I read your reply as liberal clockbait, still applicable 100%

There’s so much to legit be mad at and folks have to post this stupid shit?

I’m doing the archive tier which is cheaper than B2

I really wanted sia to take off. I wouldn’t trust it yet though.

Don’t use storj. I used to recommend them, but they have instituted a $5 minimum charge to have an account. The tl;dr is that they are interested in B2B, not individuals.

I’ve moved over to Tigris.

Announcement: https://forum.storj.io/t/new-minimum-usage-fee-starting-july-1/30057/1

Here’s a follow up to the drama: https://forum.storj.io/t/a-follow-up-on-the-new-minimum-usage-fee-and-a-request-for-feedback/30089

Hit up the /r/storj for more drama if you dare to look at Reddit again :puke:

Look into storj and tardigrade. It’s a crypto thing, but don’t get scared. You back up to S3 compatible endpoints and it’s super cheap (and pay with USD credit card)

I can’t upvote this comment enough. I grow so angry at Gitlab ci and GitHub actions. Even Jenkins got in on the junk.

Just use normal build tools and you can use whatever cruft you want around it with just a few lines instead of monster ci file that goes out of date next year.

A few versions ago I upgraded it and some default port configs changed rendering it unusable. Since my upgrades are a docker command, I had to go hunt down the error message. It didn’t take long, but it def broke the setup.

Sad that you’re downvoted for being right.

Java apps can be memory hogs, but anything else can be too. The jvm is exceptionally performant for persistently running apps.

I live in a large city suburb. It was a licensed electrician. Still $300ish.

External conduit in the garage, about 12ft, so not terrible.

My level 2 charger cost $600 and I paid an electrician to install a 240V plug for 2 hours and parts (~300 IIRC). I wouldn’t say “thousands”. Maybe a thousand plus some if you want a fancier charger.

You might mention the library license of the underlying library, it’s strictly non commercial meaning yours is too.

Gitlab really pissed me off with their paid plans for work. We moved to GitHub, and while that’s not popular here, they offered everything we needed at nearly 1/4 the price.

Gitlab kept saying $99/user per month, no way to have different “classes” of users at different paid plans. Just awful.

I told them we were switching unless they came back with a fair offer. Ignored. Renewal time came up and I told them we weren’t renewing… Oh NOW they want to bargain and try to retain us??? F right off. Microsoft might be the devil, but they offer a good product for the price.

I used to self host gitlab, but they kept putting things behind the pay wall. GG.

Self hosting, Forgejo all the way!!

If you’re thinking of something like $1-2/month, also consider doing a 30 dollar 1 time thing (it saves on transaction fees) and you basically just paid for 2-3 years of donations.

Lemmy… or Reddit, but probably Lemmy.

It can be worse, we had to add a captcha for those link scanners cause they’d submit the forms and invalidate tokens too:(

I moved over to TabloTV about 8 or 9 years ago. I got tied of fixing stuff when I would update something and Tablo just worked on the Roku without much fuss.

I’m still happy with and love the Tablo, but it’s no better than MythTV was, just easier to maintain.

Be ready to deal with a backup plan. Consumer services like Backblaze don’t work with Linux.

I have opted into backing my data up to a local network NAS machine which in-turn backs all of its data up to a StorJ backed s3:// compatible endpoint which is very inexpensive.

This is what I’ve done on my last 2 cars. First was a Leaf that I leased dirt cheap. The second was a used Tesla at more than 1/2 off. I’m looking at a truck now and finding amazing deals on the '23 F150 lightnings. I’d prefer a Rivian and I’m not quite ready to let my Tesla go, but soooooon.

Someday, the deals will be harder to find, but for now take advantage!
