“Usually”

Sure.

But there are custoner managed keys which do exactly what I think it does.

And we here in Canada still ashamed of residential schools. You’d think other countries would have learned.

Wow. I used to be a lead Enterprise architect for a large corporation. We had some clients who explicitly required, by contract, that the data should be hosted in Canada and only accessed by people in Canada. This included the department of National defense.

Microsoft complied by hosting instances in Canada and we went through hoops to ensure data remained in Canada.

This seems to uppend the game. However, all this information should already be encrypted. Whenever it isn’t, I’m sure corporations are scrambling to fully encrypt (or de-host) data.

I mean, data (at rest and in transit) encryption has been available for other risk vectors. This seems to be no different. If Microsoft/Amazon/Oracle, etc had a backdoor to unencrypt the data, it would create a higher backslash.

For individual users, I don’t think 99% of them care where their data is hosted.

Really? I guess everyone was 15 at some point and hadn’t heard that distro wars are useless 🤣

There is no best. Period.

I haven’t done tracking on a day today, but every now and then I’ve checked the calories in the food I eat and the calories burnt in the exercise I do. For example, I exercises in the morning for 20 mins (200 cal) had protein shake (250 cal) went for lunch at a friend’s house: she served Chinese pork noodles (400 Cal) and apple crumb (400 cal). We swam for an hour. I biked 11 km each way (600 cal). I went to the rock climbing gym for two hours (400-600 cal). I ate 1/2 cup of nuts (350 Cal) and a celery stalk (6 cal) 1 hour before bed.

So, if we consider my BMR of 1,483 cal/day plus the exercise (say 1,000 cal) I needed to eat 2,483 cal to break even.

But I ate no more than 1,500 cal. Even if I underestimated, I didn’t eat more than 1,500 cal.

That means a 1,000 cals calory deficit.

That’s an example of a day where I ate more than usual because of the visit but exercised as usual.

Am I counting correctly?
