#132Why wouldn't I trust a vibe coded app that has existed for 1 week with all my important data?
Because you can self-host it all and validate the source yourself!
How can I practically verify 2TB of a life's worth of files while guaranteeing I won't have data loss due to some edge cases and race conditions that delete my data.
Every time I've created my own backup script I realized knowing what to delete and when is not easy. IMO the practical solution to this is to just pay for more storage (within reason).

In fairness, you can also have that experience with Microsoft OneDrive.

#136Google drive pricing is cheaper than S3/Google cloud storage for storage.

#137The thing I find interesting about apps made by Claude et. al. is that they always fallback to using dotenv for configuration. I thought dotenv was on its way out! Personally, I've been using sOPs for this purpose.

How can you guarantee you'll have access to your 2TB Google Drive when they ban your Google account for breaching terms or accidentally tripping a circuit breaker across one of their offerings?
Yup, pay more but get 2 providers.

#139Wouldn’t this be way more expensive?
Example 2TB:
Google $10/mo vs S3 ~&45/mo?
You could get cheaper that Google Drive with glacier tiers but that’s a different level of restrictions and still has retrieval fees.

If you use S3 Standard - Infrequent Access then it is $25/mo.
