    me who was an idiot - should just have said "object storage", s3 is what amazon call their object storage provider.

  • @aeva 1 TB seems to be 3.20 EUR per month: https://www.hetzner.com/storage/storage-box/

    There are probably similar offers from other companies as well, because offsite backups at a different provider are a common requirement for professional deployments.

    OVH also has something, but their website is confusing, rather than a base price they charge per GB and month.

  • @aeva after a lot of looking my answer to this was crickets

    but I have two not-quite-adequate-but-still-worth-mentioning solutions

    there's several nextcloud vendors that have pretty decent prices, I rent my stuff from hetzner, about $5/month for 1TB of storage. if you don't know nextcloud, think "open source dropbox"

    but for my projects, what I settled on is a private forgejo instance. I have a little home cluster with 2TB in RAID1, and offsite backups at two different locations...

    and the only reason I can justify the maintenance cost of setting up and doing all this is because my particular brand of autism inexplicably classifies all this work into "leisure activities"...

    but yeah, if you happen to find a way to self host something like this, I can tell you it's going to be very snappy. if you've ever thought: "git doesn't work with binary assets files for games", that's just because you didn't have a full instance to yourself

  • @aeva yeah god

    also like. my history isn't in reality linear, right? like I'll try something and then I look at it and it's shit. so I go back a revision or two and start again and next time I save I probably save with whatever number is next up

    the linear history doesn't really reflect that

  • @finnmyrstad @pluralistic Dette er fantastisk! Gratulerer med helt nydelig video! Godt å se at forbrukerrådet er på ballen! Denne kommer jeg til å spre for alt det er verdt.

  • @aeva Backblaze, it's cheap as hell, you can encrypt your storage and the first 10gb is free

    I have 100GB sitting in it and it costs me $1 a month inc. tax

  • The video itself is pretty shitty. How it "informs" about enshittification without even using the c-word (capitalism) makes me wonder: is this a conscious choice (if so: what's the rationale behind this choice?) or a lack of consciousness?

    @stefano @christopher I am not sure if I'd say #Linux is becoming like #Windows. I do recall similar statements made on the Debian-User mailing list on a previous release when xorg introduced autoconfiguration. A lot of people were pissed that it was making choices for you instead of manually configuring the xorg.conf file.Honestly, that was a good thing. Painful doesn't begin to describe it but users were unaware they could still hand-configure the file.There has been, however, more stuff added to Linux over the last several years. Call it bloat, call it whatever you want. OSes change. But it has been gradually moving away from simplicity.I miss the simplicity.However, to reply to your original post, coming from COTS solutions, sometimes the vast amount of choice can be overwhelming. For instance, when it comes to #FreeBSD #jails it used to just be jails. Now, it's thin, thick, classic, networking. I understand they have their places but it would be helpful to provide more detailed explanations, tutorials, or best practices for each. The FreeBSD Handbook is good but just scratches the surface but often leaves more questions. It would help with learning and in part...marketing.On a side note: The FreeBSD Handbook is a great resource but there are opportunities to improve it, like tailoring it to new users (better empathy), best practices, architectural examples, and links to additional resources and info.

    @sharan then dual booting is going to be a huge PITN if you plan on having Linux as your primary, and the VM solution might be worth looking into. If Windows will remain your primary OS than it won't matter that much.
