- hobarrera 10y agoSound like a poorly founded rant: * No need to use DMS, cron emails you the output of your tasks anyway. A three-line script can be used to "only email on error". * The proposed pricing model goes against everything that tarsnap stands for, charging arbitrary amounts placing users in arbitrary ranges. * The proposed pricing model means a 13x price increase for me (WTF!?). * No need to be a sysadmin or anything alike to configure it. Granted, it's not for the masses, but for anyone in the tech industry, it's just a matter of RTFM. Want something for end-users? Write a nice UI wrapper around tarsnap and overcharge that. Same backend, different product.
