> It's a clear signal that the marketing/financial teams have taken over the businesses Or that they're targeting the mass retail market, where people are technically ignorant, and "unlimited" is required to compete. And statistically-speaking, is viable as long as a company keeps its users to a normal distribution.
Is there an example of a consumer facing SaaS that's been able to handle the "unlimited" in a way you'd consider positive?
Ultimately the author is ranting about something that is likely an unintended bug where some update along the line reset the default exclusions list. It almost seems like they’re taking it personally as some kind of intentionally slight against them. Most users would not want Backblaze to back up other cloud synced directories. This default is sensible.
Hetzner storagebox. 1TB for under 5 bucks/month, 5TB for under 15. Sftp access. Point your restic there. Backup game done, no surprises, no MBAs involved.
Hetzner Storage Box is not even remotely a similar product to B2, considering the only reliability offered is the disks being in RAID. There is no geo-redundancy at all. The number of simultaneous connections is also quite limited, though this might not matter for many use cases.

Good old iOS and hidden features. Great discoverability. Long press those, swipe that, gesture this. I have a gesture for whoever decided "find in page" should go under share.
> I have a gesture for whoever decided "find in page" should go under share. You can also just type your search term into the normal address bar and there's an item at the bottom of the list for "on this page - find ". I'd never even seen the find-in-page button under share.

Long press is a shortcut, the longer way is to click on the icon beside the url and tap/click the enormous "reader mode" button.
That's what I've done for years. Long pressing is much more pleasant. I wish Apple would give us a hint rather than requiring us to chance upon this recommendation on HN.
The problem is Apple’s hints keep popping up even after you say no thanks or it’s fine.
AFAICT Backblaze does back up .git directories. I have many repos backed up. The .git directory is hidden by default in the web UI (along with all other hidden files), but there is an option to show them. You should try downloading one of your backed up git repos to see if it actually does contain the full history, I just checked several and everything looks good.

What are you using now? Asking for a friend
Not OP, but I have been using borg backup [1] against Hetzner Storage Box [2] Borg backup is a good tool in my opinion and has everything that I need (deduplication, compression, mountable snapshot. Hetzner Storage Box is nothing fancy but good enough for a backup and is sensibly cheaper for the alternatives (I pay about 10 eur/month for 5TB of storage) Before that I was using s3cmd [3] to backup on a S3 bucket.

The issue with a client app backing up dropbox and onedrive folders on your computer is the files on demand feature, you could sync a 1tb onedrive to your 250gb laptop but it's OK because of smart/selective sync aka files on demand. Then backblaze backup tries to back the folder up and requests a download of every single file and now you have zero bytes free, still no backup and a sick laptop. You could oauth the bac…
