Humans are weird: The fall of Reservoir

From the audio recording of Frin Yuel Retired Artark, Recipient of the Stone of Valor, Hero of the Battle of Reservoir Recordings restricted from public distribution by order of Central Command.

“I have been called many titles over my years of service, but there has been none more insulting to me than the “Hero of Reservoir”.

There was nothing heroic about that engagement; at least not from our side of the battle.

Yes, yes, I know; what madness do I speak against our glorious people to not call us all heroes on the field of battle. Hear this old soldier out and decide after if your judgment is as strong as you think.

We were half way through the first contact war with humanity when we stumbled upon their core world of Reservoir. It was a backwater colony planet that had just transitioned from a colony into a functioning world of their empire when our fleets darkened their skies.

By that time I had been in several intense battles with the humans, but this was the first time we were attacking a well-established metropolitan world of theirs. At best our early skirmishes had been in space or along resource worlds that had their mining operations established.

The orbital battle was over quickly. The human planet had no orbital defense platforms and only a small fleet was present which was quickly swept aside. No sooner had the last of the human ships been destroyed in low orbit above the world did the ground invasion begin.

I remember watching as the first and second wave of our infantry forces detached from the troop carriers and began their descent below the cloud cover. My war host was in the third wave so while we waited for deployment we watched the video feeds of the first and second.

It was not a smooth landing.

The moment they broke the cloud cover they were met with withering barrages of anti-aircraft fire from emplaced redoubts and mobile vehicles. Scores of dropships were violently ripped apart or had their engines damaged and spiraled out to the surface below. I can remember hearing troops in the latter calling out for help right up until the moment they impacted the ground and the feed went silent.

It is not easy to listen to your comrade’s die….. I can still hear them sometimes in my dreams. Even now after all these years I can close my eyes and listen to their tortured souls calling out to us again and again……

……….

Apologies; I got a bit side tracked there.

Eventually the second wave was able to carve out safe landing zones and signaled the third wave to deploy.

We launched with vengeance in our hearts and fire in our bellies. Our one purpose now to avenge our fallen friends and shatter whatever human fools had slayed them.

The humans for their part did not make our task easy. Over the span of several weeks we had to grind their resistance down meter by bloody meter, losing thousands of warriors with the capture of each one of their cities. Yet our resolve was unwavering and though our losses mounted the day finally came when I found myself standing outside the final human bastion of their world.

Even when cornered like vermin the humans refused to surrender. We shelled their city for days, reducing their towers of stone and metal to rubble and yet they only burrowed deeper and became that much harder to dislodge. Vehicles that went into the city were beset on all sides by craven hit and run attacks, while our scouts were ambushed and cut down by well concealed snipers. This went on for several days until our commander had finally had enough.

When the order finally came to storm the city a great war cry was let out from our warriors and we poured into the city. I wish I could say there was some battle plan or larger strategic picture we were following, but the reality was we were storming one building at a time before advancing to the next.

That is where I found my worthy foe.

Within the heart of sector G17 there were reports of a lone human soldier causing untold damage to our attack. I ignored the reports at first, but as the day progressed the reports continued to come in only far worse. Now they said the human soldier had slain a hundred warriors and still stood their ground. By the end of my fourth block cleared I was hearing that an entire cohort had been wiped out and now warriors were avoiding the area.

At this notion of fear spreading through the ranks of my brothers I was filled with a seething rage and made my way to sector G17 to confront this human champion myself. It was not hard to find them, as the trail of bodies led straight to them. As I followed the trail I realized that the reports had not exaggerated the casualty list; if anything they had underestimated the dead.

Standing at the entrance to a metal bunker of some sort stood the foe I sought. They wore power armor standard to their people but damaged in several places. The paint had long since been scorched away by ricochets, their once proud cloak torn in a dozen places and hanging limply from their waist; yet their rifle was still firmly clutched in their hands so tightly I wondered if even the gods themselves could pry it from their grasp.

While I approached the warrior I saw three of my fellow soldiers come forward and try to slay the human first. The first went down with deep hole in their chest where the human’s plasma shot had carved through them. The second warrior used this opportunity to close the distance with the human but with a swift backhand from the power gauntlet their neck was snapped and they collapsed to the ground. The third soldier made it close enough to land a blow against the human, adding to the collection of gashes already dotting the armor. Their combat blade dug deep between the leg joints and the human let out a cry of pain. The third soldier twisted the knife inside the joint, reveling in the victory to come. I watched as the human let their weapon fall from their hands and clasped the third warrior’s head between their mighty gauntlets. In a grueling and morbid motion the human crushed the third warrior’s skull like a grape and let the broken body fall to the ground.

The human stood motionless after the melee, which to my surprise had taken less than a minute to complete. They made to pick up their fallen weapon as they finally registered my presence but the blade wound had done more damage than they expected causing them to tumble to the ground in a loud bang.

I watched for a moment as they crawled towards it in an attempt to bring it to bear before I casually kicked it out of their reach. It was then that more of my warrior brethren began to flood into the area and saw me standing over the human that had done such horrendous damage to our forces. One by one they began chanting my name as if I had been the one to bring the foul beast low and called for me to end their life once and for all; but all I could focus on was the human before me.

Through their visor I saw the face of the human looking up at me. A thin red stream of blood ran from the corner of their mouth with specs of blood dotting the inside of the helmet from where they had coughed it.  Their eyes…….even though their body was broken and defeated their eyes never once showed a hint of remorse or pleading as they fixed me with a death glare. If it was possible I half imagine they were trying to kill me with their stare right there and then before I emptied my clip into their chest cavity.

I just stood there with my finger held down on the trigger as round after round of plasma energy burned into them while the surrounding soldiers cheered. The human died half way through the clip but I kept my fingers firmly on the trigger until every shot was emptied.

