Good thing when my main rig goes down I have a, checks notes, 16 RTX 4090 BACKUP MACHINE.
In fairness if you really needed to you could rent this kind of compute via a service like vast.ai, it’d probably still be cheaper than paying a ransom.
You don’t need a whole new system just another clean hard drive to boot from and use the 16x RTX 4090 to calculate the code. EZPZ.
Just build a new one, at the cost of…
Nevermind, pay the ransom.
In other news ZFS and proper back ups do this in about 30 seconds.
I know you meant backups can protect against ransomware, but it would be pretty funny if ZFS included a ransomware password cracker
Depending on the depth of the ransomware a simple “zfs rollback” will fix all your problems.
30? What? Holy moly!
The freshest Akira variant uses old-timey encryption method vulnerable to brute-force methods
It breaks old-timey encryption.
It’s nice to know that 4090s won’t break new timey encryption in that amount of time.
So stick to wibbly wobbly, timey wimey encryption? Got it.
