  • Recording some thoughts in case I decide to code something. I don't know of anything like this but the following approach seems obvious: * All objects (files or whatever) on remote side are opaque (appear to be random) and of fixed size (like 50MB…
  • So far I just use tar and gpg. I tried duplicity a while back and found it slow and cumbersome, and borg looks to be even worse. I had heard of rclone but not really looked into it. I just spent a few minutes looking at its docs. It is nice in s…
  • @Hetzner_OL I haven't yet figured out a good way to set up a storage box for encrypted backup, other than just saving encrypted tar files to it by sshfs or sftp, in a manual and ad-hoc way. That will be good enough for my immediate cold backups but…
  • This is great about the storage box (and nextcloud) refresh. This is the best combination so far of affordable storage and tons of cpu in the same place. I've been using an auction dedi primarily as a storage server for years, because I occasional…
  • (Quote) Storagebox works nicely for my purposes, it's just on the expensive side, especially in the smaller sizes. If you want a lot of space, consider an SX series dedi. If you want less space and it's for cold backups and you don't mind it being…
  • (Quote) The EX is reasonably ok, I just wish it had ECC. The AX would need to have 2x1TB drives to be equal to my auction server in HDD space, but if I were to add drives I'd probably add something like 2x10TB. My first thought was 1x10TB with bac…
  • When I used storagebox a while back, I was able to get around 50MB/s to my Hetzner dedi. I remember worrying that Chia farming on Storagebox might slow Storagebox down. I think Chia is now pretty dead, so idk what effect if any there has been on S…
  • I got an email saying people who experienced price increases with auction servers can now upgrade to an AX or EX series server with no setup fee. I'd be tempted but unfortunately the entry level AX line has 2x2TB disks while my auction server has 2…
  • I wonder if they will have to jump the price up like Hetzner.
  • The plan is still orderable on Servarica's web site. I don't know if that means it is really in stock. I have been considering it for a while, depending.
