Centralized computing is not scalable. I often ask myself why no one else is working on a truly distributed solution. Crickets. I simply don't get it.

depends what you mean by Cloud
another persons server, cause that all it is.
or Cloud Storage specifically. Yeah no, that is way you have 3 points of backup for important data
the Data, local backup, redundant backup, and offsite backup
the "cloud storage" is just one of those points.
if talking about the internet as a whole, and what your data being used for. Don't go do stupid things you would be in trouble for WHEN not if it gets misused. Say like have a chat with your buddies on beating up someone.
As relating to cloudstrike issue, big distruption (yes critical for some with medical issues), but compared to the wannacry issue, far less data loss.
Why have DVDs, because it might not be on [streaming service] forever, and the internet might go out and you want something to watch. Or, the internet is out and get on with doing something different.

I am sure that I am not the only one that lost a backup in the cloud for being naïve enough to trust someone else's service.
I know I should not have only one backup, I learned that the hard way.

I never have, and I never will. Despite the claims of Cloud fanbois, nothing is perfectly secure, and nothing ever will be, including private networks. But the latter are certainly more secure and defensible than any public platform.

For data storage? No way.
For compute resources? Possibly. However I know of several occasions where groups blew through their budget with huge compute bills from using the cloud. Nobody monitoring the usage and BAM, $30K a month down the drain. Another blew through over $100K before realizing it. Could have had some nice hardware for that.

Just as long as fire, floods, earthquakes, landslides, sink holes, lightning, theft, random acts of mayhem, out of control cars, in control cars (by someone with a grudge), dementia, technology failures, etc don't impact you then you should be good.

Why do Americans drink their beer cold? One explanation I've heard, but can't confirm, is that after prohibition, brewers rushed to get product on the market, and the beer didn't taste very good. If you chill something, you dull the flavor, so people started consuming the beer cold to make it palatable. Things have improved since then, particularly in the craft/micro brew sector. But the Macro Brewers still produce a barely palatable product, IMHO.

Sure, but bad flavor and no flavor are different issues.

100% agree with you - I don't find any of the major American beers worth drinking any more.
Red and brown ales, Guinness, bourbon barrel aged products. No IPA's -- can't take the hop bombs.
Best wishes from rainy Minnesota!

Reminds me of the Monty Python Live at the Hollywood Bowl[^] joke about American beer being like making love in a canoe.

Have you ever been to Georgia in the summer?
I’ve given up trying to be calm. However, I am open to feeling slightly less agitated.
I’m begging you for the benefit of everyone, don’t be STUPID.

Many "classic" British motorbikes (think up to 70's) had switchgear and electrics by Lucas. Known as the prince of darkness.
