The PocketOS boss puts greater blame on Railway’s architecture than on the deranged AI agent for the database’s irretrievable destruction. Briefly, the cloud provider’s API allows for destructive action without confirmation, it stores backups on the same volume as the source data, and “wiping a volume deletes all backups.” Crane also points out that CLI tokens have blanket permissions across environments.
Oh yes, I skipped that part. Railway specifically explains their solutions are self-managed. If they were doing pgdumps to the same volume, that’s on them.
If Railway loses business over this, they may have a libel claim. They’d never do it, but it wouldn’t be invalid.
“It wouldn’t be invalid” isn’t the worst double negative in the world but it would be valid to say that it was unpleasant to read it when you could have used a less misdirecting choice of prose that wouldn’t have had such a negative effect on my reading comprehension. That is to say that I could have enjoyed it less but I certainly didnt enjoy it as much as i could have if you hadn’t used the double negative when a single positive wasn’t any further from reach.
yes…
lol people on HackerNews tend to do this a lot and it really does get annoying. it forces the reader to process what you’re trying to say unnecessarily.
This guy.
Oh look, they have project level tokens: https://docs.railway.com/integrations/api#project-token
They chose to give it full account access, including to production. But ohhhh nooooo it’s not MYYYY fault!
Also backups stored on the SAME VOLUME as the prod data? How fucking stupid do you have to be?

I used a litote on purpose to soften the meaning. As for your overall reply, not bad.
Totally valid, but leaves no room for me to do a stupid reply! Thank you for sharing litotes.
Just wanted you to know that I just learned what litote is, thanks to you.
Ditto
Yay for words

I appreciate the positive reinforcement, thank you

That’s doesn’t even really qualify as a backup. A snapshot, maybe.
I mean… Clearly quite a bit!
I think there’s a place for that, but it really shouldn’t be your only one.
I had better security vs ClawdBot than them, I gave it zero trust, ZERO.
Hope he gets sued for defamation now.
