queztion for my fellow gam-devs

@aeva they're not really meant for like. random access. but you still can basically just pull any file from the backup, with versioning as you configured it [this is the part that I found A Pain]. Backups are encrypted, so no one is training Fuck All on it. No web interface to nicely browse anything like dropbox or whatever, though, if that's a type of thing you would want.

@pupxel what happens if my house burns down

[pupxel@mastodon.gamedev.place]

@aeva phone a friend for offsite

[aeva@mastodon.gamedev.place]

@pupxel can i borrow ur nas

[pupxel@mastodon.gamedev.place]

@aeva if I had one maybe :3

[eleanor@booping.synth.download]

@aeva@mastodon.gamedev.place may not be the best suggestion but you can always pay a VPS provider and run your own nextcloud (or similar software) instance.

and/or encrypt your files before upload. you can't train on encrypted data even if you wanted to. veracrypt is the easy option i know of but almost any encryption works.

[aeva@mastodon.gamedev.place]

@pupxel u should get a nas

[pupxel@mastodon.gamedev.place]

@aeva someone needs to pay me so I can afford a rack

[aeva@mastodon.gamedev.place]

@halcy I use it often lol

[aeva@mastodon.gamedev.place]

@pupxel *hands u a ¢*

[halcy@icosahedron.website]

@aeva i do kind of wish there was just like. An Infinite or at least very long term undo list in blender instead. Like what if if just snapshotted the state of the file every 5 minutes with some reasonable amount of deduplication and you could just browse that like a timeline or use it later for timelapses. Wouldn’t that be sick

it‘s probably not feasible but *wouldn‘t that be sick*

[gyrosgeier@hachyderm.io]

@aeva Hetzner Storage Box, that comes with SMB/CIFS access, so it's a normal network drive, and you can use it as a target for the builtin Windows Backup and File History functions as well.

Besides access speed and latency, it's the same as having a local NAS box.

[code_disaster@mastodon.gamedev.place]

I'd probably go with something like Hetzner's Storage Box, but I don't know how far you get with e.g. 1 TB for the small version.

I could also see me setting up a VPS with syncthing for easier folder syncing to my local PC, but those usually come with a lot less drive space.

@GyrosGeier what's the ¢

[jalict@mastodon.gamedev.place]

@eleanor @aeva this does require some initial setup but honestly with s3 object storage (literally any provider) it is like 1 command to upload and 1 command to encrypt..

but like if you dont roleplay devops in your pasttime you might need like 30-60 mins of hand holding the initial setup.

[nina_kali_nina@tech.lgbt]

@aeva @pupxel you might be able to borrow my nas, but the latency would be bad

[aeva@mastodon.gamedev.place]

@halcy also would be nice if you could drop a tag here and there so you could go back and forth between revisions easily

[aeva@mastodon.gamedev.place]

@jalict @eleanor yeah hard pass on amazon
