@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*

queztion for my fellow gam-devs
is there an inexpensive service where I can 1) pay them money to 2) store files 3) privately 4) with a firm guarantee that they will not use them to train "models"?
I usually put my projects in some kind of free revision control system as a cheap form of offsite backup, but I'm at a loss of what to do with all my blend files and images
@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.

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 ¢

@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. -
@pupxel can i borrow ur nas

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

@nina_kali_nina @pupxel that's probably fine. I'm going to bed but I'll 🤙 later

@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

@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

@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
-
@GyrosGeier what's the ¢
@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.

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

One of the items in Rules for Standards-makers is don't design the format before you make the app. Instead, make an app, and when you're ready, make the file format public so people can interop (ie compete) so as not to lock users to in your software. If you do that you can say you are "of the web." If we all do that always, voila! — no more silos. Another rule is that you must use an existing format if it exists, because then you will interop with the other people who support that format. Gratuitous incompatibility is a sign of a silo-seeker and not conducive to standards. So, look first, if there are no usable formats, make your app and make your format public.

The Classism in British Society is really coming out with Hannah's election.
The way the Press say "she's a plumber", like a beloved family pet had won a drivers licence somehow...
