Restart

I was trying to convince myself not to start another blog after my VPS was wiped clean including the snapshots and my provider can't find a backup of my slice. I wasn't writing new entries. I can't remember if I wrote one last year or none so losing a blog shouldn't be that bad. I'd like to believe that but no. It's not only my blog that was lost. It took down with it some production codes, images and other sites I happen to host on the same server.

I'll take half the blame for now doing backups on my own and only relied on what my provider offered. That was totally a huge blunder. I work in tech. I should've known better.

So here I am starting anew. I will not be using a VPS this time and decided to go all out on with cloud services. I assume that most cloud services will be doing the backup themselves since their users don't have direct access to their files. I can't trust myself anymore to do these things on my own anymore.
