It’s so rare that we get a new video, but it’s always a special day when it happens.

Yup: Backblaze Product and Pricing Updates

I plan to switch over later when it makes sense to - the nice thing about Backblaze is that it scales with your storage, whereas with Hetzner you have to jump from 1 TB to 5 TB.

It’s for storing a few terabytes of fairly static media (for the most part, write-once). The codebases using it don’t natively support object storage (and will be in Docker containers).

It’s on a Hetzner server, and Backblaze (even after the price increase) will be a lot cheaper than normal drives, although their storage box option is probably better value over about two GB.

You mean community, btw (sh.itjust.works is the instance).

When I last used Debian, I found myself very annoyed with the lag in the package manager. This is a very long time ago (15 years?), so probably isn’t the case any longer. However, due to laziness (or proactively avoiding a bikeshed rabbit hole) I didn’t check and just chose Ubuntu over Debian the other day because of that.

FYI, the www-less version doesn’t work for me, try https://www.sci-hub.st/

(Somehow I ended up on an old version before reporting this here)

Yeah, the original thin clients were basically useless without the server they connected to, but nowadays even computers the size of a stick of gum are plenty powerful enough for consuming webpages and videos.

You still need peripherals like mouse, keyboard and screen but you might get them as part of the package (sounds like you already have them though).

What did you move on to, and what features made you move?

my account is still 100% storj token funded

That seems to be the key bit, since everyone can use up to 25TB (if they can pay for it). Are you also hosting a node to earn credits tokens?

I love Mermaid, although I don’t think you can currently do network diagrams. I’ve seen Kroki recommended here for doing that, which supports Mermaid plus many similar markup-based diagrammers.

I was going to say my notes are in Joplin, but my more honest answer is basically yours.

My SSH auth uses SSH keys stored in authorized_keys, but I see your point. For me, OpenLDAP will be letting users in to the various services and SSH is outside that. I suppose SFTP could be something I want, but I’d be tempted to put a new sshd inside a container and have it more restricted than the system one.

I think the backup key idea is definitely the most broadly applicable, but there’s physical/KVM for a more old school access route.

You can star comments or posts to save them, it might be under the ⋮ menu. You can view your saved posts in your profile.

What’s your DR plan? My “plan” is to SSH in and figure out what’s wrong.

They do seem almost too good to be true. I might use those for when I want lots of little, disposable servers (like regional game servers) but I’d be scared trusting critical stuff to them.

On the other hand, https://lowendtalk.com/ users seem to have rated them highly (not that I’d heard of that site before today either!).

Overall, definitely worth the risk at that price, thanks for the heads up.

The most crucial thing for me back when I learnt to not treat cash point says no = I’m broke was that: simply tracking my spending. When I had a better idea of where it was going, it was easier to cut back.

The other thing was always know your balance, which helped say no to things that were going to take me too close to skint.

I guess the third thing is understanding compound interest, but that came after I was on the path to financial health.

As others have answered your main question, I’ll just point out that on Firefox you can search through your open tabs by adding % before your search. I imagine the other browsers have a similar feature.
