just curious - any particular reason to not enable gzip compression for responses?

    nginx for example can enable gzip by content-type or depending on gzip_min_length, it's very flexible. All in all, just curious if there's a deeper reason.

    So..8tb vs 4tb? If paying for bw.. Seems reasonable?

      The gzip version is actually the larger of the two.

        Indeed. Missed it because of required side-scrolling on mobile.
