Banks gear up to boost #Cybersecurity, #Cloud and #Data spending
In the race to scale #GenerativeAI capabilities, executives plan to increase foundational technology investments, according to Broadridge.
Net als de overheid zijn bedrijven sterk afhankelijk van Amerikaanse cloudbedrijven. Door de handelsoorlog staat die afhankelijkheid bij meer bedrijven ter discussie. Overstappen op Europese alternatieven is echter nog niet zo makkelijk.

Immer mehr #Unternehmen und #Verwaltungen in #Deutschland hinterfragen ihre Abhängigkeit von #Microsoft, #Google und Co.
So plant etwa das Versandhaus #Otto den Umstieg auf europäische IT-Lösungen. Auch Schleswig#Holstein ersetzt Microsoft-Programme systematisch durch #OpenSource-Software.
Gründe sind #Datenschutz, digitale #Souveränität und Kosten. Der Druck steigt seit Trumps Wiederwahl.
“A verified ID is required to access AI models in OpenAI's API to prevent IP theft. 
They went from stealing everything from everyone to now claiming it's their original work, despite hundreds of pending copyright cases against them in the courts. Why is this even allowed? That's hypocrisy at best.”
artificial interference
like that #cloud nonsense
never trust their intentions
imho manipulative big tech shit
Die Bundesverwaltung verdoppelte ihre Cloud-Ausgaben von 136 Mio. € (2021) auf 286 Mio. € (2024). Für 2025 sind 344 Mio. € geplant. Trotz eigener Bundescloud fließt das meiste Geld an Amazon, Microsoft, Google und Oracle.

With increasing numbers of organisations starting to seriously think about moving away from US-owned providers, we dig into the technical challenges of major cloud migrations.
Wie es auf der offiziellen Webseite heißt, unterstützt die #Nintendo #Switch2 bei einigen wichtigen #Games wie #Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom keine #Cloud-Saves.

TIL you can use torrents to seed+distribute s3 files. I wonder if anyone has written the reverse, an s3 frontend backed by torrents. That strikes me as useful for fedi media caching 
(though perhaps the deduplication of hashes/IPFS would suit better)

Cloud vs In House - Il viaggio di due aziende tra cloud e server personali
It’s official: Cybersecurity CVE funding has expired.
The U.S. government let MITRE’s contract lapse — and with it, the core of our global cybersecurity vulnerability tracking ecosystem.
This means:
No new CVE IDs
Disruptions across patch workflows
Coordination breakdowns for defenders worldwide
Increased time-to-response across industries
Every org that relies on coordinated disclosure is now flying with one engine. This isn’t a future risk — it’s a present emergency.

Explosive allegations are hitting Elon Musk’s DOGE team.
A whistleblower says:
10GB of NLRB data was exfiltrated
Security settings were disabled
Photos of staff were used to intimidate
Claims involve surveillance, union suppression, and cyber intrusion
Musk called it “insane,” but the NLRB is reportedly cooperating with federal investigations. Whether true or not — this underscores the growing overlap of cybersecurity, labor rights, and executive power.
