#Data Hosting

[miaqc1]

Since Internet Archive goes down often, I'm thinking of moving my images & podfics at Squidgeworld hosting spaces. But I also have a few videos (AMV) and some are heavy (like 100MO). Where I could post those? Not on YouTube. They would flag it because of copyrights.

Data-as-an-Asset: Unlocking the True Value of Information

In today's digital economy, data is no longer just a byproduct of business operations—it has become a critical asset that drives innovation, efficiency, and competitive advantage. As organizations increasingly recognize the strategic value of data, they are adopting the concept of "Data-as-an-Asset" to leverage their information resources more effectively. This article explores the key components of Data-as-an-Asset, focusing on MDM Modernization, Data Governance, and Data Hosting/Warehousing.

1. MDM Modernization: Ensuring Data Accuracy and Consistency

Master Data Management (MDM) modernization is a crucial element in treating data as an asset. MDM involves the centralization and governance of critical business data, such as customer, product, and financial information, to ensure a single source of truth across the organization.

Key Aspects of MDM Modernization:

Cloud-Native MDM Platforms: The transition to cloud-native MDM solutions enables organizations to scale their data management practices seamlessly. Cloud-based MDM systems offer flexibility, real-time data integration, and improved accessibility, allowing businesses to respond quickly to changing data needs.

AI and Automation: Modern MDM systems are increasingly leveraging AI and machine learning to automate data quality checks, anomaly detection, and data matching processes. This reduces manual effort and enhances the accuracy and reliability of master data, ensuring that the information used for decision-making is up-to-date and trustworthy.

Real-Time Data Management: With the demand for real-time insights growing, modern MDM platforms are designed to handle dynamic data environments. This capability allows businesses to maintain consistent and accurate data even as it changes rapidly, supporting better and faster decision-making.

2. Data Governance: The Framework for Data Stewardship

Data governance is the backbone of treating data as an asset. It involves establishing policies, procedures, and standards that ensure data is managed effectively, securely, and in compliance with regulatory requirements. Strong data governance frameworks are essential for maintaining the quality, security, and usability of data across the organization.

Key Components of Data Governance:

Policy Development: Data governance policies define how data is to be managed, who has access to it, and how it should be protected. These policies help ensure that data is used ethically and in compliance with legal and regulatory requirements.

Data Stewardship: Appointing data stewards who are responsible for maintaining data quality and integrity is a critical aspect of data governance. Data stewards oversee the implementation of governance policies and ensure that data is consistently accurate and reliable.

Compliance and Risk Management: Effective data governance frameworks help organizations mitigate risks associated with data breaches, non-compliance, and inaccurate data. By ensuring that data is governed according to best practices, businesses can avoid costly legal penalties and reputational damage.

3. Data Hosting/Warehousing: The Foundation of Data-as-an-Asset

Data hosting and warehousing are fundamental to the concept of Data-as-an-Asset. These practices involve the storage, management, and retrieval of large volumes of data in a way that supports business intelligence, analytics, and operational efficiency.

Key Trends in Data Hosting/Warehousing:

Cloud Data Warehousing: The shift to cloud-based data warehousing solutions has transformed the way organizations store and manage data. Cloud platforms offer scalability, cost-efficiency, and the ability to handle large datasets without the limitations of on-premises infrastructure.

Data Lakes and Warehouses Integration: Modern data management strategies often involve the integration of data lakes and data warehouses to provide a comprehensive view of both structured and unstructured data. This approach enables businesses to leverage all available data for analytics and decision-making.

Real-Time Data Access: As businesses seek to harness the value of data more rapidly, real-time data access and processing capabilities have become critical. Advanced data warehousing solutions now support real-time data streams, enabling organizations to act on insights as soon as they are generated.

Conclusion: Building a Data-Driven Future

Treating data as an asset requires a holistic approach that encompasses MDM modernization, robust data governance, and efficient data hosting and warehousing practices. By adopting these strategies, organizations can unlock the full potential of their data, driving innovation, enhancing decision-making, and gaining a competitive edge in the marketplace.

As the digital landscape continues to evolve, businesses that prioritize data-as-an-asset will be better positioned to capitalize on new opportunities, mitigate risks, and achieve sustained growth.

so I'm Canadian and I grew up ALWAYS taking my shoes off in the house. I watch a lot of American TV though and they almost never take their shoes off in the house, which for years I thought was just for convenience when filming, but I've learned that apparently some people actually do leave their shoes on???

anyway all this to say can you reblog this with where you're from and whether or not you take your shoes off in the house?

Just found out that everything I have ever written has been AI scraped, despite me having my works on AO3 archive locked since early 2023, and I am so fucking angry, upset and disheartened.

At this point, I am not really sure if I want to continue writing (or at least publishing what I write) - I was beginning to feel deflated anyway, as giving support and motivation to others. and not feeling as though I get much back myself was killing my spark for fandom a little. Finding this out has killed it stone dead.

After Oh is split into two, their power is halved/divided. But! Other traits are not necessarily divided evenly. So she holds all the romantic love (unrequited) for Ymber. She also has the rhythm/ability to dance while the other half cannot keep a beat for the life of him.

Endlessly fascinated by how often the mysterious "beyond the blackwall" is talked about as though it was discovered by humans rather than made. Like some foreign jungle filled with venomous snakes and bugs and big cats etc. Instead of like a massive server. That is another question I have. How is the old net (beyond the blackwall) structured? I assumed it must have been a lot like our internet today, where every website is hosted on different servers, but the way it's talked about is strange if that were the case. Almost like the whole thing was hosted on one large server and everyone else's servers merely tapped into it. Communed with it.

