the cloud provider’s API allows for destructive action without confirmation, it stores backups on the same volume as the source data, and “wiping a volume deletes all backups.” Crane also points out that CLI tokens have blanket permissions across environments.
I don’t want to sound like a know it all here because I recently was reminded by a nice Lemmy person to actually TEST my backups, but damn. Every part of that is so dumb. I also have backups stored by a different company in addition to locally storing really important info. If your stuff is hosted and backed up by the same people, what happens if your account is randomly suspended or hacked or some other issue (like ai)?
Of course it’s a name. Camden borough/town/market is named after William Camden, 1551-1623. Using surnames as given names is a relatively common Americanism.

This should be one of the first questions you get asked when you’re being interviewed for the position 2 to 3 levels beneath the position of ultimate responsibility. And if you don’t immediately have an answer, the interview is over.
Well, there’s your problem.
Management are pushing sysadmins to use AI, yet AI tools permissions models are worse than useless.
PocketOS states that as well.

Repeat after me:
“An untested backup does not exist”
If your company can be taken down by Camden the college intern, it can be taken down by Claude.
People somehow think that they should give more permissions to Claude than to Camden. (Is that a name? To me that’s a borough and an eponymous beer.)
E: oh yeah, and the market.

What was William Camden’s take on unrestricted AI use in production?
He doth protest

Fucking idiots had it coming
It’s an easy question to answer but a more difficult question to remember to ask. But I guess that’s what those 2 to 3 levels are for 😏
Ooo, good point. Management can be shit a lot of the time.
But with all of those layoffs because of AI, those 2 to 3 levels get collapsed into one, and we’re left with the trainees running the show.
And here we are ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
