What happens if that port fails or beaks? Your laptop stops working... I'm not a fan of their single-port decision either, but in fairness: Every laptop stops working when the charging port breaks. No matter how many other ports it m

= success rsync.net is 20x more expensive than Google Nearline ($0.20/GB). Why would anyone choose to use it for Arq when Arq supports both?

I suppose the NSA probably gets the key when it gets transmitted [...] Am I missing something here? I'm not sure if you're being serious or sarcastic. ;) Anyway, if you don't care who has access to your backups then obvious

For many people waiting 3 days is more attractive than paying the ~$1000 that it would cost to retrieve it in one day from Glacier.

I'm using Arq with DreamObjects currently (hope Google support will be added soon), backing up two laptops and a desktop, total backup size ~3T. I can hardly recommend it high enough. The only minor niggles that I've run into were

by moe 12y ago
Well, I would guess the number of people who need to backup 4T is rather small. My thinking is that most people likely max out well below the 0.5T that the same $5 buys you on Google now, making that variant actually cheaper for them than B

This is a nail in the coffin of the SaaS backup industry (Backblaze, RescuePlan, etc.). With storage becoming essentially free the last excuse for not using self-hosted, secure backup tools like Arq[1] disappears. [1] http://w

Perhaps we can suggest this syntax: s.add "WHERE foo > ?", bar I'd say stick with keeping it a string and use: s.add "WHERE foo > $(bar)" but many query builders nowadays are very well thought out, a

The only real difference here is Sequel.lit Well, no. I repeat: The real difference is that most people can't write even this utterly trivial snippet without studying the Sequel documentation first. Now what if I want a WHERE-clause?

How do you make that not vulnerable to injection unless you're escaping all variables that might be used in a query? It was just a mockup. But you are right, in reality it would end up looking more like this (and use custom interpola

if the end result of that query will be Product instances, why am I using a Select object to create them Because we can just infer the type to be returned via the FROM-clause of the query. and why is it having to do some sort of string p

How exactly are you going to "just write SQL" if the actual query statement needs to change based on the user input? How about something like this: s = Select.new s.add "WHERE title LIKE #{title}" if title s.ad

Well then by your definition, nobody can be ‘overcome by the little guy’ That was not my point, the big guy can of course always be overcome. It's just not a very interesting case to debate because only 0.000001% of our burger flippe

I'm the little guy. Just the average 'little guy' with 3 spare apartments... I'd wager the guess most $8/hr burger flippers (or $12/hr Uber drivers) might disagree with your self-assessment.

Hey, I have one of these... it's called an iPod shuffle. Which curiously uses the headphone jack as an USB port[1]. Perhaps there's hope for someone to hack up at least an USB2.0 port on the MacBook using this method? [1] http:

A person flipping burgers for $8/hr could buy a grill and 5x their income and easily run the administrative part of their new venture from a smart phone. Umm. Yes. All those stupid burger flippers, why don't they just buy grills

As long as the machine is on, can't the attacker ask the YubiKey to generate signatures on their behalf? For the 2FA OTP portion: No. The button needs to be physically touched. For the PGP (ssh) portion: Yes. (but again, the attacker

It may not be the purest usage mode but even a permanently inserted YubiKey protects you when your password got sniffed on the network or by a keylogger. Moreover the YubiKey also acts as a PGP smartcard, giving you a private key (for e.g.

surprised this wasn't addressed in the keynote. I can see a lot of clever Apple-y solutions to this problem. It wasn't addressed because Apple offers no solution (yet?).

I love it. It pains me that I can't use my YubiKey with it, which is a dealbreaker for me. Guess I'll have to wait for the next iteration, which will hopefully "change everything, again" and add a second USB port...

I'm not sure why you're getting downvoted, what you say is true. Apple did not invent the 'sub-notebook' form factor. There have been many notebooks without optical drives before it.

They picked USB. And thank goodness they did. The "U" in USB may finally become reality. It's overdue.

Apples, to apples please. You are right, I should have compared to S3 reduced redundancy, sorry. So we're down to $582k (S3-RR) vs $270k (Hetzner) vs $150k (own hardware). That's still a healthy 2x-4x difference. Glacier If yo
