But Apple holds out the purported security of the IOS app store ecosystem[0] as the reason to pay them $1k for a phone (and the cheapest IOS phone is $450!) and 30% rent seeking for all transactions on the phone, and why they kick apps ou

I agree. There will always be an attacker who knows more or who used methods that you would not choose. It's inevitable that some things will leak. Defense in depth will help mitigate the risk and contain the fallout. (extreme paranoia

10 petabytes at AWS is $210,000 per month just for storage (even excluding AWS's very high egress and transaction pricing), so even $1M (which seems like a high estimate indeed) would be amortized in less than six months. Also, the har

At that kind of scale, S3 makes zero sense. You should definitely be rolling your own. 10PB costs more than $210,000 per month at S3, or more than $12M after five years. RackMountPro offers a 4U server with 102 bays, similar to the BackBlaz

I agree, the FTDI cable seems to be the way to go. Also works great with vintage Palm (pilot) devices. This $12 FTDI adapter worked great for me on the first try (no affiliation): https://amazon.com/gp/product/B006

Yikes, did you have it on UPS? How did a power issue kill your server? A big spike? Most filesystems like XFS should be able to fsck even after a power drop, especially with RAID. (I prefer RAID-10 for speed of rebuilds.)
