scary? did you just wake from a 15 year coma?

you store anything in a big-corp cloud, which you haven't personally encrypted, with keys that only you possess, then assume it's all backed up in fed repos (somewhat hyperbolic, especially for non-crims, but not far fetched by any means)

that's neither new, nor news (sadly)

This is why I don’t bother with RAID (besides 0). If a drive ever fails I just FOIA NSA and all my data shows up a few weeks later, usually with a nasty letter about how this is the last time
I actually did this when it was time to renew my SF 86. I didn’t want to remember all the names and addresses and phone numbers from the last time. So I just did a FOIA on myself and the emailed me my last form already filled out.
What’s an SF 86?
Security clearance
This legitimately made me guffaw. Well done.
"New" isn't a prerequisite for "scary".
I never said it was new nor news, I said it was scary.
