Who are we?

We are digital librarians. Among us are represented the various reasons to keep data -- legal requirements, competitive requirements, uncertainty of permanence of cloud services, distaste for transmitting your data externally (e.g. government or corporate espionage), cultural and familial archivists, internet collapse preppers, and people who do it themselves so they're sure it's done right. Everyone has their reasons for curating the data they have decided to keep (either forever or For A Damn Long Time). Along the way we have sought out like-minded individuals to exchange strategies, war stories, and cautionary tales of failures.

We are one. We are legion. And we're trying really hard not to forget.

Anyone have thoughts about backblaze?

I pushed some data to it. Pretty happy with their default tool for uploading from a linux box.

Only issue is I picked the wrong region and no way to flip it without a new account which is a bit annoying.

0.005 cents is pretty decent for a GB/month.

I use them for an online copy of my backup. They're very cheap and I've got nothing bad to say about them. I use rclone to sync a local borgbackup repo to it, which gives me a couple copies for redundancy.