As you know after that I was given the title “Hero of Reservoir” for I had seemingly killed the human butcher all by myself. There were of course the video feeds from the warriors helmets that came before me that contradicted that sentiment but central command quickly quashed that notion; erasing or restricting what footage there was while fabricating their own that made me out to be the ‘Hero” after all. With the substantial losses they had taken claiming the planet they needed someone they could hoist up and show the homeworld to as a sign of admiration and prowess in our war against the humans.

Like I said before I never cared for the name. Not because it was based on a lie, but from what I discovered when I went to investigate the bunker the human soldier had been so ferociously defending.

It took several explosive charges to pop off the hinges but with a loud thunderous boom the door finally gave way and I led a war party inside. We had expected some sort of redoubt or military bunker and went in with our weapons firing on anything that moved; which was fortunate as the door led into a series of tunnels dotting the city filled with humans.

My fellow warriors were lost to the blood lust and carved their way through the humans as if they were made of paper while I stopped and examined the nearest fallen human.

They were a frail thing, not half the size of a normal human adult. I believe they were called “children” by their cultural standards and were designated as the youth of the species. The child lay huddled in a corner they had attempted to hide in when the breaching charges had gone off but were caught by the explosion nonetheless and died.

As I gently pulled on them to turn them around I saw that the child had been holding something tightly against their chest. When I saw what it was I recoiled and nearly fell over another dead human from my realization.

The child had been clutching a stuffed toy animal, not a side arm as his fellow warriors had believed.

With a grim realization I came to the conclusion that this was not a military bunker or the last vestiges of the human military lurking within the walls of these tunnels. They were human civilians who had been led into the depths of their city in the hopes they could survive the coming battle.

I tried to call off the attack into the lower levels but by then our warriors were lost to the haze of battle. By the end some three hundred human civilians were massacred in that bunker; their bodies sealed within a rocky tomb when we detonated charges to collapse the bunker complex.

That is why I hate being called a hero for that awful battle.  I am a pretender, a charlatan, a fraud; held up to justify the deaths on both sides as if a statue of me will someone make us forget what we had done.

The real hero of reservoir died by my hand, giving their life to defend the defenseless.

VPS vs. Dedicated vs. cloud hosting: How to choose?

A company's website is likely to be considered one of the most significant components of the business. When first beginning the process of developing a new website, selecting a hosting platform is one of the first things to do. One of the decisions that need to be made, regardless of whether you are starting an online store, building a blog, or making a landing page for a service, is selecting which kind of server is the most ideal for your organization. This is one of the decisions that needs to be made.

The first part of this tutorial will be devoted to providing an explanation of what web hosting is, and then it will move on to examine the many types of hosting servers that are now accessible. This article will compare shared hosting to dedicated hosting and cloud hosting. All of these comparisons will be included in this post. However, with terminology such as "dedicated," "VPS," and "cloud" swirling around, how can you evaluate which approach is the most appropriate for your specific requirements?

Each sort of hosting has advantages and disadvantages, and they are tailored to certain use cases and financial restrictions. We will now conclude by providing you with some advice on how to select the web hosting option that is most suitable for your requirements. Let's jump right in.

Web hosting—how does it work?

Web hosting providers provide storage and access for companies to host their websites online. Developing and hosting a website involves HTML, CSS, photos, videos, and other data. All of this must be stored on a strong Internet-connected server. A website domain is also needed to make your website public. It would be best if you bought a website domain with hosting so that when someone enters your domain in their browser, it is translated into an IP address that leads the browser to your website's files.

Best web hosting providers provide the infrastructure and services needed to make your website accessible to Internet consumers. Web hosting firms run servers that store your website's files and make them available when someone types in your domain name or clicks on a link. When website visitors click on the website or add its URL to their browser, your web server sends back the file and any related files. A web server displays your website in the browser.

VPS hosting: What is it?

VPS hosting, which stands for virtual private server hosting, is a type of hosting that falls somewhere in the center of shared hosting and dedicated hosting. Several virtual private server instances are hosted on a physical server, which is also referred to as the "parent." Each instance is only permitted to make use of a certain portion of the hardware resources that are available on the parent server. All of these instances, which function as unique server settings, are rented out by individuals. To put it another way, you are renting a separate portion of a private server.

The pricing for these plans vary, and in comparison to shared hosting, they provide superior benefits in terms of performance, protection, and the capacity to expand. Through the utilization of virtualization technology, a single server can be partitioned into multiple online versions. Each and every one of these instances functions as its very own independent and private server environment. By utilizing virtual private server (VPS) hosting, a company can have the same resource-rich environment as a dedicated server at a significantly lower cost.

There are distinct distinctions between virtual private servers (VPS) and dedicated servers, yet neither one is superior to the other. It is dependent on the requirements of your company as to which hosting environment would be most suitable for you and your team.

Dedicated hosting: What is it?

What exactly is fully controlled dedicated hosting? There is only one computer that belongs to you on a dedicated server, as the name suggests. You can handle every piece of hardware that makes up the server. These computers usually share a data center's network with nearby dedicated servers but not any hardware. Although these plans are usually more pricey than shared or VPS, they may offer better speed, security, and adaptability.

For example, if you need custom settings or certain hardware, this is particularly accurate. A business that uses dedicated hosting has its own actual server. The company utilizes the server's hardware and software tools exclusively, not sharing them with any other business. There are some differences between dedicated servers and VPS, but they work exactly the same. VPS creates a virtual separate server instance, which is the main difference. For business owners to have more control, speed, and security, truly dedicated server environments depend on physical legacy IT assets.

Cloud Hosting: What is it?

The term "cloud hosting" refers to a web hosting solution that can either be shared or dedicated to services. Instead of depending on a virtual private server (VPS) or a dedicated server, it makes use of a pool of virtual servers to host websites and applications. Resources are distributed among a number of virtual servers in a dedicated cloud environment, which is typically situated in a variety of data centers located all over the world. Multiple users share pooled resources on a single physical server environment, regardless of whether the environment is shared or cloud-based. Users are able to feel safe utilizing any of these environments despite the fact that they are the least secure of the two locations.

