I've connected on a colocated server that's on a switch with a gigabit pipe from Hurricane Electric, which peers with SpiderOak's ISP. This should rule out ISP throttling completely, as the only ISPs involved are transit prov

Thanks a lot for the response, it's nice to hear from you and it sounds like you've done a lot to improve, just from the numbers. > I think perhaps you might mean 2015 instead of 2016. Looking back, yeah, you're right. Sor

The problem with Borg is that it requires an actual mounted FS or SSH (with a live mounted FS on the other end). You can't just point it at offline storage. Totally a great option if you do have live storage to backup to but personally

I'm the customer in question and I'm totally fine with what he said. Nothing personal was disclosed, only that SpiderOak wasn't able to find the issue (which I said myself) and that billing was suspended (I neglected to menti

Amazon didn't have to compete with AWS, Azure and GCP, Facebook does and Facebook doesn't have nearly as much of a record providing infrastructure to businesses. Cloud is a hard market to get into now.

They've inflated metrics in the past: http://www.businessinsider.com/facebook-video-views-exaggera... I'm not sure if there's any standards between platforms for these things that allow you to compare though.

I think by "S3-like API", OP likely meant an actual S3-compatible API such as that provided by other competitors (off the top of my head, Google Cloud Storage).

Because the service is cheap, comes with a ton of storage and is convenient. Few average people care about their privacy online.

I'm curious whether this'll change when the NBN is more prominent. Does anyone know what their peering policy is/will be? I had a look around but couldn't find anything.

They only operate in Europe where computing services are generally cheaper and they seem to be running on processors that are a few years old. It's not outdated old but there's a chance the servers are what remain after a more pre

Plenty of people on Reddit's /r/DataHoarder have done far more than that, easily into the tens of TBs. The problems come when you upload unencrypted copyrighted content or try to download more than 1TB in a single day.

Plex is basically acting as a proxy though, so there's no way for a complainant to know that Google Drive is involved.

Google Drive and Dropbox both have extensive history regarding the storage of copyrighted content which basically boils down to storing it is fine, sharing it through the platform is not. This is even in their policies. I believe the DMCA i

No. Plex doesn't support encryption, the data coming from the cloud providers needs to be plaintext. Google Drive and Dropbox have shown in the past that they're fine with you storing copyrighted content, you just can't sh

You can get unlimited data from Google Drive and Dropbox for about the price of 1TB, you just need to use a business account. This seems to be the main solution for the people I know who are using this.

The draw of Plex (cloud or otherwise) is that it handles all that for you. It'll transcode to the correct format and even embed subtitles if you need it to. On the backend it uses ffmpeg so it should support pretty much any format. I t

It's not about downloading the CP, it's about distributing it. Sending a link may not be distribution, while sending the image itself is.

It's nice but I think you need to test on more than 2 instances per provider. Things can vary _a lot_ and I think benchmarks like this should collect a lot more data. With Ansible and such it's not too difficult to set up and run
