I’m doing the archive tier which is cheaper than B2

I really wanted sia to take off. I wouldn’t trust it yet though.

Don’t use storj. I used to recommend them, but they have instituted a $5 minimum charge to have an account. The tl;dr is that they are interested in B2B, not individuals.

I’ve moved over to Tigris.

Here’s a follow up to the drama: https://forum.storj.io/t/a-follow-up-on-the-new-minimum-usage-fee-and-a-request-for-feedback/30089

Hit up the /r/storj for more drama if you dare to look at Reddit again :puke:

Look into storj and tardigrade. It’s a crypto thing, but don’t get scared. You back up to S3 compatible endpoints and it’s super cheap (and pay with USD credit card)

A few versions ago I upgraded it and some default port configs changed rendering it unusable. Since my upgrades are a docker command, I had to go hunt down the error message. It didn’t take long, but it def broke the setup.

Sad that you’re downvoted for being right.

Java apps can be memory hogs, but anything else can be too. The jvm is exceptionally performant for persistently running apps.

You might mention the library license of the underlying library, it’s strictly non commercial meaning yours is too.

Gitlab really pissed me off with their paid plans for work. We moved to GitHub, and while that’s not popular here, they offered everything we needed at nearly 1/4 the price.

Gitlab kept saying $99/user per month, no way to have different “classes” of users at different paid plans. Just awful.

I told them we were switching unless they came back with a fair offer. Ignored. Renewal time came up and I told them we weren’t renewing… Oh NOW they want to bargain and try to retain us??? F right off. Microsoft might be the devil, but they offer a good product for the price.

I used to self host gitlab, but they kept putting things behind the pay wall. GG.

Self hosting, Forgejo all the way!!

I moved over to TabloTV about 8 or 9 years ago. I got tied of fixing stuff when I would update something and Tablo just worked on the Roku without much fuss.

I’m still happy with and love the Tablo, but it’s no better than MythTV was, just easier to maintain.

I started cooking, period. My wife used to cook, now I do. It’s weird, but the pandemic totally flipped our roles.

This is what I’ve done on my last 2 cars. First was a Leaf that I leased dirt cheap. The second was a used Tesla at more than 1/2 off. I’m looking at a truck now and finding amazing deals on the '23 F150 lightnings. I’d prefer a Rivian and I’m not quite ready to let my Tesla go, but soooooon.

Someday, the deals will be harder to find, but for now take advantage!

There are many ways around this, like using intermediary services like PayPal or a privacy.com credit card with ephemeral numbers.

Crypto, while one way, is not the only way.

Reinventing the wheel is exactly why we should use open source libraries.

Expanding on other unintended outcome here: Different projects have different values. This takes no account for something like Spring vs Apache Commons IO. Or Rails vs nokogiri.

Libraries will be incentivized into breaking apart to maximize revenue.

This isn’t really unlike the unintended consequences of health insurance and how it leads to overpriced services with lots of indecipherable codes for service.

It’s about how the system rewards (pays) for the service. I’m all for supporting open source, but the proposals in this thread are disturbingly anti open source.

This wouldn’t work for a few reasons, but the most glaring is that it would incentive re inventing the wheel.

Sure, I’ll just travel to places to verify the source every time when I consume news. That’s reasonable!

I used it before and still use it. No issues with my $5 linode.

States rights!!

(Republicans: not like that!)

I couldn’t get it set up to allow each of my family members to have their own email address on the domain. It was basically the opposite of the “no catch all” feature other hosts seem to have - Outlook custom domain was 100% catch all to 1 account. I very quickly undid my partial setup and am back in Google for now.