Therefore, cloud hosting is essentially a system that functions in small partitions of multiple servers at the same time. Having servers in the cloud also becomes advantageous in the event that servers become unavailable. When cloud hosting is compared to dedicated hosting, the case of dedicated servers experiencing an outage is significantly more dangerous because it causes the entire system to become unavailable. When using cloud servers, your system is able to switch to another server in the event that one of the servers fails.

There is no physical hardware involved in cloud servers; rather, cloud computing technology is utilized. Cloud web hosting is an option that can be considered financially burdensome. Considering that the cost of cloud server hosting is determined by utilization, higher-priced plans typically include greater amounts of storage, random access memory (RAM), and central processing unit (CPU) allocations.

By having the capacity to scale resources up or down in response to changes in user traffic, startups, and technology firms that are launching new web apps can reap the desired benefits. Cloud hosting provides rapid scalability, which is beneficial for applications that may confront unanticipated growth or abrupt spikes in traffic. When it comes to backing up data, cloud hosting offers a dependable environment. Data can be quickly restored from a cloud backup in the event of a disaster, hence reducing the amount of time that the system is offline.

How to choose the best web hosting?

When deciding between a dedicated, virtual private server (VPS), and cloud hosting, it is vital to understand your specific requirements and evaluate them in relation to your financial constraints. Making a list of the things that are non-negotiable and items on your wish list is a simple approach to getting started. From there, you should do some calculations to determine how much money you can afford on a monthly or annual basis.

Last but not least, you should initiate the search for a solution that provides what you require at the price that you desire. The use of a dedicated web server, for instance, might be beneficial if you have the financial means to do so and require increased security and dependability. On the other hand, if you are starting out and are not hosting a website that collects sensitive information, sharing hosting is a good choice to consider. If, on the other hand, the web host provides reliable support, a substantial amount of documentation, and a knowledge base in which you can get the majority of the answers to your inquiries, then the advantages of using that web host are far more significant.

Conclusion-

Dedicated, shared, virtual private server (VPS) and cloud hosting are all excellent choices for a variety of use cases. When it comes to aspiring business owners, bloggers, or developers, the decision frequently comes down to striking a balance between the limits of their budget and the requirements of performance and scalability. Because of its low cost, shared hosting can be the best option for individuals who are just beginning their journey into the realm of digital technology.

Nevertheless, when your online presence expands, you might find that the sturdiness of dedicated servers or the adaptability of virtual private servers (VPS) are more enticing to you. Cloud hosting, on the other hand, is distinguished by its scalability and agility, making it suitable for meeting the requirements of enterprises that are expanding rapidly or applications that have variable traffic.

When it comes down to it, your hosting option needs to be influenced by your particular objectives, your level of technical knowledge, and the growth trajectory that you anticipate. If you take the time to evaluate your specific needs, you will not only ensure that your website functions without any problems, but you will also position yourself for sustained success.

elsewhere on the internet: AI and advertising

Bubble Trouble (about AIs trained on AI output and the impending model collapse) (Ed Zitron, Mar 2024)

A Wall Street Journal piece from this week has sounded the alarm that some believe AI models will run out of "high-quality text-based data" within the next two years in what an AI researcher called "a frontier research problem."  Modern AI models are trained by feeding them "publicly-available" text from the internet, scraped from billions of websites (everything from Wikipedia to Tumblr, to Reddit), which the model then uses to discern patterns and, in turn, answer questions based on the probability of an answer being correct. Theoretically, the more training data that these models receive, the more accurate their responses will be, or at least that's what the major AI companies would have you believe. Yet AI researcher Pablo Villalobos told the Journal that he believes that GPT-5 (OpenAI's next model) will require at least five times the training data of GPT-4. In layman's terms, these machines require tons of information to discern what the "right" answer to a prompt is, and "rightness" can only be derived from seeing lots of examples of what "right" looks like. ... One (very) funny idea posed by the Journal's piece is that AI companies are creating their own "synthetic" data to train their models, a "computer-science version of inbreeding" that Jathan Sadowski calls Habsburg AI.  This is, of course, a terrible idea. A research paper from last year found that feeding model-generated data to models creates "model collapse" — a "degenerative learning process where models start forgetting improbable events over time as the model becomes poisoned with its own projection of reality."

...

The AI boom has driven global stock markets to their best first quarter in 5 years, yet I fear that said boom is driven by a terrifyingly specious and unstable hype cycle. The companies benefitting from AI aren't the ones integrating it or even selling it, but those powering the means to use it — and while "demand" is allegedly up for cloud-based AI services, every major cloud provider is building out massive data center efforts to capture further demand for a technology yet to prove its necessity, all while saying that AI isn't actually contributing much revenue at all. Amazon is spending nearly $150 billion in the next 15 years on data centers to, and I quote Bloomberg, "handle an expected explosion in demand for artificial intelligence applications" as it tells its salespeople to temper their expectations of what AI can actually do.  I feel like a crazy person every time I read glossy pieces about AI "shaking up" industries only for the substance of the story to be "we use a coding copilot and our HR team uses it to generate emails." I feel like I'm going insane when I read about the billions of dollars being sunk into data centers, or another headline about how AI will change everything that is mostly made up of the reporter guessing what it could do.

They're Looting the Internet (Ed Zitron, Apr 2024)

An investigation from late last year found that a third of advertisements on Facebook Marketplace in the UK were scams, and earlier in the year UK financial services authorities said it had banned more than 10,000 illegal investment ads across Instagram, Facebook, YouTube and TikTok in 2022 — a 1,500% increase over the previous year. Last week, Meta revealed that Instagram made an astonishing $32.4 billion in advertising revenue in 2021. That figure becomes even more shocking when you consider Google's YouTube made $28.8 billion in the same period . Even the giants haven’t resisted the temptation to screw their users. CNN, one of the most influential news publications in the world, hosts both its own journalism and spammy content from "chum box" companies that make hundreds of millions of dollars driving clicks to everything from scams to outright disinformation. And you'll find them on CNN, NBC and other major news outlets, which by proxy endorse stories like "2 Steps To Tell When A Slot Is Close To Hitting The Jackpot."  These “chum box” companies are ubiquitous because they pay well, making them an attractive proposition for cash-strapped media entities that have seen their fortunes decline as print revenues evaporated. But they’re just so incredibly awful. In 2018, the (late, great) podcast Reply All had an episode that centered around a widower whose wife’s death had been hijacked by one of these chum box advertisers to push content that, using stolen family photos, heavily implied she had been unfaithful to him. The title of the episode — An Ad for the Worst Day of your Life — was fitting, and it was only until a massively popular podcast intervened did these networks ban the advert.  These networks are harmful to the user experience, and they’re arguably harmful to the news brands that host them. If I was working for a major news company, I’d be humiliated to see my work juxtaposed with specious celebrity bilge, diet scams, and get-rich-quick schemes.

