Brian posted a histogram a while back on HN showing the backup size distribution of the unlimited customers. There was one customer backing up over 400TB. But, more than 50% of customers were backing up less than 300GB. IOW, they are pay

Fingering is largely a planning problem. If your RH thumb is on C and the next note is D, it's obvious you play it with 2. But if the next note is the B below, you'd have to do something awkward to play it. So having your RH th

Learning rotation is important and there are lots of Taubman videos on YT that explain it in detail, usually with scales. In a nutshell, there is the concept of single rotation and double rotation. When finger-to-finger movement is in one

I checked out a Temperpedic at a mattress store and liked it, but didn't like the $3-4K price tag. After checking on Amazon, I bought this one, figuring that for less than $300, if I hated it and bought the $3K mattress, an extra $300

I just checked, and Scaleway's object store pricing is 0.01 euros/GB/mo (0.012 cents/GB/mo) vs Backblaze at 0.005 cents/GB/mo, so Scaleway is 2.4x more expensive at today's exchange rate: 0.012/0

B2 also has a 1GB/day free egress allowance, which is what HashBackup uses to keep remote backup space optimized at no cost (I'm the author).

I'm the author of HashBackup. What I like about Backblaze B2 is that is has simple, no gimmick pricing, unlike almost every other cloud storage company. It doesn't have delete penalties, where they charge for storage you've

It would be very easy to test this by backing up a new Windows machine and monitoring outgoing network transfers. If you can backup an entire newly-installed Windows machine and don't see any significant transfers, it is being deduped

Brian from Backblaze posted a graph for 2018 showing how much data customers were backing up. More than 50% of customers were backing up less than 300GB. They're paying $6/mo for backups that would cost only $1.50/mo on B2.

I think the parent post is about the PC Backblaze backup service, not B2. The PC backup service does backup everything, and part of the reason for that is to make it extremely easy to setup. If they allowed selection of what to backup, it

(Author of Hashbackup) B2 pricing is 0.5 cents/GB/mo, R2 is 1.5 cents/GB/mo. B2 egress is 1 cents/GB/mo with 1GB/day free, R2 is free. If your cloud storage is for backups, B2 is likely to be less

I'm author of HashBackup and regularly run performance comparisons between object storage services. While I agree than S3 performance is generally better than B2, I personally have not seen a 10x difference in egress performance. Here
