Backblaze linux webda9/8/2023 ![]() ![]() There are farrrrrrr fewer windows hoarders. ![]() You're just an OS-ist hater who believes in stereotypes and supports discrimination against minorities who fight for equality. I could EXPAND my storage by 8TB every month for less than $200/mo. (Keep in mind my stored data is NOT rapidly growing.)Ī company buying in bulk and running newer systems with a higher storage density would certainly spend even less than that. I'm more than happy to not spend my money on companies that don't meet my needs.Īll things considered it costs me WAY less $5/mo to do it myself. Sure I'd like unlimited backup, but I'm happy to keep doing what I have been until such time that it exists. ISP data restrictions only make the problem worse. I don't do online backup (& never have) because it's more affordable to run my own backup system. Point is: Windows hoarders are welcome to (ab)use the service, but responsible Linux users are shunned. People like you literally killed off nice services like ACD and crashplan personal because you abused the shit out of them. Stop being so fucking entitled thinking a company owes you unrealistically cheap storage.Įdit: I apologize for the harsh language but I'm sick of seeing such entitlement out of some people. I'm sure there are windows based hoarders who are costing them money, but it wouldn't be the deluge they'd get if they opened up linux. It turns out most people who hoard are using linux based systems, so it's an easy discriminator to keep people who abuse the service off it. So tell me how spending $200 a month on your storage is profitable when only charging $5? How can you not see that storing 40 terabytes for $5 a month isn't realistic? True cost of storage is about $5 per terabyte. The $5 unlimited plan disappeaes and the home line would blend with b2, and it becomes am ala carte like b2. Cost would be around $5 per terabyte stored. They raise prices/go to a tiered data plan. If they all of a sudden started allowing linux clients to dump like they do in b2 then you would see one of two things happen. The $5 a month "unlimited" works because utilization is low. So build a windows machine, do it and shut the fuck up, you entitled brat. ![]()
