@ppb1701 is it that time again? Yes. It is that time again to quote one of my favorite admin resources.

## The Admin Zen

### Backup

* Nobody wants backup, everybody wants restore.
* To restore, you need a backup.
* Have a backup.
* RAID is not a backup.
* There's more to save than just the files.

Why would I want to basically try to shove an ipad in my pocket? Much less have a PHONE that absolutely requires 2 hands to actually use.

@neurovagrant tbh was my first thought. either agent or a dev missing that ai assistant put it in the set of changes.

RE: https://infosec.exchange/@BleepingComputer/117077078527523059

Now - these things can happen of course - but there is not one single detail as to *how* it happened or how they've changed process to avoid it happening again.

This is confirmation bias for me, sure, but whaddaya wanna bet AI was involved?

More of this please. This is fantastic and we need more of these public write-ups of breaches for people to learn from, even small scale ones like this.

Remember when I said my DR setup should have me back up in 20-30 minutes? Yeah. About that. Turns out a backup job can run clean every single night for months and still not actually be backing up what you think it is. So here's what I actually found out the hard way replacing nixos2's dying hardware. Feel free to cue the old "The more you know" clip.

@Linux ahhh makes sense. the 500 limit is definitely a bit annoying

@Linux 🤣 I was like "didn't he just migrate not long ago?"

It was a long, long — deep breath — long time ago.

🦠 Vibrio vulnificus has killed 7 people across the Gulf Coast this year, and Louisiana health officials are warning swimmers to be careful.

Louisiana has confirmed 9 infections and 5 deaths, all in people who went into seawater with open wounds and all with underlying health conditions. Florida has reported 14 cases and 2 deaths so far. Both are well above the recent norm: Louisiana averaged about 7 cases and 1 death a year over the past decade.

The bacteria live naturally in warm brackish water, which is why infections cluster between May and October. Researchers say warming oceans are both lengthening that season and pushing Vibrio into new territory, including a first-ever detection in Long Island waters this spring. About 1 in 5 people infected die, sometimes within a day or two.

The practical advice: stay out of salt or brackish water if you have an open wound, cover cuts, wash wounds with soap, and cook shellfish thoroughly.
