With a little setup (no more than described here), rclone just... does this out of the box.

Specifically I have an S3 remote configured to use the Deep Archive tier. On top of that I have an encryption remote (pointing to the S3 remote). Then I just rclone my pool to this remote, and all my crap is shipped off to Ireland.

Like in the link, I expect never to need it; restore is so expensive that it's a "house burns down" insurance only.
I’m curious, has anyone really experienced any data loss on public storage service like s3? I’m not sure if the count of 9s actually matter …
At Old Coal Mines, the American Chestnut Tries for a Comeback
My lifestyle is afforded to me because I trade my labor for money at a for profit company (BigTech). I am not clutching my pearls bemoaning the evils of capitalism while feeding from the very same troughs.
Can you share alternatives you found, if any?
I'm certain this is real.

Survivorship bias exists, but so does gut instinct.

Our brains do far more work behind the scenes than we generally give them credit for. Think of the (admittedly rare) people who get a bump on the head, and can suddenly do savant math, or play piano like a master - that potential was always there. Think of the many examples from the history of science, where the answer came in a dream, or even a daydream.

Waking up in time for a known appointment is not that remarkable, when considered with the fact we have a very sophisticated set of internal clocks, and that dreams often concern future events that we are anticipating or anxious about.

I have countless similar examples from my own life, which could easily be dismissed as anecdata. They're more than good enough for me - I'd be a fool to ignore them.

Truly, I believe that most people just don't pay attention to the hints their mind gives them. Many are tired, distracted, and untrained; overworked and stressed to the gills. If you are one of those people, I can see why you would think that gut instinct is a myth. But it surely isn't, I guarantee it.

The next time you get a line from a song stuck in your head, ask yourself if there's any relevance to your life situation - more often than not, your brain is trying to tell you something.
When I first watched that movie I never thought it would be so on the point, just 15 years too early..
I think this is a meme, the idea that someone is always going to decide to pay X million in fines instead of paying for security.

The problem, surely, is that there is no "right answer" to what you need for security, no 100%, things that were worth it last year are no longer effective and on top of all of that, you have human beings working for you who make mistakes?

There is also the very real issue, hardly talked about, about rolling security into legacy applications/infrastructure. People talk like someone can just click their fingers and get 2FA/Webauthn/FIDO/Yubikey when most applications probably haven't been updated since 5 years ago and cost $1M per release in risk. Not saying it's good but that's how it is.
I understand where you're coming from and the supposed benefits of a higher dynamic range.

In my experience as a mix engineer working with music, recordings, when made proper, rarely use the full available dynamic range of 24 bits. Often I get tracks recorded too low due to incorrect gain staging. But maybe even more common is just a noisy recording. Poor mains wiring, the length of a recording chain, self-noise of various gear used all contribute to what usually amounts to noise levels much higher than -144dB. And, to be honest, in my line of work it rarely matters until it crosses the 16bit noise floor of -96dB.

What I suppose I mean by all of this and my previous posts is if you're not careful enough to fit into the higher portion of the available dynamic range of 144dB you're just adding more noise regardless of the format used, as in most cases the level of cumulative noise is higher than -144dB. YMMV, of course.

This often disregards the cost of retrieving said data, which is at $90/TB for outboud network traffic on top of the costs of making the backups available.

Make a fake profile on Tinder and the results speak for themselves. Women flock to a specific phenotype of homo sapien with a very high probability (top 5% of men). I think of this phenotype as a race of its own, since its members share many common characteristics, and interestingly the one many focus on first, skin color, isn't one of the distinguishing factors.

Do you? Really?

"Your lack of planning is not my emergency"

Unless you're the founder+owner, I'd expect that tech support at your company wouldn't expedite your access request just because you feel entitled to it.

Will a million dollar sales call fail and/or have to be rescheduled because you didn't have 2FA access? You should accept the responsibility, apologise with whoever it is that you let down and move on.

Of course, companies should give us all the tools we need to succeed. Not cheap out on their budget and then shift the blame on us. This means also giving you multiple devices and tokens, to ensure that you have redundancy (if a device fails you have a backup, if you lose a token you have a backup).

Even then, it can happen that right after a trip you might've realized that you left home and/or misplaced your security token. The professional thing to do is to communicate it to the company right away (so they can arrange to verify your identity and/or to ship something to you) once you discover it when you land. Not ignore the problem until you'd be back at work and in urgent need to attend some work meeting.

Travelling across the world, 6 time zones away is not something that you can do with every job. If your company allows it, that's a perk, but you should also treat it with the due care that requires.

Missing a day of work is small stuff compared to the risk that the whole company runs by allowing their employees auth to be phished. If you have to skip a day (or more!) of work on extremely short notice, it might be an unpleasant conversation with your manager, but it's a conversation that you should have nonetheless. (btw, do you have the phone number of your manager on your personal phone? if you lose your work devices, it's important to still have a way to reach out to them).

