Hey, a fellow mallu, just wanted to send my appreciation on the product. It literally looks great, my kudos to your illustrator and FE developers. Best wishes!
Why do you have to say this? Why say mallu instead of saying a fellow Indian?
Hi, your plans are capped at 2TB ($200/yr). Any chance to get higher tiers? Looking for 15tb...

This works great, until you have coordinated failures, e.g. due to a firmware bug that's dependent on the uptime of the disk ( https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32031243 ). RAID is only useful as long as you don't suffer more simultaneous disk failures than you've provisioned for (where "simultaneous" is dependent on your time-to-repair, since if it takes you a week to replace a dead drive, then two failures in th…
That's why I suggested replacing at most 2 disks at the same time. But you could just one extra year and replace all of them one by one. Or you can just use some dumb & cheap storage backend (in the cloud) as an extra backup layer, which you can easily replace at any moment if costs go wild or it goes bankrupt, without having to change the user experience.
Depending on how much data you have to archive and frequency of access, it may very well be worth the cost to entirely offload opex and capex to cloud storage.
AWS Glacier Deep Archive in us-east-1 is $1/TB/month (GCP and Azure offer comparable pricing for archival storage). If you have 5x 4TB SSDs that, say, run you $200 each, and you run RS(5,3) then you're storing 12TB of data for $1000 of capex for 5-10 years. Meanwhile AWS would set you back $144/year, so the breakeven on capex alone would be if you would normally rotate your disks every 7 years.
Hey, Ente's CEO here. We had opensourced our server[1] yesterday, which is perhaps why we are on the front page. Stoked to be here Ente had launched on HN[2] a while ago and has been sustainably growing since. We took the feedback from our Show HN seriously and have since - undergone a cryptography audit [3] - published our replication strategy [4] - added requested features (family plans, collaborative albums and li…

About auth, I'm not sure the claim in the readme is entirely correct:
> Two years ago, while building Ente Photos, we realized that there was no open source end-to-end encrypted authenticator app.
Surely bitwarden existed and had 2fa support two years ago? Granted it's not only an authenticator app...
Ed:[I guess 2fa is/was a pay-only feature, so only source-available? ]
Looks like auth is a great dedicated 2fa app by the way, surprised I've not come across it before.

Also, the feature to store 2FA tokens is only available on Bitwarden's paid plan, while with Ente it's free.
