FYI, maybe off-topic, but Backblaze had another 6-hour throttling situation overnight for b2 customers again resulting is several thousand dead for me. I triggered a retry and all but 78 went through this morning.
@paul I did notice it yesterday. Even your instance with 4 active users was affected. I guess the time will come for the other instance where I'm sysadm will have to move almost 1 TB of media to another provider.
But as you've said, we get what we pay for. Budget storage, with budget hard disks and budget networking.
@paul this last week was the worst time to their services since I started using them a couple of years ago.
But today I received a green light to move away the media from the other instance I'm sysadm.
It's currently in progress, on its way to Cloudflare R2. It costs US$ 0,015/GB but there are no egress fees and I expect a better service and infra than OVH, for example.
What process are you using to transfer? Rclone? I think I will use Flexify.io again. It won't cost too much.
I need to setup my system with files.oldfriends.live instead of using the bucket as the URL. I saw some that allowed it to first be local then get moved to buckets, to prevent cdn failures.
This is getting out of my comfort zone. 🤭
If you have a good Mastodon object storage guide, send me a link.
I have rclone trauma.😂 A decade ago, I misconfigured rclone doing a backup of my personal computer and lost everything in both directions. Luckily, I caught it early.
For my personal files, I have backups of my backups, so it was an easy fix. I've been afraid of rclone since.🤭
I've been reading the rclone guides over the past week but decided, $5.00 to transfer my instance with Flexify was worth it. I still have a credit from the first transfer.
