“Unlimited” is always a marketing gimmick, and they’ll always contact you like “hey I noticed you’re actually trying to use the thing you paid for you need to stop or we’ll terminate you”. Along the same lines: “Lifetime license” means 5 years, and “All-You-Can-Eat Pancakes means Four Pancakes.

I tried the all you can eat pasta at Olive garden once.

The first bowl happened.

The second bowl was in like one of those little soup cups.

They refused to come anywhere near our table after that except to slam the check down.

Fuck everything about Olive garden

This is probably a result of that dumb crypto currency that uses proof of storage and people were just using Dropbox for it

But I wonder: doesn’t it need to be accessible to be read locally? If I mine like 1 petabytes of stuff, then I can upload somewhere else and forget about it?

Otherwise they could mine on a disk, then wipe, start again.

IMHO they found a scapegoat, everyone (me included) loves to blame crypto bros for anything bad, but I don’t see how here can happen

Emulate a block device and reference it to the cloud api, unless im missing something.

Yes but it should be needed to read it constantly, otherwise it would download petabytes of stuff

And that mined file would be accessed slowly

Who are we?

We are digital librarians. Among us are represented the various reasons to keep data – legal requirements, competitive requirements, uncertainty of permanence of cloud services, distaste for transmitting your data externally (e.g. government or corporate espionage), cultural and familial archivists, internet collapse preppers, and people who do it themselves so they’re sure it’s done right. Everyone has their reasons for curating the data they have decided to keep (either forever or For A Damn Long Time). Along the way we have sought out like-minded individuals to exchange strategies, war stories, and cautionary tales of failures.

We are one. We are legion. And we’re trying really hard not to forget.
