    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

  • @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?

    Selected highlights: The researchers divided the participants into different groups to test the specific effects of algorithmic personalization. One group served as a control and viewed a random assortment of items with all features available to inspect. Another group engaged in active learning, where they freely chose which categories to study without algorithmic interference. the study measured the participants’ confidence in their decisions using a rating scale from zero to ten. The analysis showed that participants in the personalized groups frequently reported high confidence levels even when their answers were wrong. This effect was particularly distinct when they encountered items from categories they had rarely or never seen during the learning phase. This indicates a disconnection between actual competence and perceived competence caused by the filtered learning environment. The participants were unaware that the algorithm had hidden significant portions of the information landscape from them. They assumed the limited sample they viewed was representative of the whole. The findings provide evidence that the structure of information delivery systems plays a significant role in shaping human cognition. By optimizing for engagement, current algorithms may inadvertently sacrifice the accuracy of user knowledge. This trade-off suggests that online platforms can shape not just what people see, but how they reason about the world.

    Everything has gone to...In January 2023, @pluralistic used the term "enshittification" on his blog, pluralistic.net, to describe the deterioration process of the TikTok network.Enshittification consists of four stages:1. Platforms are good for users2. Platforms abuse users to be good for business customers3. Platforms abuse business customers to keep all the profit4. Platforms die🧵 #thread #socialmedia #platforms #fediverse #activitypub #google #amazon #microsoft #enshittification
