  • I am mostly referring to the first 2 sentences since the other text does not comment on anything that he actually said or did.

    Just because someone is naive enough to think that a smart device does not spy on you or downplays what they know does not mean they do not care about privacy.

    In order to say that the relative does not care about privacy, the relative would have to know the exact extent on what they collect and what they can do with it. You cannot assume that a normal person or even “tech savvy person” understands what is possible.

    It is possible that what you said is applicable for your relative but in general this does not apply.
















  • I use B2 for my restic Backup. Currently i have about 100GB stored there and it says i have about 100,000 files stored.

    With the adjusted calculation of the blog you posted for 10TB of 50KB files, adjusted to the mean file size of my restic repository 10 TB of 1MB files:

    Transaction fees: 10,000,000 / 10,000 x $0.004 = $4

    My Laptop has a mean file size of about 16 MB per file on the local restic repository.

    EDIT: Forgot a resume, i do not think you need to worry about it too much. But maybe verify the amount and type of data you want to backup and use calculators to calculate the real cost, also you can always test it by creating a test dataset and then do a backup and recovery scenario and then use this to derive an estimate.


  • I think you heavily are misinterpreting the " The Distro does not matter" argument.

    Usually ppl want a distro that “does x” and the answer will be “the distro does not matter, use the one that suits you the mkst”.

    The argument “The disteo does not matter” does not come from the user preferences site of things but feom the technical " i want to video edit, “i want to game” etc.
