Fixed just for you :) I always forget that tag.

I'm a restic user, but have resisted the urge to attempt a bikeshed for a long time, mostly due to perf. It's index format seems to be slow and terrible and the chunking algorithm …

That's been a feature of S3 for quite a long time now, called S3 Select https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonS3/latest/userguide/select... Despite it being an awesome feature I've bee…

Modern .net on Linux is lovely, you can initialize a project, pull in the S3 client and write a 1-3 line C# program that AOT compiles to a single binary with none of the perf issue…

I recently bought an n100 and within a matter of days got buyer's remorse and impulse-purchased an n305 to go right beside it, which is currently sitting with a wildly overpriced 4…

CloudFlare does not provide unmetered anything, at best they provide services on a discretionary basis while trying as hard as possible to make it appear this is not the case. It's…

I prefer your version: Barr replies to a tweet before gatecrashing the next S3 planning session. "A customer is hurting , folks!". The call immediately falls silent with only occas…

Can't imagine a change like this would be made without some analysis.. would love an internal view into a decision like this, I wonder if they already have log data to compute fina…