...

While OpenAI, Google and Meta would like to claim that these are "publicly-available" works that they are "training on," the actual word for what they're doing is "stealing." These models are not "learning" or, let's be honest, "training" on this data, because that's not how they work — they're using mathematics to plagiarize it based on the likelihood that somebody else's answer is the correct one. If we did this as a human being — authoritatively quoting somebody else's figures without quoting them — this would be considered plagiarism, especially if we represented the information as our own. Generative AI allows you to generate lots of stuff from a prompt, allowing you to pretend to do the research much like LLMs pretend to know stuff. It's good for cheating at papers, or generating lots of mediocre stuff LLMs also tend to hallucinate, a virtually-unsolvable problem where they authoritatively make incorrect statements that creates horrifying results in generative art and renders them too unreliable for any kind of mission critical work. Like I’ve said previously, this is a feature, not a bug. These models don’t know anything — they’re guessing, based on mathematical calculations, as to the right answer. And that means they’ll present something that feels right, even though it has no basis in reality. LLMs are the poster child for Stephen Colbert’s concept of truthiness.

Best Practices for Data Lifecycle Management to Enhance Security

Securing all communication and data transfer channels in your business requires thorough planning, skilled cybersecurity professionals, and long-term risk mitigation strategies. Implementing global data safety standards is crucial for protecting clients’ sensitive information. This post outlines the best practices for data lifecycle management to enhance security and ensure smooth operations.

Understanding Data Lifecycle Management

Data Lifecycle Management (DLM) involves the complete process from data source identification to deletion, including streaming, storage, cleansing, sorting, transforming, loading, analytics, visualization, and security. Regular backups, cloud platforms, and process automation are vital to prevent data loss and database inconsistencies.

While some small and medium-sized businesses may host their data on-site, this approach can expose their business intelligence (BI) assets to physical damages, fire hazards, or theft. Therefore, companies looking for scalability and virtualized computing often turn to data governance consulting services to avoid these risks.

Defining Data Governance

Data governance within DLM involves technologies related to employee identification, user rights management, cybersecurity measures, and robust accountability standards. Effective data governance can combat corporate espionage attempts and streamline database modifications and intel sharing.

Examples of data governance include encryption and biometric authorization interfaces. End-to-end encryption makes unauthorized eavesdropping more difficult, while biometric scans such as retina or thumb impressions enhance security. Firewalls also play a critical role in distinguishing legitimate traffic from malicious visitors.

Best Practices in Data Lifecycle Management Security

Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) Cybercriminals frequently target user entry points, database updates, and data transmission channels. Relying solely on passwords leaves your organization vulnerable. Multiple authorization mechanisms, such as 2FA, significantly reduce these risks. 2FA often requires a one-time password (OTP) for any significant changes, adding an extra layer of security. Various 2FA options can confuse unauthorized individuals, enhancing your organization’s resilience against security threats.

Version Control, Changelog, and File History Version control and changelogs are crucial practices adopted by experienced data lifecycle managers. Changelogs list all significant edits and removals in project documentation, while version control groups these changes, marking milestones in a continuous improvement strategy. These tools help detect conflicts and resolve issues quickly, ensuring data integrity. File history, a faster alternative to full-disk cloning, duplicates files and metadata in separate regions to mitigate localized data corruption risks.

Encryption, Virtual Private Networks (VPNs), and Antimalware VPNs protect employees, IT resources, and business communications from online trackers. They enable secure access to core databases and applications, maintaining privacy even on public WiFi networks. Encrypting communication channels and following safety guidelines such as periodic malware scans are essential for cybersecurity. Encouraging stakeholders to use these measures ensures robust protection.

Security Challenges in Data Lifecycle Management

Employee Education Educating employees about the latest cybersecurity implementations is essential for effective DLM. Regular training programs ensure that new hires and experienced executives understand and adopt best practices.

Voluntary Compliance Balancing convenience and security is a common challenge. While employees may complete security training, consistent daily adoption of guidelines is uncertain. Poorly implemented governance systems can frustrate employees, leading to resistance.

Productivity Loss Comprehensive antimalware scans, software upgrades, hardware repairs, and backups can impact productivity. Although cybersecurity is essential, it requires significant computing and human resources. Delays in critical operations may occur if security measures encounter problems.

Talent and Technology Costs Recruiting and developing an in-house cybersecurity team is challenging and expensive. Cutting-edge data protection technologies also come at a high cost. Businesses must optimize costs, possibly through outsourcing DLM tasks or reducing the scope of business intelligence. Efficient compression algorithms and hybrid cloud solutions can help manage storage costs.

Conclusion

The Ponemon Institute found that 67% of organizations are concerned about insider threats. Similar concerns are prevalent worldwide. IBM estimates that the average cost of data breaches will reach 4.2 million USD in 2023. The risks of data loss, unauthorized access, and insecure PII processing are rising. Stakeholders demand compliance with data protection norms and will penalize failures in governance.

Implementing best practices in data lifecycle management, such as end-to-end encryption, version control systems, 2FA, VPNs, antimalware tools, and employee education, can significantly enhance security. Data protection officers and DLM managers can learn from expert guidance, cybersecurity journals, and industry peers’ insights to navigate complex challenges. Adhering to privacy and governance directives offers legal, financial, social, and strategic advantages, boosting long-term resilience against the evolving threats of the information age. Utilizing data governance consulting services can further ensure your company is protected against these threats.

