...Aaaaaaaaand the decision just came down from the top - retrieve the encrypted customer data via FTP. Half a terabyte or so. All encrypted, so we will have a large chunk of drive space eaten up by what is essentially garbage. But that's what the boss wants, that what he gets. I think it's mostly to appease the customer at this point, but whatever. Here's some drive space, along with a big "I told you so". Might not be my circus or monkeys, but now I'm shoveling up monkey poo.

I hope you don't pull in any of the actual virus, and risk encrypting your shit.

@dustinb3403 Same here. That was the first thing I said, and I also gave a preemptive "I'm going on record as saying this is a profoundly bad idea". If something goes wrong, our single DC will be gone (before I worked here, someone thought it would be awesome to put DC, DNS, FTP, file server, etc on 1 server).

Create a CYA email before proceeding. . .

@dustinb3403 We're small enough that it won't matter. I have 3 witnesses to my objections.

Thanks. I don't really feel like my ass is on the line here... my job is to help get the data, I already told the boss that it's useless. So this feels like a ceremonial gesture to make the customer happy. We will sit on the data for a bit, then the owner or whomever will have to tell the customer they are SOL. I'm fine with all that, no skin of my ass. Doing anything at this point is going above and beyond our SLA. They can be pissed off at their IT department and/or the idiot who clicked the suspicious email.

@dafyre I love the brave browser. There are a few internal sites that I can't use it with, but everything on the Internet works great with it.
I'm seeing a few more CPU spikes, but around 10 - 15% memory savings... I just got all my tabs open though, so we'll see what happens.

iPhone 7 was already waterproof I thought. Or was the 7s the first? I know the 7s is. Just cannot recall on the 7.

The first link looks as if the building was demolished with explosives with that initial spark.

Is this the second one to hit Mexico in a month or two?

Yes, last one was 8.2 with epicenter in Chiapas, not so much damage caused even though it did kill 96 people.
