Back it Up Now, Not on The Cloud

 

South, By Southwest, January 6, 2025 - After reading this article on the verge, click here. The title of this blog post is a little demanding, only because I care. It really reminded me of my own files, photos, and other internet items situation. In other words, it's a message to myself as well; that I really need to downloaded my current and past work from 2024. I have lost a great amount of files over the years. I can't blame anyone for that but myself. I still have some things, just not all. 

Chalk it up to, just plain old procrastination? No. I travel too much, lived in three major cities is more like it. Some were saved and some were not. Thus, the name of this blog 'back it up now, not on the cloud'. I was going through some of my previous blog posts, just making sure that links were still active. Google now makes a collection of all things that you have posted on the web(THAT YOU EVER HAD POSTED). I am thankful for only having 223 photos and files listed. But what in the world are they doing this for? I guess, there starting it already(IYKYK). I'm still going to back it up now. Another reason, why I wrote this blog post, was the net neutrality article from the BBC click here.

On the net neutrality scene, a major win for the little people, but a blow for the so-called open internet advocates(not their lobbyists), who have long fought, for protections that would require internet providers such as AT&T to treat all legal content equally.  Basically, it stops them from retaining total control. These rules, were first introduced by the Federal Communications Commission under the former 44th/45th (yes, I'm saying 45th; due to, he served two-terms) Democratic President Barack Obama. It was later repealed during former Republican President Donald Trump's first term. I recalled vividly. My hackers; co-workers and associates were in a up roar back then, about net neutrality.  Which really helps out the American consumer(s) on their internet options. More people should be aware of it.

It really doesn't make that much sense to block net neutrality, especially for computer software, programs, smart cities and QFS systems. How is one to access, all these things, with slow speeds? In 2008, I was working for a major telecommunication company at that, time(the same year) I started this blog. It was a hard financial year for some. I clearly remember, because we were selling and telling people the lie, that they needed a digital box for their television sets to work and clearly did not. Oh, America. And like anything else, I didn't have the time or didn't make the time to create a blog about file storage or net neutrality. Seventeen years later...here it is!  Seasoned with a little net neutrality sauce. Backing it up now, I have files randomly on those little usb plugs. Finally, I got serious about my work and now saved everything on my sea-gate portable files and you should too.

Nonetheless, you can get your own personal devices, some of you have them and have been overwriting your personal drives for a very long time. Some, forget to do this and say at another time. Remember time is being shorten in these latter days.  Back up your stuff today. King Jesus said :

"And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect's sake those days shall be shortened." Matthew 24:22 KJV

You can always carry your mobile devices with you, no matter where you go. Even a.i.(artificial intelligent) doesn't want to store things on the cloud. Click here to listen to keynote speakers here in Las Vegas CES 2025 talk about it. Back it up now, not on the cloud, because sometimes, it does rains. They tell me, it never rains in Southern California. 

I'll blog back sooner then later.