With the world growing digital, where everything is becoming more accessible, there's a solution that aligns perfectly to your needs: cloud hosting. But, if you're wondering what exactly cloud hosting is, you're not alone. This article is designed to help you understand cloud hosting, guiding you through its nuances and illustrating why it might be the ideal solution for your startup

What is Cloud Hosting?

Cloud hosting is a web hosting service that enables you to operate your application and website globally in a cost efficient manner. Your website is being hosted through a cluster of servers and even if one server fails at some point of a time the other one backs it up enabling your site to run smoothly without failing to load when a user clicks on your site.

How is Cloud Hosting different from traditional hosting?

Traditionally organisations host websites and applications on single,  physical servers. This method may require purchasing or leasing data centres. This not only consumes a lot of space to store the servers, it also increases the hiring cost. And if your website or application experiences a sudden spike in the traffic, it will slow it down drastically. On the other hand, cloud hosting offers a solution to overcome these challenges by hosting your site globally from wherever you are with just a click. Cloud hosting is more flexible, scalable and cost efficient. In this method,  you pay a cloud service provider to host your site and app across various physical and virtual servers enabling it to host globally. This is an ideal way for the business owners who are trying to expand their global presence.

How does cloud hosting work?

Cloud hosting uses multiple servers to balance the load and improve the loading speed of the site or application. In this approach even if one server fails the other server kicks in making everything run smoother. This is called virtualization where multiple virtual servers run on a single physical server each running independently of the other.

What are the benefits of Cloud hosting?

Cloud hosting is one of the most cost efficient ways to run your site and application which provides immense flexibility.

User Friendly: You don’t have an idea of what cloud computing is and how it actually works? Are you wondering how to use it, don’t worry cloud service providers are there to help you do it.

Scalability: You can easily scale the services in just one click and at much cheaper rates. You don’t need to look to buy servers, hire a person to maintain it or think of any innovative way to store it.

Cost Efficient: Pay only for the services you are using. You need more resources don't worry cloud service providers will allocate them for you.

Security: Are you worried about your data on the cloud? Stay assured, Cloud providers invest high in security systems making sure to provide you the best security. They are always up-to-date with their security framework. They also provide a backup and storage mechanism.

What are the types of Cloud Hosting?

Cloud hosting can be categorised into 4 main types:

1. Public Cloud

Public cloud works in a similar fashion like the public transport where many people travel in one bus and third party service providers maintain and manage all the services. In the case of public clouds the cloud infrastructure is available for multiple websites and third party service providers maintain and manage the hardware.

2. Private Cloud

It is similar to having your own car that's managed by you. Private clouds are built and maintained by you and later your organisations make use of it.

3. Hybrid Cloud

It is similar to renting an OLA cab. Either you want to pool the cab and travel with others or you want to travel alone. That depends totally on you. Hybrid cloud is a blend of public and private cloud where you run your website and applications through multiple infrastructure and store data in specific locations.

4. Managed Cloud

It is similar to renting a cab on a monthly basis where a third party manages all the operations. Managed cloud works similarly where third party cloud providers manage all the operational practices like backups, security and more.

Bottom Line

Cloud hosting represents a transformative approach, providing startup and businesses a flexible, scalable and cost efficient way to  host websites globally. There are 4 types of cloud hosting like public, private, hybrid and managed cloud you can choose from. Understanding fundamentals will help you make informed decisions for growing digitally.

Minecraft Server Hosts (Java)

So, you want to run a minecraft server for you and your pals, but you don't know where to go to get a good host worth your price that won't suck ass.

How do you know what server hosts are good? What do all the specs mean? Are they lying to you?

Now, I'm not the single voice on this stuff by any means, and I'm sure there's much more info better than what I've got... But I have been running private minecraft servers since 2012 and I feel like I have at least a little bit of knowledge and experience to share.

More below.

I am going to discuss all possible server hosting methods through the following categories: Pricing, Performance, Trustworthiness, Accessibility

I will also emphasise something important: It does not matter how many cores the CPU of your host has, minecraft runs only on a single thread even for servers. Anything of minecraft that runs on multiple threads is very much just light stuff, but the main game runs on a single thread. There ARE mods that attempt to multithread minecraft, but they are all experimental and buggy as fuck. Worth trying, but not worth depending on.

You need to figure out what CPU they use and if it works for single threads. Multi-threaded server hosts are just bragging about the hardware. You can find a list of CPU's good at single-thread processing HERE

In addition, more RAM =/= Better Performance. In fact, too much RAM can be detrimental because your CPU can't keep up with collecting the garbage data and disposing of it. In an ideal setting of your-average-friend-group you will need maybe 8-10gb of RAM dedicated. Never dedicate the full possible amount of RAM you can have for your server, always do 1GB less so the server has breathing room if necessary. So i.e if you have 12GB available, you put the max to 11GB.

Now that that's out of the way, we can begin with the review.

Let's first start with the most obvious one that I 100% suggest if you have some semblance of tech saviness or a tech savvy relative you can ask the assistance of.

SELF HOSTED SERVER

Your BEST option is always to self-host. But NOT on your own device. If you choose to run a dedicated server on the same device you intend to play on, you will have a bad time unless your PC is a beast. On top of that, your server will not be able to run 24/7. I do not recommend doing this unless you have a dedicated serverroom or a robust PC dedicated to only doing these things.

But, with self-hosted I mean specifically: Purchasing a cloud server from a decent host and installing everything yourself.

Price: The prices tend to come quite cheap for what you get. My private server is ~2TB of storage, Pretty good hardware, and 16gb of RAM available. You can get something small and cheap for only 12$ but if you want to use it for more than just minecraft you can get more.

Performance: Performance is tricky. You have to do your research on what you'll need for your server to run well. In my case, we're asking a contract change soon to upgrade the hardware of our server to an i7 because our current hardware does not handle single-thread servers very well.