Security tokens are cheap, just make sure that you have N+1 (one for each device you need, plus one)
outbound traffic costs don't change at all regardless of when you need your data, it will always be atleast $90/TB
What I would really like to have with AWS is some kind of prepaid scheme, first to avoid surprise costs at early stage, second to fill up enough to keep resources running in case I get into coma or my digital identity gets disrupted by some glitch. I accept that if I won't topup on time then resources are gone.
Apple did something similar: you can login using your phone’s WebAuthn credentials if you’re in BLE range. The main problem is that it’s Safari-only but the passkey spec should allow Firefox to implement it.
That might be possible. We were both in our 30's
It's entirely possible that he had nothing else to do but read that month. If there was no album currently in production and no tour going on -- both of those things seem plausible for that month -- then it was all available time.

The Great Gatsby is short. Candide is shorter. The Picture of Dorian Gray is fairly short. Each of them might have been read in a day or less. War and Peace is famously long, but at a normal reading pace of 200 words per minute it will only take 40-45 hours -- say, 10 days.
Audiobooks, borrowed for free from my library and listened to via the excellent Libby app, have been a life-line over the past four years.

I went from 3-4 books a year to 3-4 books a week, sometimes more. I listen in the bathroom, while exercising, cooking, cleaning, cycling, gardening.

My listening speed is typically 1.75x for dense prose and hard science, all the way up to 2.5x for fiction and biographies. The secret is to score a great pair of earbuds; I recommend Jabra Elite 75t. The further the sound is from your ear, the harder it is to parse speech at high speed.

You don't start at 2.5x, obviously; start at 1.25x and increase every day or two until you start to zone out. You'll be pleasantly shocked at how quickly you'll ramp up. 1x sounds like the performer overdosed on benzos.

In the past year, I've listened to everything Haruki Murakami has written, the entire Wheel of Time series (4.4M words vs 19D5H), and several hundred others.

For free.

And yes, I still read paper books, too. Sometimes.
One goal of protein design is to create bespoke enzymes that catalyze reactions of interest, such as the degradation of target compounds. Keep in mind that the vast majority of de novo designed proteins to date lack a defined function and have been used to showcase structure rather than functionality.

I don’t think it’s fair to say they are set up to do that. They weren’t conceived with that purpose. It’s just a fact of life that once we’ve invested a huge amount of effort in one set of conventions it’s very costly to change those conventions.
Ironic ? per the article : "the film’s title, which refers to the eye color of a child who perished at the hands of the Nazis and invokes a key scene in the movie"
Aside from the general concept issues that others are addressing (e.g. "what does 99.999999999% durability mean exactly").

There's also code smell.

I had a quick glance through and couldn't help noticing the stench of assumptions and poor (or non-existent) exception handling.
The price is not steep at all. This is a last resort solution, when all your other backups have failed and you need to retrieve your data. The idea is that you never need to restore it.
Why not mention this straight in your post:

"Restore and download is quite costly:

Restore from S3 tape to S3 blob:
$0.0025/GiB ($2.56/TiB) for Bulk within 48 hours
$0.02/GiB ($20.48/TiB) for Standard within 12 hours
Download: The first 100 GiB/month are free, then 10 TiB/Month for $0.09 per GiB ($92.16/TiB) and discounts for more."

TLDR if I read it correctly 2.56+92.16 USD to get your 1TB back home

Not that bad, but I feel like buying every half year 1TB drive for ~50USD and just storing it wherever outside your home would be cheaper option. But it depends how often you need to perform backup.
As mentioned, AWS has simplified the pricing model, so getting it all at once isn't hugely expensive anymore.
The Imposter (2012). It almost feels like a spoiler to tell you it's a documentary, the story is so incredibly gripping and the performances so great you get sucked in completely and forget that the lead isn't actually the hero.
It is so much easier for me to eat dinner only than to eat breakfast only.

I notice I control my calorie intake much better with only black coffee in the mornings and eating in a 6 hour window later in the day. I have become sensitive to caffeine in the past year and mostly stick to decaf and it really made me realize how much I was relying on caffeine as an appetite suppressant.
And Hindus should demand reparations from Muslims for the 800 years of colonization before the British. That’ll go over great.
Your backup plan currently can be hardware devices (a $20 Yubikey works great) or printed codes. When vendors other than Apple ship passkeys, that should extend to include other devices.
How dark does that library look in the photo? You’d need (cough) bright eyes to read in there![1] :D

On a less Dad joke line, a good number of those books are out of copyright. So it would be fun to link them to free versions if/when they become public domain.

To be honest, since he's giving the money to a non-profit that he owns, we have no idea what the money will be used for.

We take his word that it will be used for Climate Change.

If he takes $1MM to donate to Harvard to secure a seat for each his children/grandchildren, then that's legal. If he uses it to host parties for the wealthy to "raise awareness", then that's legal. If he uses it to setup hotels, flights, IT servers, consultants, etc, then that's all legal. If he runs for office and uses the money for his campaign, that's all legal.

Moreover, if he gets into office he can now accept donations to his foundation in order to influence policy/laws without much question.

...and for a myriad of other quasi-personal uses, it's basically untraceable as non-profits have low financial reporting requirements.

