St. Louis Mayor Cara Spencer told MSNBC on Monday that FEMA had yet to assist after the city was ravaged by a tornado days prior.
The tornado first touched down in St. Louis on Friday. The storm — reportedly 20 miles in length at its strongest — killed at least five people in St. Louis County at the time of writing. Spencer reported during a press conference that 38 people had been injured, and that number was expected to increase as recovery efforts continued.
Friday’s tornado was one of many that affected the region over the weekend, with Kentucky also being hit by storms. At the time of writing, dozens of the dead had already been found.
Set one up at a family or friends place. Encrypted and nightly backups. It’s off-site and no need to remember.
The issue I have with this is that you need to forward a port on the NAS, exposing it directly to the internet, not only in your own network, but at your friend’s or parent’s network, and unless they are interested enough in keeping the NAS patched and secure, you are not only responsible for the security of your own network, but of your friend’s or parent’s network as well.
I am an IT guy at work, I don’t want to be one at home also.
??? VPNs exist for a reason. You don’t go exposing yourself to the Internet.
Then you have a VPN service exposed on the internet that you need to keep patched.
They mentioned wildfires. If your house burns down in a wildfire, your buddy’s house three streets away is also going to be on fire.
Not if they are in another city or state, though. Easy to cover that contingency.
True, but most people have family in different states or counties. Even close friends would be fine with a setup like this. Do a swap, you give them your backup nas and they do the same. If they don’t know how to do this, show them how.