However, once you've gone past the trickiness, the performance of a self-hosted server can be great and will outmatch most dedicated minecraft server providers.

Self hosting is great for Vanilla or Modded.

Trustworthiness: Its as trustworthy as you can make it. PLEASE look properly into server security so your entire service doesn't get hacked- not just your minecraft server. I can't say much on this topic as my father handles this side of things more than me.

For your minecraft server specifically, the best way to keep it safe is always keep on a whitelist, even if you wont be sharing the IP publically. Ensure you run your server not on the default 25565 port. Server scrapers will try to break in- we've had it happen with mine literal MINUTES after launching it! Server scrapers are bot accounts that will try to identify any open, unwhitelisted servers on the 25565 port. These scrapers can have the possibility of identifying multiple things about any server such as: Server version, if it's modded, its MOTD, playercount, and if the whitelist is off. (Do note that that whole rumor of Jeb_'s server being found and griefed that FITmc spread is likely entirely false, video explanation here, but this does not negate the fact that people can scrape this info rather easily.)

Accessibility: It's not accessible to people who know fuckall about tech. A decent amount of tech literacy is required to understand how to run a server like this. It is, however, incredibly worthwhile to learn. It's not convenient to self-host unless you already happen to be running your own private cloud or whatever.

MINECRAFT REALMS

Pricing: 8$/month, 30-day Realm for 10$, 90-day Realm for 27$ If you don't want to be stuck in a subscription, you pay more! How scummy. Good job microsoft.

Performance: 4GB world size max, No Modding, Render & Simulation distance is locked to a max of 8 and can not be altered in any way. This means regardless of how big YOUR personal render distance is, it won't go beyond 8 because the server locks it. One realm can have up to 3 world "slots", but only one can be active at a time. There is no static info about how much GB RAM they have dedicated, based on what I found their RAM is dynamic? It's unclear as they probably don't want to 100% disclose their specs.

Trustworthiness: It's microsoft. If you trust em, good for you.

Accessibility: Incredibly accessible as there is basically zero setup on the user's end.

Verdict: Not worth it unless you really dont want to deal with alternate hosts.

BISECT HOSTING

To be up front, I have not USED this one, so i'm speaking from what I'm seeing. and able to research

Pricing: Has Premium & Budget. a 6GB server (recommended modpack minimum) is 30$ for Premium, and 18$ for budget. The difference between Premium and budget is automatic modpack installation, Adjustable player slots, dedicated IP, automated backups, and a few others that dont matter to the average player. It is not really worth the markup.

Performance: They use Intel Xeon processors, SSD's, in general their specs are *really* good and I would not be surprised if their servers run entirely smoothly. However, the claim that a server can have up to 12 players online with only 1GB of ram (their cheapest option at 3$) is giving people false hope. Even the original minecraft realms offers gave a minimum of 2GB and did not expect more than two players to be able to play at a time.

Trustworthiness: I can't speak for this, but based on their support offers and their money-back guarantee, on top of general reviews stating they're very reliable, I would say they're trustworthy.

Accessibility: All server hosting comes with what is basically a multicraft control panel, which is very accessible. Automatic server installation is also very accessible and friendly. In general, I would say it seems to be good for anyone looking for a good server that's easy to set up and has everything you need.

Verdict: Ridiculously pricy, but if you have the money and don't want to deal with hassle its worthwhile. On top of that, a lot of modders are sponsored by them, so you can often use a promo code to get 25% off of your server and support a modder that way. (Though frankly if you want to support a modder I'd just throw a few bucks to their dono page or smth)

MC PRO HOSTING

Pricing: 6GB ram (minimum for modpacks) is 34$/month, Their customisable package looks convenient and cheap, but honestly would likely result in "set up your server with worse features for more money". It's very tricksy.

Performance: They claim you can have 100 possible players on only 6GB of ram. Even the best servers struggle with 100 players and I can tell you they certainly have more than 6GB dedicated- it's boasting numbers to sound good and it is absolutely not accurate. They also boast Intel Xeon processors which are at least good for minecraft, and they seem to have stopped boasting that they got multiple cores which was misleading.

Trustworthiness: They have a history of actively lying about their service and how well it can do things, on top of boasting in the past that having multi-threaded CPU's was good for the server. They changed this, which is good, but I personally don't like it. They provide DDoS protection and last I used them their support team was active and quick, which is good. Daily backups with no extra costs is also very kind of them.

Accessibility: Quick to set up and access, back in the day their control panel was a mess, they probably fixed it now.

Verdict: Overpriced and lying about the capabilities of their service, but if you know the limits yourself and can manage the server with those limits in mind you would have a decent server host.

SPARKEDHOST

Pricing: Offers Budget, Enterprise, and Extreme options. Assuming the 6GB modpack minimum... Budget: 6$, Enterprise 13$, Extreme 24$. Pricing is very reasonable, especially for what it offers in performance.

Performance: Offers Intel Xeon Processors *or* the equivalent. Take note of that. What is fascinating to me, is that their Extreme offers do boast MUCH better single-thread performance. Meaning they are aware how important the single-thread performance is for minecraft servers.

Trustworthiness: They don't boast how many players a server can host, which is great. However, it does boast that it has multiple cores (aka threads) available in its services. which, as you know, is basically useless for minecraft. On the other hand, as mentioned above the service does boast that single thread performance is increased for its extreme packages, meaning that they are open about the importance of that for a minecraft server. Having used this service before, I also must say that they are reliable and quite responsive on the support team.

Accessibility: Their control panel is pleasant to use and easy to understand. It's a pretty good server host and the fact they do explain the importance of single thread makes it more accessible to people trying to figure out how to find a good server. Other than that, it is basically like any other server host. It does not boast automatic modpack setup, though.

Verdict: Frankly one of my favourite server hosts and the one I would utilise if I didn't have a self-hosted one. Cheap, reliable, and doesn't lie about the capabilities of the server to you.

