(Quote) Works. Cool. :) Choosing an existing box from the robot console, and clicking on "Change storage box" gets the "upgrade" done in a second after you've picked the option you want. :)
-
(Quote) A refreshing change in the light of all the prices going drastically up over the past few years (industry-wide). :) Existing storage boxes are remaining the same, or should I just give it some time? (have a 500 MB box and it still says 500…

(Quote) Yup - that app looks like it.

There used to be a Windows "app" that synced Gdrive to a local directory. I used to use it. It used to work. Haven't tried for years, so can't confirm. Not sure if it's still available.

(Quote) Had to spoil it, didn't you? :)

CDN should use the closest available server, right? So, visitors from the EU would get the content served from an EU location anyway, no? :)

(Quote) JetBackup doesn't seem to play very well with DirectAdmin (couldn't get it to work for off-site storage with a reseller hosting account). So I use (S)FTP, and find it to be quite convenient (prefer it to any web-browser interface)…

As expected... German Court Rules Websites Embedding Google Fonts Violates GDPR (thehackernews .com link)

(Quote) Colour me stupid/conservative (and correct me if I'm wrong), but I prefer having someone more competent taking care of the security and similar, while I can just use the storage. Unmanaged VPS or a dedi can be cheaper in terms of money…

(Quote) Hi Katie, Thanks for looking into this. As far as I'm concerned Hetzner Box storage is very good. Upload speed from servers (when doing backups) seems super fast, and that's what's most important IMO. Just wanted to confirm…
-
(Quote) Do you have a better recommendation? For automated storage of DirectAdmin hosting accounts, JetBackup doesn't seem to work well with Backblaze B2 for example, so I switched to Storage Box and that works fine - and it is a lot faster fo…

(Quote) Rebranded - I fixed the link, but didn't edit every mention in the article. As for the exposure - I use HTTPS and SSH for most work, uploads, downloads etc. I also use a silly domain (some-string.some-tld), with a silly subdomain (str…

I don't develop new sites on a regular basis - so keep that in mind. I usually do it on a hosting server. It makes it easier for me to work on the site wherever I am, it makes it easier to collaborate, and I can see how it works on a hosting s…

(Quote) From what I could tell, without exact measuring, server backups get uploaded very, very fastly. :) That's what I use 99.99 % of the time. Weekly, I download the backups from Hetzner to my local HDD storage - but that can be done overn…

(Quote) For all I could tell, SSH gives similar results. Haven't tried any other methods for moving the files to and from my home PC. It's not a problem, not draggingly slow, gets the job done, just wanted to check if there is something I…

(Quote) Going up against "the dragon must be asleep" in the finals of the Famous Last Words competition... :)

(Quote) Man, check out: https://www.bike-components.de/ I'm considering making an alternative option, with a naked chick with big boobies jumping out at you! Say no to that! :) It is annoying and pointless, at least we could make it fun. :…

(Quote) Here are some of my reasons (probably doesn't fit every person, nor every use case): * Comments capability comes out of the box. No need to pay for any third party service to allow article comments & replies. For my use, it's …

I know replies like this don't contribute much - but the first reply by @johnk covers all the high points, and I agree with what he's written. For my use case (websites that get edited and updated regularly) - WordPress is a better option…

I'm still running some stuff on PHP 5.4. Using the CloudLinux "sanitized/whatever" PHP (making the obsolete versions less "unsafe"). For my own sites, I switched to 8.0 a few months ago. Was planning to wait for the 8.1 (.1…

From what I could gather: It's too risky if you are working with clients. You need to find a good lawyer, and a good dev/admin whatever - and list all the services used, then write proper policies (in a legally acceptable form) for all of them…

(Quote) Couldn't find THEIR privacy policy about the data given to them. :) It's nonsense - but I expect it all to go even crazier, more complicated, more expensive and more difficult to avoid even if you are not in the EU.

Thanks for the info @Ympker - I'll pass it for now though. :( Rant: Decided to not spend any more time nor any money on that lawyer/bureaucrat induced nonsense until I'm forced to. Running with free solutions - Google's own (unlimi…

(Quote) Thanks for the heads up - will look into it. Though - I check backups regularly and still prefer doing them server-side.
