This is terrifying. Aren't Backblaze users paying per-GB of storage/transfer? Why should it matter what's being stored, as long as the user is paying the costs? This will absolutely result in permanent data loss for some subset of their users. I hope Backblaze responds to this with a "we're sorry and we've fixed this."
That's a good warning
> Backblaze had let me down. Secondly within the Backblaze preferences I could find no way to re-enable this.
This - the nail in the coffin
To the author: please use a darker font. Preferably black. I’m only in my 40’s, I don’t require glasses (yet) and I have to actively squint to read your site on mobile. Safari, iPhone. I’m pretty sure you’re under the permitted contrast levels under WCAG.
Safari’s reader mode is good for this. All you have to do is long press the icon on the left edge of the address bar.

Completely agree with this comment. Had to cut / paste it into vim and q! when done, was getting a headache.
Use this command in the developer tools console to change the color.

Ironically drop box and one drive folders I can still somewhat understand as they are "backuped" in other ways (but potentially not reliable so I also understand why people do not like that). But .git? It does not mean you have it synced to GitHub or anything reliable? If you do anything then only backup the .git folder and not the checkout. But backing up the checkout and not the .git folder is crazy.
Managing backup exclusions strikes again. It's impossible. Either commit to backing up the full disk, including the 80% of easily regenerated/redownloaded etc. data, or risk the 0.001% critical 16 byte file that turns out to contain your Bitcoin wallet key or god knows what else. I've been bitten by this more times than I'd like to admit managing my own backups, it's hard to expect a shrink-wrapped provider to do muc…
> Pinning this squarely on user error. It isn't user error if it was working perfectly fine until the provider made a silent change. Unless the user error you are referring to is not managing their own backups, like I do. Though this isn't free from trouble, I once had silent failures backing up a small section of my stuff for a while because of an ownership/perms snafu and my script not sending the reports to stderr…
Preferably cheap and rclone compatible.
Hetzner storagebox sounds good, what about S3 or Glacier-like options?
