It’s a miracle, he’s cured!

all my back ups are what they should be

Are you sure? While the cloud backups may not affect you the exclusions might, afaict no one even knows what exactly is excluded.

From the link:

This annoyed me. Firstly I needed that folder and Backblaze had let me down. Secondly within the Backblaze preferences I could find no way to re-enable this. In fact looking at the list of exclusions I could find no mention of .git whatsoever.

Which strongly implies that there might be other important folders that aren’t backed up. (Without .git inside a git folder it is no longer a git repository)

I don’t use backblaze but from the outside it looks like they’re cutting costs by worsening the backups to reduce storage usage.

Backblaze quietly stopped backing up .git, mounted remote storage and maybe more without showing the user what they’ve stopped backing up?

Dread it. Run from it. Enshitification arrives all the same.

Yes

forcing many users to consider the unthinkable “Do I really need 300 subscriptions?”

How would you know?

“Change comes from within”
“Look inside yourself”
“A full cavity search is not free”

Look on the bright side, it’s only 3,5 days of downtime a year.

Well, normally I’d agree but in this case I’d guess that more people have watched the video than read the blog. That’s the order in which I stumbled on it too.

Edit: Also:

I’m working more with older SBCs and microcontrollers now, and I think that’s the direction many in the hobbyist space are going.

In the embedded video he talks about it from 4:40-5, then talks about microcontrollers and mentions used hardware (though says it’s also affected by price hike).

Switched to self-hosted Forgejo already so now I’m just waiting for my dependencies to switch.

10 minutes ago my forgejo test failed because github returned a 502 for the home-manager repo •-•

For even more context: That means that 89% of the time all parts that make up github work without issue. 11% of the time at least one component has issues/downtime.

https://mrshu.github.io/github-statuses/ shows the breakdown, git push/pull operations for example have 98.98% uptime.

The thing that these complaints about RPi pricing complaints always seems to miss is that that was talked about in the blog.

Don’t know yet but it seems to just be running on fumes.

Use a VPN, it’s not ideal but it’s secure.

When does your Server actually pull the repo though?

Well, there’s me, my alts and you
