Where is the NZ data now?

Seeing as these are paid accounts and they have a certain contractual duty, it seems to me he should be able to get a big settlement for their disruption of his service and for the destruction of his data, especially if they cannot or will not provide him with a full backup.

The big money assaults on the truth will continue until the government offers safeguards. And don't be so naive to think that Trump would do anything to support the righteous forces and truth as when there has been any pushback against him on big money issues he folds like a cheap tent. How much death and destruction before state AGs and federal interests represent the people's core interests?

We’re late to the game, keep the facts out there. Who knew the rabbit hole was this deep?

It appears that people only want to talk and interact with others that they agree with nowadays. Whilst not on the same scale, I got banned from a Stack I have read for months just this week. I think it is because I questioned their green pro climate narrative, but of course I have no way of finding out why, because I am blocked - for 100 years. Thanks Georgie&Donny. Shame, we can all learn so much here, even when being challenged. Free speech? Yeh right.

The first level of data security is to secure your information on hard drives, or other media that are not connected to the Internet, and certainly not to quote the cloud“. This is a fundamental failure of both Kevin McKernan and Steve

Absolutely - and access said data on a device entirely air-gapped from the net, then export data to usb/ hard drive for dissemination on the web etc.

People still don't seem to understand that 'saving to the Cloud' is literally just using someone else's computer storage system (and all the admin privileges that go with it).

Indeed it is!!!

That's a big call schooling someone who probably has more ICT knowledge in their little finger than you will ever have. Just because Steve posted a copy of the data to network based storage to make it available does not imply that he did not have backups, which as he stated he was able to recover quite quickly demonstrated he did. As noted by @Hillary Butler.

But did McKernan ??.

So the comment is still valid as a warning for anyone that uses Cloud storage.

It’s not “ … a big call schooling …“ at all. It’s a basic fact.

Other than that, what the hell do you know about me?

Oh right, a "basic" fact, you forgot the bit where the article stated only a copy of the data was uploaded. That tells me all I need to know. Nothing else worth knowing really.

Hey kid, and you are a kid, my post is exactly correct and spot on. I recommend that you read it again and this time try to comprehend it. In the meantime, tuck your tail between your legs and run along.

Hahahaha, I love it, your overinflated ego takes control and you make stupid assumptions again. I read your post, it is arrogant and presumptuous, let alone technically sound. This comment just backs up what I stated previously. My fifteen years in network engineering, five of those as an instructor and ten more delivering technical solutions globally put me in a position to point out your short comings.. To sit there and say, "What I said is fact, its the basics" I never disagreed with the statement backing up somewhere is basic. How it was stated is that overinflated sense of technical superiority you think you have is something else. My tail will never be tucked between my legs when dealing with anyone like yourself.. I suggest you re read Steve's article and pay more attention to the detail before you presume to school anyone on "basics".

Get a grip on reality kid. In the meantime, run along now.

I think that Steve would have done that. After all, he was able to upload the data somewhere else, so plainly he also had it in an external hard drive of some sort.

I certainly hope you’re right

Kevin is a different story, is he not? 1TB is minuscule to backup on an external for just such a kick in the nads.

Expand full comment

I do not know, but can't imagine that a smart person like Kevin would not have multiple back ups, however, the point is that the action was illegal under the terms of the injunction which only applied to the NZ MoH data not everything else in a person's account.

why dont you have a hard copy in hand that you can re upload?

Doesn’t matter; the truth is out. I haven’t met one person who isn’t aware of the political Plandemic.

I'll pass this along on my blog.

On his local IPFS?

The promise of IPFS is that it can't be removed, as long as it gets distributed.

I think that as soon as ipfs generates the hashes(each file has a CID), (QmZhThQfd3SQh74oWnms4hJ5rxLQ3S2UyGFf3X5v47VtmA is the hash for the main kirsch folder), then it is saved locally. To retrieve that local file, a user would need the Multiaddr. Essentially, the protocol to the ipfs server on his PC. Or whatever computer he's using. Other wise it needs to be distributed. You can see an example of how the folder could be checked on this site. https://ipfs-check.on.fleek.co/

Not everyone wants to share huge files, so they can get paid through filecoin. Probably other ways too. That's not a requirement, it's just the scheme they devised to monetize the ipfs network.

Just in case you didn't realize it, we are at war. Always assume your accounts will be nuked. Always have 10 different backups on other platforms. Always keep a hard copy in the physical world on paper in a fireproof safe. I learned this valuable lesson after Twitter banned me for life for debating with a Muslim about the fundamental nature of Islam. Even when Musk purchased Twitter, my ban was upheld regardless of the fact there was no name calling, no racist language, no conspiracy theories. Most of it was direct quotes from the Qur'an and several different Hadiths (some of which are hard to get access to as a non-Muslim). I lost a lot of excellent debates and research I'd done regarding Islam and radical Islamists. Nobody cared. It's done to crush resistance and make your position harder to prove with established research. They want you disheartened and unwilling to repeat all that hard work. Don't give it them!

I don't think it's that simple, they don't have absolute control over the money supply, hence the push to digital ID's and digital currency. They realize they're vulnerable. Bud Lite is a flea on Anheuser Busch's ass, a 10% drop is Bud Lite sales is literally insignificant. Yes there are no peaceful solutions but do you think you stand a better chance of winning a hot war against this system or a financial guerilla war?

Like the N Z MOH suppressing/sensoring/punishing leaked Information, once you've done that, it's exactly the same as things you can NEVER take back. A Rock when it's thrown, Words when they've been spoken and Deeds when they're done. Suppressing/sensoring/punishing is an Amateur's way of having no Ground to Debate on and/or, because they know they've completely messed up and do NOT have an honest way out. The Media Puppets that cancel without warning or 'Trial' any relevant Articles are actually telling us just how controlled they actually are and should be considered to be Aiding and Abetting a felonious 'Cover-up' !! Judgement Day is closing in !!

Too bad you didn't respond to his query regarding injunction. Could have avoided the entire fiasco...

I notice you failed to post that part of the conversation...

The takeaway from this is NOT to host with this or that or those or Zims companies, the lesson here is that you should always have your data stored and backed up in your own possession, when your data is with someone else, especially a corporation, you are not in control of your data, someone else is.

Besides, I believe that this, and the arrest(s) of individuals https://kirschsubstack.com/p/warning-mega-and-wasabi-can-screw/comment/44856668 might be part of the psyop to legitimize this data, which, I believe, might be a honeypot to lure in influencers so as to later at some point discredit them by revealing the data to be dubious or outright false.

I say this because I believe that Igor Chudov is likely correct about his analysis of this data: https://www.igor-chudov.com/p/i-analyzed-the-leaked-nz-whistleblower?r=tby4s&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web

As you will see from the above article, there is now an update to the original article, so you might want to read that one as well, but as for myself, I still believe that this whistleblower leak is quite possibly planned and part of a psyop to control some narrative.

We won't know for certain for a while I expect.

It's not a psyop. I'm in NZ and know enough to know that and those who know, are saying nothing. It will (hopefully) come out in court.

Bottom line takeaway has always been, for me, never have anything "in the cloud" ever. Everything should be on separated external hard drives, and not just one.

Only put stuff in the cloud that you are prepared to lose if the dictators demand so.....
