I use Backblaze B2, but stored in an encrypted Restic container, set up using this guide:

https://helgeklein.com/blog/restic-encrypted-offsite-backup-with-ransomware-protection-for-your-homeserver/

Restic has been great for automating backups, and even letting me mount the encrypted storage to grab individual files. I like doing it this way since I don’t have to trust Backblaze isn’t reading my data - I know for sure that they can’t.

Performance of storage that is both remote and encrypted is about what you would expect, but I don’t need access to the data unless something bad happens.

Had to quadruple take this wasn’t a Battle Network community, what a crazy thing to see on Lemmy.

We should bring back r/OkBuddyNetwork on Lemmy.

Damn, I guess you’re right. It’s a shame I don’t have the money to move.

I’ll have to abandon my elderly family, put my pets up for adoption, and stow away on a local fishing boat for a few months. I guess it’s the only way.

…but seriously, this is my point. Yes, this is all bad, but what do you want me to do? Being able to just jump ship is a privilege I do not have. If the building is burning, then I’m not getting out in time.

OF requires strict government issued ID verification in some jurisdictions. Patreon does not, at least in the US.

That should be your deciding factor already. No one should have their privacy invaded just to send you a few bucks a month.

People need to understand what this will mean from a developer perspective before getting all up in arms. This initiative is more kneejerk emotional than it is realistic.

If you’re going to watch only one of these videos, watch the second one:

They have to restrict themselves to pickpocketing roaming NPC fascists.

What? Fascists? RuneScape doesn’t have…

Oh. HAM, I almost forgot about those guys.

They just sent out a mass email to users yesterday informing us of this, I got it too. I wonder if it wasn’t getting enough attention, or if they wrote this back in June but only just made the article visible.

You guys make this sound like some kind of doomsday movie.

I’m not downplaying how bad things are, but if you really have the several thousand dollars you’d need to actually uproot your entire life just sitting around, good for you. Most people don’t have that kind of free money.

And good luck moving if you have pets, or have family members you care for. Have you guys even been to your “target” countries? Do you have plans for how you’ll make income? How does healthcare work in your target country?

If you have all that figured out, and have nothing to leave behind, then good for you, I really do hope you end up better off. But this panicked response of “What are you waiting for, run!!!” is way more entitled than people seem to think.

Everyone sees this notice, I saw it on the official desktop Firefox client. They’re just trying to reach as many people as possible.

They’ve been on some kind of emulation crusade then, because it looks like they just killed Ryujinx:
