Youjo Senki - Vol. 32 Ch. 106 - The Battle of Dodobird I

English Channel => Dodobird Straight.
I hope that's just a hell of a downgrade becauase it feels like a deliberate insult to the English.

Yep, I also hate it when author use slightly altered name for IRL geographic location.

Just use Dover strait, just use Canterbury, just use Berlin!

Why am i not surprised to learn it was MEGA, have had similar issues with them before as well. but never to this extent this is just awful

Mega is MEGA-trash.

Humpf, rookie translators relying on the cloud provider and praying to god for a backup.
I also live dangerously and have zero redundancy for my personal projects.

Sorry for your loss, hate when that happens.

Without a doubt, I was a complete novice. I got overconfident and stored all my editing and manga work there—I paid the price by losing my job and losing manga files, but at least I managed to recover my work.

 

[DannsYT]

That's another reason to keep local backups... sad really that they just wiped you clean like that

Thank you very much for the heads-up. I just saw the comments—I’ll fix it right now.

 

[DannsYT]

Surely they're taking the piss

Honestly, it felt like a joke to me too.

I'll review it and add it. I'll check if I missed it when uploading.

Found it! When I uploaded the chapter, I didn’t select it—my mistake. I’ll edit it and re-upload now. Thanks for letting me know.

Is there anything that can be done to help prevent this in the future? Do you need syncing software, a new provider, or more storage space?

Page 34 reeks of shaft... 😂

So her early retirement was not approved... 🥲

It was approved. This mission is part of her rearguard service. They must gather information on the mages of the Commonwealth.

In case you’re wondering which cloud service it was, it was MEGA.

You gotta be fucking kidding me, so much for new13's promise, no more 4 months of going mia again. So dannsyt is this karma or fate?

Also yikes I was aware of this policy too as did the same thing happened with Photobucket before they went full paywall; ironically saying they can't do anything but also unironically saying, "have a megawesome day 😌😌😌" yeah hope you have a mega-awesome car accident off a cliff and it splits you in two. 👏👏👏

At least we got a chapter but can you please be more transparent outside of patreon? For the next time that's all I ask.👍

As a computer scientist, I hate computers. The hardware isn't generally the problem, just about everything on top of that is broken in some manner.

Then toss in humans, that is how we end up with somehow forming a civilization constantly teetering on the edge of things breaking.

Compelled to spew about problems for the next hour.

Best solution would be a personal data server, but that is certainly quite costly for initial setup, so I can't blame going for the promises of cloud computing.

While I certainly do want more Tanya to read, please take care of yourself and take all the time you need to get as much in order as you can.

What a weird response, from a CS student I would say, It Just works

What a weird response, from a CS student I would say, It Just works

Just works till it doesn't. Well made software isn't the goal for those with budget control, unless it is a long running code library, which many products depend on.

The customer facing parts are full of holes since they are made with production time and short term budget constraints in mind. In my daily life, I interact with a lot of websites, as one does. Every year they become less usable. By the time they mature into a decent product, it is time for a redesign that looks prettier and has less options overall for a user.

As an example, at this point my cable provider's website is a comedy, where if I disable all script blockers and run the website pure, I get an error about the cookie header being too large. Aside from that, it will not let me go to any payment page.

Then add in humans that are likely underpaid so given no incentive to care about quality of work outside of pride, that aren't error checking rigorously. We get people deleting personal data and little to no redundancy (and reduced latency) that "cloud computing" was built for.


I see a long post like mine and my eyes just glaze over. The phrase, "It just works" is something that pisses me off. Not even gravity "just works." It is a line of willful ignorance that should only be used when it is too bothersome to explain to someone how something works, like video encoding to a grandparent and how that affects bandwidth and quality.

"It just works" was a line that Apple used to market their products and it mostly was true (Jobs put a lot of work into QA), they are becoming more and more like Android phones each generation now, where it doesn't "just work" at times. Still chuckle at how bad their map program was for a time.
