edit: i assumed the parent did not know how to do that, i tried locally and it seemed to work, but i did not pay attention to the text original: on the left side of the url input field you'll find "AA"(the first smaller then the seconds), tap that then, near the bottom of the pop-up menu you'll have "Show Reader", tap that if you're not happy with the text as displayed then, you can go back to the "AA" menu and chang…

Not to be that guy, but it’s unreadable either zoomed in or in reader mode either horizontal or landscape on iOS. Colin, could the website be updated to the 2010s? :P
It's not Colin's fault that you're using a browser that can't render an html rendition of an email which has been widely in use since before iOS existed. This is entirely Safari's fault for not having good compatibility with a common existing webpage format. Anyway, if you're the intended audience (someone using tarsnap), you also received a copy to your email address, where you can read the text with your email read…

yes, people have been saying they should "charge more" for over a decade
Can you not be snide and please help me understand? It seems 50 times more expensive than B2. I'm genuinely curious about the product.

The service is a layer on top of S3 if that helps answer things. https://www.tarsnap.com/faq.html#is-tarsnap-reliable

Then the obvious question is "why would I use this instead of something else over S3" (ex. rclone), to which I think the answer is ease of use (don't need to deal with AWS yourself, encryption/deduplication/compression handled for you, nice interface), which isn't everything to everyone but is certainly useful.
blinks Ok, I really wasn't expecting this to land at the top of HN. I'd love to stick around to answer any questions people have, but it's 10PM and my toddler decided to go to bed at 5PM... so if I'm lucky I can get about 4 hours of sleep before she decides that it's time to get up. I'll check in and answer questions in the morning.
Why would I use your service over restic? God bless you Colin, but reading this, it appears you're the only one in charge of the infrastructure for this service. I'm glad you're clear about no SLA, but this seems like a big liability between me and my backups.

Wasabi does $7/TB with no ingress/egress fees. My NAS is set up to rclone to it about once a day and I've yet to have any problems

Aren't these storage prices absurd? Please let me know if I'm misunderstanding.
Tarsnap : $0.25 / GB storage, $0.25 / GB bandwidth cost
rsync.net : $0.015 / GB storage, no bandwidth cost
s3 : $0.023 / GB storage, some complicated bandwidth pricing
If tarsnap is built on top of s3, they're charging 10 times for the storage cost. Easy money from the uninformed?

I have written about this some time ago if you’re interested: https://www.franzoni.eu/ransomware-resistant-backups/
