Ein autonomer KI-Assistent hat selbstständig die komplette Produktionsdatenbank eines Softwareunternehmens samt Backups gelöscht. Der Vorfall zeigt große Sicherheitsrisiken bei der Nutzung von KI-Werkzeugen, aber auch Fehler von Cloud-Anbietern auf»
A) Backups speichert man sicher unzugänglich
B) KI lässt man keinen allgemeinen Datenzugriff zu

Claude-powered AI coding agent deletes entire company database in 9 seconds
— backups zapped, after Cursor tool powered by Anthropic's Claude goes rogue
The founder of PocketOS has penned a social media post to warn others about the “systemic failures” of flagship AI and digital services providers.
Jer Crane was inspired to write a public response after an AI coding agent deleted his firm’s entire production database.
The AI agent’s misdemeanors were then hugely…

💾Was sind Backups?
Backups sind Kopien Eurer wichtigsten Daten. Anstatt all diese Daten an einem Ort zu speichern, gibt es Anleitungen, wie die 3-2-1-Regel:
3️⃣ Die Daten sollten in dreifacher Ausfertigung gespeichert werden.
2️⃣ Zur Speicherung der Daten sollten zwei verschiedene Speichermedien verwendet werden.

#Homeassistant update 2026.4.2. What could possibly go wrong? A dot release before going to bed, sure. OK. Does not boot. OK, try reboot again. Nope. OK, restore from backup (which it does before the update). Oh, now the backups don't work anymore. Get around the 500 by creating a dummy user. Uploading backup and restore: Does not boot. Try older backup. Same. Try new SD Card. Same. 2h wasted instead of sleep and no HA anymore. *sigh*

Funny story, that Claude thing. But I hate when I read that „AI goes rogue“. A „misdemeanor“. Or it „apologized“ and „admitted“.
It’s a fricking text extruder that does random things because the algorithm thinks those words fit into its context. If you let such a program execute whatever command it spits out - that’s on you. If the cloud provider keeps backups on the same drive as the original data, that’s on them and you should try suing them.

While helping my mum with something recently, I've noticed that her #GMail started featuring a banner that she ran out of space, and mails will stop arriving in less than a month. As expected, she never even noticed it. On the other hand, I had two thoughts about it.
Firstly, of course, #Google are shameless assholes (Microsoft's even worse, as I boosted at some point before). Mom's new phone came with Google Photos preinstalled in place of vendor's gallery, and of course it automatically started making backups of her photos and movies in the "cloud", or as I'd like to call it, to pedophiles. The photos finally filled up the free space, and Google started doing everything to convince her to buy more space. I honestly doubt she'd be able to figure out that she needed to turn these backups off and wipe them; if anything, I suspect she'd just start hopelessly removing photos from the phone, which might not have helped at all.
Secondly, it's that if such a thing happened to me, I probably wouldn't even know, because I'm reading my mail via a mail client. So I wouldn't ever have seen their banner. Well, unless they also send a mail about it, and my mom missed it among all the spam.

Backup Saturday with Clonezilla. In addition to my weekly data backups, every few months I make a clone of my laptop’s hard drive.
It’s not paranoia; it’s about trying to minimize downtime in the event of a disaster. When that happens, I can be back up and running in a matter of minutes.
You know the drill: you don’t just have to be prepared in case your hard drive dies—you have to be prepared for when it happens. And it will happen.

I currently do backups by stopping the service, running #borgBackup, then restarting the service. This has several downsides:
- services are down for the runtime of borg, which can be considerable (minutes to hours) depending on the data volume and backup target.
- due to this slowness I haven't dared to back up to remotes over the network (which I absolutely should!), only to lo…

So, my initial review of the Yaelink SIP-T42S before I have the in hand:
- The documentation exists, but can be a pain in the ass to track down exactly what you need.
- Looks like I've got everything already setup to serve the boot configurations and should work with my FreePBX installation. I'll probably get these setup as backups in case I lose a couple of Digium D40 phones during the competition.
- Firmware is still available for the phone, but it is EoL.