NITRADO

This is the server host i'm using right now while my self-hosted server is down for maintenance for a while.

Pricing: It's default preset packages all boast 2GB of ram for at the lowest like 2$. Otherwise, it offers a customisable package. The service i'm using is a customised package, where I selected 4 slots, a 30 day runtime, and its maximum 7GB of ram for modpacks. It costed me 13$ or so.

Performance: I can not find any information on either their website or online about exactly what their specs are which... Isn't great. Supposedly its Intel Xeon too? But the performance is weak to say the least. In addition, the website control panel is slow as all hell and the server frequently has strange issues that at this rate I have attributed to the server launching incorrectly when doing its restarts. Because I have only a 30-day package I'm not bothering to contact support over this but... Keep it in mind.

Trustworthiness: Since they're not up front about their specs I can't say they're very trustworthy. They also separate their preset packages based on player slots and not server performance.

Accessibility: They have automatic modpack setup for a large amount of mods but are not up to date with the most recent curseforge available modpacks. Other than that their control panel is confusing and awkward to use and its more convenient to utilise their FTP file access rather than just the ease of uploading things to their website THROUGH their website.

Verdict: Not worth the money. I was trying it out to familiarise myself with their services for a potential ARK server but if a minecraft server is like this Im not gonna trust it for an ARK server.

NITROUS NETWORKS

Pricing: 6GB it asks 24$/month. It boasts its pricing based on amount of players it can handle and you all know the drill on that. Boasts support for all mods and has automatic mod setup included in the pricing which is nice.

Performance: It's information about the specs is a little wonky to find with how they just prattle on a line of info about specs instead of a nice list, but they provide Xeon processors too that are not on the single thread CPU benchmark list. make of that what you will. They also claim to offer 9900k servers which are at the very bottom of single thread performance. I frankly would not use this for modded, but I know it performed decently on vanilla. It did begin chugging once more than 4 players were online at a time, unfortunately, and we did have one of the higher packages too.

Trustworthiness: Their tech support is quick and you can request them to put you on their 9900k servers manually without extra cost afaik. However, they recommend the modpack minimum being the 3GB RAM package which is frankly just lying to your customers about the capability of your services.

Accessibility: Probably one of the most pleasant control panels i've had the joy of using. The website is sleek, responsive, and uploading files is easy.

Verdict: It's a good service, but gets outshined by cheaper, better, and more robust alternatives.

There is a slew of other server hosts out there too that I may not be aware of, but I hope that this review of some of the known ones can aid in helping you find your most preferred server host- or at least be educational to you in some form.

Cloud-Based vs. On-Premises EHR EMR Systems: Pros and Cons

Overview

The use of EHR EMR software is crucial in the advancement of clinic operations in this fast-paced age of clnic practice. A cloud or on-premises solution, whichever you choose for your practice, the appropriate system can enhance the management of patient information, appointments, prescriptions, and communication. Understanding the benefits and drawbacks of each deployment model is immensely helpful as clinic management software continues to evolve, especially in making optimal decisions in line with each clinic’s specific needs.

Cloud-Based EHR EMR Systems: The Benefits

Cloud-based EHR EMR software is increasingly gaining popularity, especially in modern healthcare facilities. This solution is hosted at a remote location, usually by a third party, which has several benefits:

User-Friendly and Convenience: Cloud-based systems provide a great advantage in that clnic use can retrieve patient records at any place and any time. This becomes more beneficial when managing the clinic with out-of-single-location operations, whether it’s a single practice or many-station facilities.

Cost Effectiveness: The cost of using cloud-based EHR EMR software has been one of the advantages to marketing, thus drawing many clinics to the use of the software. The clinics do not need numerous and costly pieces of hardware. Also, there is no need to hassle with the maintenance of the applications, as you are timely with the latest versions of the applications. The cloud service provider does that, therefore lessening the first installation expenses and cutting down the continuous servicing and support costs.

Adaptability: As your clinic expands, so does the cloud-based option. For instance, on-premise systems have their limitations and may require very costly hardware replacements. Such interruptions are not common with cloud services. It does not matter whether you’re adding more people to the system or opening up your services in different geographical locations. It is all smooth.

Risk Management and Data Protection: When it comes to the risks and safety of the data of individuals, cloud vendors tend to utilize considerable resources in strategies of preventing any data breaches. Many providers will also offer ways to be shielded from acts such as HIPAA and keep the records of the respective clinic intact and compliant to the rules of the market.

Challenges of Cloud-Based EHR EMR Systems

Even with their merits, cloud-based systems have their own challenges:

Reliance on the Internet: Cloud-oriented systems operate on a network; hence, in case of failure to access the internet, the patient information will not be available.

Public Cloud Risks: Despite the reassurance of cloud hosting providers, some networked clinics are reluctant to utilize cloud services as they fear unauthorized access to critical data.

Continuous Maintenance Costs: In as much as a subscription-based system has numerous advantages at the beginning, the running costs of the cloud-based clinic management system may be high.

On-Premises EHR EMR Systems: The Benefits

Alternatively, there are practices that prefer EHR EMR systems that are installed on the premises. This is the case since the software is purchased and installed on the clinic's computer systems, which enables the clinic to have total ownership of the software.

Complete Control: Control is perhaps the greatest advantage provided by on-premises solutions. The IT personnel within the clinic can take charge of the software, monitor the system for any necessary updates, and also reinforce that all patient data remains on the organization’s internal systems.

Security and Privacy: For clinics that may hold especially sensitive patient information or for those that have stringent privacy practices, on-premises EHR EMR software may be the best option. Since the data remains within the facility, the chances of outside access are minimized.

No Internet Dependency: On the other hand, unlike systems that are cloud-based, an on-premise solution is not affected in any way by the availability or lack of an internet connection. This can help keep the smooth functioning of your clinic in case there are areas with poor internet service.

Future Outlook: Which Option is Right for Your Clinic?

