Fact Check: Tweets from Elon Musk Cause Anheuser-Busch to Lose $1B?
It wouldn't be the first time Musk's Twitter use sent ripples through the stock market.
Just saying that religion in a lot of BS, and creates a lot of conflict.
We are all humans. A beautiful and real story of evolving from little simple things, to big complex things. We are the universe itself, and this is no exaggeration.
I wish people were not so primitive...

I am working to find a cheaper solution for my personal backups that are about 3-4TB. Borgbase is too expensive. I bought a Hetzner Storage Box - 13 Euros a month for 5TB. That's insanely cheap. 3x cheaper than BorgBase. And it supports borg, sftp, webdav and more.
Currently I am trying a new app I found - Kopia - entirely open source and fast as hell. That plus Hetzner via webdav. So far so great. I will make an article after I decide how to move forward with the backups. Could be an interesting article in terms of how I manage to backup some 2-3TB of server files and some 3-4TB of personal files. Millions in total. Daily. Automated and encrypted.

I have also looked at Hetnzer's storage pods. DO KEEP IN MIND: they don't have redundancy
(by that I mean: yes, they do use RAID but it's all on one server.
If you compare that with Backblaze B2 for example: there it's more distributed across the entire data center)
While an OVHfire type situation would likely destroy an entire datacenter, with Backblaze it's possible that the only the affected area lost some data but not all of it.
also: don't underestimate social connections: if you have friends who do self hosting things or have a NAS: ask if you could use some.
"Can I store x TB on your server if you get to store x TB on my server?"
Doesn't get much cheaper than that
There should be 3 copies of data
On 2 different media
With 1 copy being off-site

Thank you Ioana for becoming the 38th TROM Supporter! :) - We need to find 200 people to donate 5 Euros a month for TROM to support us forever - see tromsite.com/donate/
Currently we are working on managing our backups a bit better because it has become quite expensive to backup TB of data. We work on a new release of TROMjaro too, and more such technical stuff.
However soon we will shift gears and do more TROMcasts and hopefully either start creating new books that are already in the making, or transform them into a long-term video series. If we reach the 200 for TROM goal, then it will be all of that, and more, plus no more stress. To be able to continue to fight, while not getting rich off of it.
In the long term, like we said before, we'd like to create a decentralized sharing platform where people can share from gadgets to food and everything in between.
TROM is active, and more so when we get new supporters! :) Thank you!
