I use a VPN and Backblaze doesn't want my business. Captchas that never end. There are plenty of other cloud storage companies.
@dangillmor Maybe Backblaze?
@dangillmor Been seeing BYOD hard disk colocation as a new business model. You literally mail them a HDD or two (for mirroring) and they plug them in and give you a small VPS with a small amount of CPU, Ram and flash storage and you install an OS and configure it to do whatever the fuck you like with your disks. The data transfer allowance per month seem reasonable and it is like $20/month per disk. Just set up Syncthing on it with encryption and you've got secure off-site backup of tens of TB.
@dangillmor TBH I spoke to them once at a conf and they somehow got my contact details and were pretty aggressive with contacts/meeting requests. Pretty sure I had to block them in the end, was a few years back.
@dangillmor With my VPN, I'm finding this endless-captcha-loop happening more and more often on more and more sites as time goes on.
Practicing internet hygiene is getting more impractical as time goes on.
@dangillmor yes gosh. heard good things about Tarsnap, for backups
