I already use Backblaze as it's important to have off-site backups whenever possible. However, needing to wait several weeks to download my data is not always an option. I'm a digital hoarder and by that I mean I have >30TB of

Mastodon is doing decent in Japan - with well over 500,000 users. Thanks to Pixiv hosting pawoo.net. But if you do not have Japanese friends then it is pretty unlikely you have friends using Mastodon - as it isn't as popular in the U.S

I work in a tech-related healthcare field where I'm required to undergo HIPAA training and (often) end up needing to educate clients on potential violation risks. Nowhere as good as a lawyer but I deal with it on a daily basis at least

The same can be said thousands of 16 bit applications that are no longer supported on 64-bit architecture. Python 2.7 isn't being deleted from the face of the Earth. You're just going to have to pay people to maintain your legacy
