- dinvlad 3y agoYes, for redundancy it could be useful, but doesn’t change the affordability materially.

- wkdneidbwf 3y agothere is human cost associated with operating this that s3 and other fully managed object stores don’t have. there is just no reality where you build your own service for this with better reliability, less management, and less maintenance than s3 (and when i say s3 i’m including all managed object stores). pointing at hetzner and saying, “look how cheap this is”, is missing the point.