It is a wilderness, the space between stars, some incomprehensible depth filled with man-created minds. It's like it's some extra plane of existence, like the hells of faerûn where devils and demons find portals into our world. But in reality it's like. Some server somewhere. Right? But if it were, wouldn't NetWatch just track down the server(s) and shut it down, effectively destroying any dangerous rogue AIs caught inside? Idk maybe I don't know anything about how the internet works but everytime anyone in the game says anything about it, it always raises so many more questions than answers.

Make a neocities, it is Very fun, I promise.

oh trust me ive looked into it :) im a spare time web dev/frontend engineer so it looked like a lot of fun but i dont like the IDE work sync method since it's a browser-based HTML editor, so i just got too lazy to actually code something and then merge all the files over 😭

i was thinking of trying it out though for a personal blog, but ive definitely spent too long on my 90s web styled portfolio website (professional for webdev and research stuff, not art haha) so im a little burnt out lmaooo

i do want to start a personal blog or even an interactive OC website using rlly cool jQuery functionality, etc. but ive just never gotten around to it :( if anything i'd probably opt for a github.io website since im comfortable with Git config and that kind of save workflow. thank you for the recommendation though! i will get around to it eventually 🤞

Just as a heads if any of my mutuals are giffing Tik Toks from the US - it's looking like (from the information I've seen, and I'm genuinely hoping my info is wrong this time) all US user data and videos are getting deleted with the ban instead of a simple 'this is blocked in the US' type deal. Make sure you've saved the ones you'd like to gif in case they're inaccessible once the ban goes through, there's only a couple of days and it's better safe than sorry.

[ a lil pelago drabble ...as a treat....

cw for drowning and mild body horror

••••

She gasped for air but all her lungs found was water. A cry for help made no sound, only bubbles that clouded the ripples of sunlight that grew further away. The pressure that crushed her was not of the relative depths but of fear as everything grew dim.

•••

They grasped for protection but all they found was an open expanse riddled with debris. Freshly torn from a carcass of a host, they were weak. They couldn't fight the waves nor the saline density as they found themselves dragged up into a blinding oblivion.

••

Something else moved in the waters , just as incoherent and terrified as they were. As she was.

On the borders of subconsciousness, intentions were exchanged. Flesh was torn, replaced, and mended. Two beings, miniscule in the world they lived in, brought themselves to be one.

•

Alicia awoke in a sputtering panic - wheezing and gasping but alive and breathing. Sweat-soaked but not sea-soaked. Suffocating not from water but by her own hand that grasped at her own throat. She loosened her grip and turned to lay face down, pressing the reopened crevice right below her throat against the mattress.

Lagon jolted out of a restless dormancy. The impulse to hide, to protect themself, was sated by a pressure that was still unfamiliar to them. Unfamiliar but comforting. Comforting because they knew they were safe here, encompassed in living flesh and an active mind.

They would keep her safe.

And they, as the abyssal giant Pelago, would keep their homes safe.

🚨 COVID19 WEATHER REPORT: HOLIDAY SPIKE RAGES ACROSS USA 🚨

1/1/2024: Okay! Things are bad! We're JUST beginning to see how many people caught COVID-19 during the holidays. Right now it's moving through the USA causing AT LEAST 2 million infections per day (and that's the under-counted government numbers alone).

During this surge, ~100 million people total (~1 in 3 people in the US) will likely get COVID. Different areas will peak at different times, so keep an eye on your local numbers.

Reminder: All our viral data (recorded infections, deaths, wastewater viral count, etc) works on a 2 week delay - the length of COVID-19's initial acute phase where people are contagious and shedding viruses.

We want to slow the current spike down as much as we can by using respiratory masks like N95s, air filtration, and isolating and testing for COVID-19 multiple times after exposure. Hopefully we'll hit the peak soon (and not get hit as hard as Omicron in 2022).

DON'T GIVE UP HOPE! RESPIRATOR MASKS STILL PROTECT US

Respirator masks like N95s and KN95s use electrostatic filters that block at least 95% of dangerous virus-carrying respiratory aerosols, and can be adjusted to fit snugly around your nose and mouth. The few viruses get in, the less "sick" you'll get during the acute phase, and the less long-term damage they'll cause to your vascular and immune system (aka Long COVID).

If you are sick, please stay home and REST for as long as you can - the goal is 14 DAYS even if the surface symptoms seem "mild". People physically need rest to prevent worse damage to our organs. We need immediate emergency aid from our local and federal government to keep people staying HOME and fed and with medicine like Paxlovid.

If you are forced to work while sick, please wear a well-fitted N95/KN95 respirator mask to prevent further outbreak (but surgical/cloth masks are better than none). Avoid CROWDED PLACES, COVERED SPACES, and CLOSE CONVERSATIONS. Stay hydrated and eat easy, bland food, keep cleansing your sinuses and throat with nasal sprays/CPC mouthwash, and take ibuprofen/aspirin instead of tylenol for pain. If you keep struggling to breathe and you can't get enough oxygen, you need emergency hospitalization (look for blue/purple/grey tips to fingers, tongue, lips).

Please take care of yourself and each other! We will get through this.

im not trying to defend AI, i do not support AI, but I wish i could like. correct people's assumptions about it because I know how it works. Maybe it's wishful thinking but if you better understand what it is and what it isn't, what it's actually doing, etc we will have a better chance at fighting it