I am very skeptical of these personally owned family "Foundations".
I doubt it, they just hid the dirty little secret that everyone putting up the stake will now mine it on another chain
Again, there is no substance behind your claim. There is no difference in a digital Magic card and a physical one in terms of motivations to pay for one.

That you're anti-decentralization is just speculation on my part, as I can't think of any other plausible motivation for you inexplicably singling out NFTs as worthy of derision, and not centralized digital collectibles or physical collectibles.
Yes, King Charles III will pay the same taxes as Queen Elizabeth II did - he agreed to it during the Accession Council meeting. Only the Monarch and income from the Duchy of Cornwall (paid to the Prince of Wales) are exempt from income, capital gains, and inheritance tax.

Every other member of the Royal Family are liable to tax, the same as us. They can offset the cost of their official duties against their taxes though.

They also ripped the user-facing Web browser out of the PS5 because "zomg Webkit exploits", despite leaving in web browser features like the online user guides, social media linking, etc, that could all still be used to the same conclusion.

(I'm frustrated over this because as an ISP employee that has to answer to 'slow device speed' complaints, we try to speedtest from the device, and the built-in PSN speed test is woefully low compared to a browser-based test proving our network isn't to blame.)
> in any given year there is perhaps a 1% chance that they shut down AWS with no chance to retrieve data

That would translate to 64% chance in 100 years. Seems plausible :)
No – the problem here is really the reverse: they limit the number of devices which can gate access to your account, on the theory that you'll handle a breach by contacting them. That's theoretically more secure but slower.

(Non-root MFA can be reset by another admin or root so this is most of a concern for the root account)
Okay this is going to border on the mystical but it’s the way I view things…raised in a modest Protestant faith in Texas, mostly fellowship and volunteer work, not a whole lot of guilt tripping.

Eventually I moved into meditation and more pantheism relationship with the world - or universe. All things are energy, energy is infinite, open my antennae for the universe to send signals and let me body interpret. As you said, the gut feeling.

In the past year it has been uncanny how often I think about something serious, kind of stare off into nowhere, and have a good path or at least next step I can believe in. I can honestly say it has been calming when for years I’ve had a lot of anxiety about doing the best thing or whatever. Eh that’s a myth, life is situational but we can have a foundation.

Full disclosure: I’ve had serious deja vu since a teenager several decades ago. It’s not frequent, but it’s significant. Not just a feeling or a chill mind you, I see and hear up to about 15 seconds and that includes dialog. Like I know the words about to be spoken. It was extremely eerie until a lady friend in university told me “oh that’s just the universe letting you know you’re on the right path” and it felt so good I’ve believed it ever since.

Hence the duo of deja vu and gut feeling basically being my version of religion, because I can’t really prove them, they take faith, and I make no guarantees outside of this sample size of one!
This explains it pretty well:

> Data durability: the ability to keep the stored data consistent, intact without the influence of bit rot, drive failures, or any form of corruption. 99.999999999% (11 nines) durability means that if you store 10 million objects, then you expect to lose an object of your data every 10,000 years.

Frankly it's disappointing that most of the comments on HN so far have been focused on the "marketing" and the website. The FAQ states that this project is still in very early stages and not yet intended for use as a daily driver. So if you actually read the website, it's clear why it's not consumer grade. I would much rather they focus on developing than marketing at this stage.

The basic thing going on here is simply that the KDE guys are working on a 10' experience and that's great, there is no good 10' experience today on Linux. Unless you count Steam Big Picture mode I guess? But a desktop environment which knows what to do about 10' would be really exciting.

Whenever the topic of AI comes up, I always ask if it wouldn't be cheaper to set up shop in my country and pay people to do it in real time and call it AI.
Even better, get a tiny computer and use cable ties to secure it to the TV mount (or velcro to the back of the TV). No wires will be seen.
Worse: un-salted hashes.
Any bio-processes that you can think of. For example, spiders fabricate ultra-strong fibers using a few cubic millimeters. Compare that volume to the smallest Kevlar factory we can set up.

A lot of applications will be about designing or adapting biological processes; so they wouldn't be enabled by just protein design but would need way more "tooling". It's worth noting that the computational viability of much of that tooling is boosted by AI as well. That I think is the main value and the "new thing": we got a new, powerful class of "hacks" that we can use to shortcut and scale in-silico bio-research.

No, I'm saying we need to come down to planet earth and recognise we live in the real world. Hence SMS or TOTP is preferable to nothing at all.

Its a bit like the hardcore open-source types who can't see the wood from the trees and cannot fathom why anyone would possibly want to use anything else other than Linux and fully open-source alternatives to Microsoft Office or Photoshop. Sometimes you have to compromise.
Or if you're willing to dribble the data back home at a rate of 100GiB/month then it's $2.56/TiB.
Housing stock is a huge thing. As an expat, working remote, and (legally) living here, the locals can't believe how much I spend on rent, which is still cheaper than I was paying in the states, but far more than any native could/would pay.

The country is likely missing out on (pretty substantial) income taxes, so through legalization they are trying to get some of that. I'm sure the countries enjoy the injection of cash into their economy, but they would rather get that from tourists vs. people working, who tend to use more public resources than tourists.
