Not average, but normal. What I mean is, they just have a plain old rsync.net account and pay no premium nor incur any penalty for using all of those inodes. You are correct: the average customer does not use billions of inodes.

I see it speculated, downthread, that this is a response to modern web-dev and node (?) creating millions of files, etc. I can’t comment on that but I do know that modern, encrypted, archive tools such as duplicity and borg and restic “ch

5M files. Pfft. If your cloud storage account can’t gracefully handle that and keep that handling totally transparent to you you should move on. I’m sure there must be some provider out there that can handle that uninteresting workload …

Nit: it devalues fixed rate debt. I’m not sure if poor or “working class” demographics have enough exposure to fixed rate debt to make inflation a net gain. If they are homeowners, likely it is: most people knew better to take out ARMs t
