  1. ¿Os acordáis que volví como un miserable a #Storj con el rabo entre las piernas para mi copia de seguridad de #TrueNAS deslocalizada?
    Ya os lo recuerdo.
    He hecho pruebas recuperando servicios, y en efecto, todo bien. Así que desactivo las copias en Backblaze.
    Dejaré algún tiempo las copias que hay allí, pero vamos que no tardaré en borrarlas.
    A su vez, debido a que consumo poquísimo de Storj y me van a cobrar 5 dólares sí o sí, he metido una copia de TODO lo que hay en el NAS.

  2. For the first time, I think one of my cats shut down my main #TrueNAS server. It runs VMs or apps for #Nextcloud, #Mastodon, #Storj, #Unifi, and #Wordpress. So that was neat! It was down from about 12-4pm today. After I noticed it was offline I found the curtain from the nearby window draped across the server. The power button is on top of the tower case. So I think a cat went to look out the window and walked across the power button! 😸❤️

  3. Today, they finally billed the the last bill. #storj didn't make it easy to delete the account.

    You need to click on the delete account button, use the confirmation checkbox, enter your password, enter your MFA token and enter a code they sent to your email address.

    Call me weird, but requiring that after making me delete all data and projects and pay all my bills, makes this step a quite overkill.

  4. It only takes one ISP outage and I'm thinking about moving from #Nextcloud to #Apple with their advanced data protection encryption on iCloud.

    Decentralized solutions like #Storj don't seem to be ready/fast. I want to store my libraries, have data backed up, accessible yet retain privacy.

    As much as I don't want endless subscriptions again, simplicity may be king here. Thoughts?

  5. A word about the deletion process of #storj that really bothered me.

    1. Before you can delete your account, you have to delete all buckets.
    2. To delete all buckets you have to delete all objects in these buckets
    3. Object interactions are rate-limited and doesn't work great from the WebUI. After trying over and over again, I installed their CLI and had to delete one bucket with > 2 Mio objects for 3 days straight.

  6. After almost a year I decided to drop #storj. Despite being officially partnered with TrueNAS, I wasn't really happy with it. They provided a good deal regarding storage pricing when I signed up last year, but Terms of Service changed through the year, they are still in this weird crypto business and have now been bought by an "AI" company.

    They introduced a $5 minimum payment level when they changed their terms.

    I switched to #scaleway with their glacier object storage for my backups.

  7. I filed a bug report for the #Storj v1.3.15 #TrueNAS app last night. This morning it was fixed and v1.13.16 deployed without issue. Impressive work!

  8. My #dems and #libs, generally on the correct side of history. But my goodness there are so many topics that require nuance (#AI and #Crypto are examples) where you are just the knee-jerk opposition to anything #maga. First, be happy, very happy #magas are getting cleaned in the age of fraud. If you keep debt low and smart, you will be left standing. Second, find out what things like #FET and #Storj are, ask yourself what happens if silicon is disrupted? And the AI feint, don't get me started...

  9. Paul Krugman is one of my heros but he is wrong about #crypto being strings of ones and zeros on servers that do nothing. The left is wrong about this too. Ok, chill, you are all correct about Bitcoin, it is crap. But #eth and #xrp, not nothing. They do things, they are programmable. #tez is a great, fast low carbon crypto, and #storj, #fet and #glm are all infrastructure compute cryptos. They are good for something, you can create S3 buckets with #storj! Go ahead and hate, and be left behind.

  13. Trying out photosplus.app.

    It is a bring-your-own-cloud #Mac, #iOS and #Android app for photo & video #backup. The apps are a little rough around the edges. For example, the menus and interactions are a bit weird.

    But it does what it says on the tin. Keeping it around to see if this can help break dependency on Big Tech while also saving on storage costs.

    I have tried both #Backblaze B2 and #Storj as storage backends on the app. So far Storj is much faster.

  14. I'm still against #bitcoin. But some things to think about here in terms of the green promise of #crypto more generally. I'm a compute person, I strongly support infrastructure cryptos like #storj, #fetchai, #golem and the like that do real work instead of guessing numbers for a reward. #greentechnology for example flaming off excess mathane would be better used doing real work or changing Bitcoin to proof of stake or mining #eth or #tez instead of bitcoin.

  18. I started to have #Storj, #e2ee distributed cloud object storage, host my static website which has been served via #GitHub Pages. It feels like response is as quick and speedy as it has been, and so far I'm satisfied. I'll leave it for a while to see if it works as expected.

  19. Ah yes, nothing makes me trust a storage provider more than quietly removing the free plan and holding the (previously uploaded) data hostage.
    #storj #storj.io
    I should have trusted my bad gut feeling when I found out storj was powered by a #crypto #blockchain.

    Now I have to pay to download my data so I can set up a way to self-host my images for my website.

  20. 💔 I'm really sad to say that I'm considering shutting down NixOrigin.one, my 1.5-year-old Pixelfed instance. I've been unable to resolve some issues for over a month, and I recently missed a storage bill, causing photo uploads and local photo viewing to stop working. Avatars aren't displaying either. I feel terrible that people have reached out to me on email and Twitter, and one person even deleted their account after I said it might take a few more days. The root of the problem is my empty wallet, and I'm determined to set up my own earning methods, but it will take time. I have some business ideas in mind. 💔

  30. Recap on Mastodon instance storage:
    - ZFS 5400rpm HDD: too slow with hundreds of thousands small files
    - Storj: too expensive in the long run because of the segment fee($0.0000088)
    - IDrive e2: timeouts on media upload 20% of time (over 1 minute object put time in some cases)
    - Backblaze B2: works well and I will probably settle on it

    There are also some alternatives:

    I've used #scaleway before, and their current plan for object storage is is confusing. #tebi has the same price as aws. #Storj still feels too janky. A friend of mine had a node for them for crypto. #Synology #synologyc2 bandwith is also quite expensive.

    Cloudflare also has r2 object storage, but still, expensive if you'd ask me: cloudflare.com/en-gb/products/

    So I rely on idrive and #cloudflare for the current solution 🧵
