If you make a backup with a tool like Borg that creates encrypted archives, then using AWS S3 glacier is the cheapest.
What's bad about it: if you ever need those files again, it's going to be VERY expensive to download them again, so it has to be treated as the "what if a nuke hits my city and all the local and off-site backups are vaporized" solution
Also: it's not recommended to directly host plain files, they need to be in an archive format with big chunks, as the API calls that are used to list them during sync are counted in a very expensive way
I set garage via docker and it was not impossibly hard.
Main problem is that there isn't an admin panel and you can't login to the docker container via docker exec, so you have to write some python (or other language of your choice) to send requests to the API port to:
With paid certificates you can target ancient and unsupported operating systems like windows XP and android 2, letsencrypt is relatively recent and it's not present in the root certificates of those systems
I made something crude with python and flask, but it's only to print address labels, always the same settings (paper size and so on)
So i just put a textbox, press the button and it prints there.
When printing generic stuff, you would need to set paper type, paper size, color or BW, if have both sides printed, if printing from a specific tray, then some kind of user authentication (i am lazy and i didn't care about privacy so i used cloudflare access), so the complexity becomes much bigger.
Before making my crude script I searched long time for a free or cheap solution, but I didn't find. If you find, let me know
He actually did that. It's not me saying "huh but at least fdm is less toxic than resin".
If you make a 20 minutes video about air quality and smells when 3d printing filaments it's a bit ridiculous to insert a sponsored segment saying "a low odor resin that can be safely cleaned with ethanol" like if it required less care/protections
"Printing with pla will release harmful VOC" followed just seconds later by "this video is sponsored by toxic resin xxx, which emits way more VOC during printing"
If you're a beginner: get used to a different software, because Autodesk is the king of enshittification. Your files will be hostage and then you're going to pay the subscription to keep them alive. Don't waste your precious time in mastering Autodesk applications, the more you wait the harder is the switch
You'd think "but without a local proxy that does ssl encryption, cloudflare could read my communication" - no, if they really wanted they could read it anyway as they decrypt and reencrypt
Why the fuck are they using a cloud tts on an Android device??? Can't they use on device tts?? Seems extremely stupid for no reason
It's expensive. They are paying a fee to the third party tts provider each single time someone needs a response. They boast "no subscriptions" - that means those fees are paid only by new customer purchases. Ponzi 2.0
It's fucking expensive. Elevenlabs tts voices costs thousands of dollars per month plus $0.18 per 1000 characters. Ask the history of a monument and the verbose result that the LLM regurgitated costs them $0.15. Are they banking on the fact that most customers would just shelf the device after a day?
It's slower. Each time the device needs to reply, it needs to stream an audio file instead of a few bytes of compressed text
For the more realistic voices it's only cheaper in the short term. I get it - they don't like the robotic free voices and licensing a good closed source one costs money. But then you don't need to pay the "cloud" forever. Did they plan to shut down shortly after the launch? Where the money for running each user in a VM is coming out? (I saw from a YouTube video that it looked like they were using a browser automation tool in a VM)
At this point since everything is run on the cloud (=somebody else's computer) this could not only be a smartphone app, but a smartwatch app.
I wonder if they will just fold and do a rug pull now blaming the hackers or fix the problem.
Fixing the problem seems difficult for them - need to fully rewrite the app and having everything proxied through their authenticated server, increasing their expenses (and a rushed fix isn't secure/tested). But their money comes only from new investors and new customers, and at this point I doubt that they can sell more units or scam more investors.
I had one of those NAS (NSA320). Even when they were new and suppoted they were using some ancient custom version of linux with ancient packages. It would be insane to expose them on the internet.
Owncloud infinite scale is a rewrite of owncloud(=nextcloud) in go, it supports local, nfs and S3 mounts. Change the smb share to nfs and it might fit you
Disadvantages are:
All the plugins need to be rewritten, so if you need some extra feature, it's going to be missing
They got acquired by a company that sells an expensive alternative for corporations (RIP? Who is paying millions to maintain a free alternative/competitor?)
Documentation is inferior, community is much smaller
100% of the ads I see on Twitter today are dropshipping scams, while in the pre-musk era they were highly targeted to my job and interests to the point that if there wasn't the "ad" tag I couldn't distinguish that.
They can't cost the same for the advertiser, a generic dropshipping scam that targets everyone must be cheap
