@backblaze Hi - I did identify the issue; Docker creates these 64 GB image files that aren't actually 64 GB but appear that size – Backblaze thinks they're actually 64 GB which was more than my free space despite the actual size being 2-3 GB. I've added this file to my ignore list now.

@Hetzner_Online @notdan @JoshFarwell @backblaze Your interpretation of 'protect' is this issue here, abuse reports for single byte UDP packets is not protecting and you hinder the actual valuable security work being conducted, stop being internet police get rekt honestly

@Hetzner_Online @JoshFarwell @backblaze Feel free to p*** this thread to your "executives" - I wonder if they realize how many transit providers and hosting companies ignore your company's abuse emails, specifically. Then when ACTUAL abuse happens, we don't see it. Tone it down and focus on your own customers.

@notdan @backblaze B2 also supports static site hosting which is another plus because I like to use s3 for that kinda stuff. I'm planning to migrate from S3 to B2 for some things. My main issue is getting out of AWS lock-in that requires S3 for some handy stuff like their databases that I like.

@bizzyunderscore @backblaze i didnt have any issue finding where their datacenters and POPs were. They are not a trillion dollar company, so obviously it's going to be a tad less than Amazon. For now. The more people that move over there, the better it'll get.

@kittynouveau Agree with others that Windows defender is good enough for most. I’d also suggest Backblaze for backups. If you accidentally delete something they have a thirty day retention and it’s sixty bucks a year with no charge for space. I was able to get all of my photos after a crash

Hey, @backblaze? Instead of forcing users to uninstall your product and re-upload hundreds of gigabytes of data, why don't you try fixing the "bzfileids.dat too large" issue? Granted, it's only been at least THREE ****ING YEARS since you were aware of this issue, but still...

@ctschroeder Yikes about not syncing! I just looked it up, and we have been using Backblaze since 2012! I get a weekly update email telling me everything is working, and I recently got a warning when things were amiss on my computer. Easy to fix and the first real “problem” I had.

@mariosundays @j_ssuarez My current setup is an external RAID, that backs up daily with Backblaze. Local files always, and with Backblaze I can pull specific files or download the whole drive if there's ever an issue. I even sync client DB folders to that drive so they're backed up for me as well.

@_lennart Backblaze B2 is the cheapest option, I think. 4TB would be $20/mo. S3-compatible. I just point Restic at it and forget about it. The problem with the safe deposit box approach is the resistance involved in actually doing it once a quarter (esp. during a pandemic)

@backblaze There is nothing more heartbreaking than getting a call to help someone recover from a computer problem and getting a response of “no” when you ask them “do you have a backup of your data?” Not that it happened yesterday while I was shoveling my driveway, or anything.

@EdRT @MoonGovernor @JordanUhl In 2019 Backblaze can store 1PB for $35,000. Storage is not a concern. Security is an easy software problem. ****ysis is more challenging, but it's possible to train speech recognition to specialized environments, even to specific officers. This is completely doable TODAY.

@dmkjr @wasabi_cloud Yeah that's really crazy. I'm glad I don't have anything important in production on wasabi yet but it's scary that they're willing to let it go down for 14+ hours now. Hope they make sure it doesn't happen again in the future, although I may be over at @backblaze by that point...