As IT in health care improves, both on-premise and cloud-based EHR EMR software will be important in the management of the clinic. Nonetheless, there are indications of progressive growth in the future on an increased focus on cloud technologies, and this is particularly true with the rising trends of telemedicine and practices with multiple geographic locations. There are also cloud solutions that are easier to integrate with other clnic management software, such as one for handling appointment bookings and billing, to form a complete system that enhances the working of your clinic.

Moreover, given the rapid development in AI and ICT technologies, it is expected that via the cloud, the EHR EMR will become more informative and predictive in terms of healthcare analytics, thereby enhancing patient care and the running of the clinic.

Conclusion

In the end, the choice of EHR EMR software, either cloud-based or on-premise, is dependent on the scale, the budget, and the particular needs of your clinic. Cloud-based systems allow for fast deployment and easier scaling and have lower initial capital costs, which is why they are preferred by most of the contemporary practices. In contrast, if your practice is more concerned over its data or has specific treatment of privacy in place, on-site, also known as on-premises systems, may be more suitable. Notwithstanding, whichever you opt for, embracing the appropriate health management information system can boost the operational effectiveness of your clinic as well as improve the quality of care given to patients and help you stay within the regulations.

By identifying and selecting the proper system for your clinic, it will be in a good position to meet current healthcare provision standards and still offer the best services to clients.

Staying ahead of financial trends is essential for accounting firms aiming to deliver exceptional service and remain competitive in a constantly evolving industry. With rapid advancements in technology, regulatory changes, and shifting client expectations, top accounting firms adopt proactive strategies to anticipate and adapt to trends. Here’s how they do it.

Continuous Professional Development

Leading accounting firms prioritize ongoing education and training for their teams. Accountants regularly participate in certifications, workshops, and seminars to stay updated on new tax laws, compliance regulations, and industry best practices. This commitment to professional development ensures they can offer clients the most accurate and up-to-date advice.

In addition to formal training, firms encourage knowledge sharing within their teams. Collaborative environments foster the exchange of insights, allowing accountants to learn from each other’s expertise and experiences.

Leveraging Technology

The best firms embrace technological advancements to enhance efficiency and improve service delivery. Cloud accounting, artificial intelligence (AI), and data analytics tools are just a few technologies transforming the financial industry. These tools streamline processes such as bookkeeping, tax preparation, and fraud detection, enabling firms to focus on strategic financial planning and advisory services.

Staying ahead also means keeping an eye on emerging technologies, such as blockchain and machine learning, which have the potential to revolutionize accounting practices further. By investing in cutting-edge software and tools, accounting firms maintain a competitive edge.

Monitoring Regulatory Changes

Tax laws and financial regulations frequently evolve, impacting businesses and individuals alike. Top accounting firms dedicate resources to tracking these changes, ensuring their clients remain compliant and informed. They actively monitor government announcements, industry updates, and legislative changes to anticipate their impact on clients’ financial strategies.

By staying ahead of regulatory developments, these firms can adjust their services promptly and help clients navigate potential challenges.

Building a Network of Experts

The best accounting firms cultivate relationships with professionals across various industries, including legal advisors, financial analysts, and technology experts. This network provides valuable insights into emerging trends and cross-disciplinary perspectives, enabling firms to offer comprehensive advice to their clients.

Networking also ensures firms are aware of broader economic and market trends, such as inflation, interest rate changes, and sector-specific developments.

Focusing on Industry Specialization

Many leading firms develop expertise in specific industries, such as eCommerce, real estate, or healthcare. This specialization allows them to anticipate trends unique to those sectors and tailor their services accordingly. For instance, an accounting firm specializing in eCommerce might focus on digital tax regulations and online payment systems to better serve its clients.

Engaging in Thought Leadership

To stay ahead of financial trends, top firms often contribute to industry publications, host webinars, and participate in panel discussions. These activities position them as thought leaders while providing opportunities to exchange ideas and gain insights from peers and experts.

Client Feedback and Adaptability

Listening to client feedback is another crucial strategy. Clients often highlight emerging concerns or areas where they need more support, giving firms early signals about potential trends. Adapting services to address these needs ensures firms remain relevant and valuable to their clients.

Conclusion

The best accounting firms maintain their competitive edge by investing in continuous learning, leveraging technology, and monitoring regulatory and industry changes. By specializing in key sectors, building expert networks, and actively engaging with clients, these firms anticipate and adapt to financial trends effectively. This forward-thinking approach not only benefits the firms but also empowers their clients to thrive in an ever-changing financial landscape.

Comprehensive Analysis of the Medical Terminology Software Market

The global medical terminology software market size is expected to reach USD 2.34 billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of 10.1% during the forecast period, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. The increasing demand for standardization of patient data and compliance with standard vocabularies, such as SONOMED CT, RxNorm, ICD, CPT and HCPCS, and others are driving the adoption of clinical terminology solutions. The software uses a set of standard clinical terms to enable communication between different hospitals, departments, and specialties. This can be useful in situations where doctors need to collaborate in patient care or when patients need to be transferred between hospitals.

Using medical terminology software can also help improve patient safety by reducing the risk of misunderstandings caused by incorrect terms. It also saves physicians time by assisting in the documentation and thereby reducing burnout. Hospitals, health systems, and payers are all seeking innovative while manageable ways for data integration. Moreover, the government is taking active steps by launching incentive programs for patient data integration. Computer-assisted coding and accurate clinical documentation by employing Artificial Intelligence (AI), such as Natural Language Processing (NLP) technology and medical machine learning, are accelerating this process.

In addition, the growing demand for advanced healthcare data solutions is expected to create better business opportunities for clinical terminology solution providers. For instance, in September 2022, XpertDox, a Birmingham-based company specializing in automated AI-powered medical coding solutions, received funding of USD 1.5 million from TN3, LLC, a privately held company based in Arizona. The COVID-19 pandemic slowed down the industry growth. Revenue loss and financial crises, created by the pandemic, restrained hospitals to invest in the deployment of medical terminology software. Furthermore, the postponement of clinical trials resulted in a decrease in the utilization of clinical terminology software by CROs.
