Anyone here got any recommendations for paid cloud storage options? Given where we are I’m looking for piracy friendly options.
Proton sounds promising

@[email protected] The privacy friendly (and cheap) option is DIY with Ceph. Managing 100s of petabytes across multiple clusters with it and it’s (mostly) smooth sailing.
What is the running cost for 100PB?
No way to tell as it depends on all kinds of factors, like workload and IO requirements. For example you could spin up a very cheap spinning rust Ceph cluster for archival use cases or you could have a very fast NVMe/PMEM cluster for compute workloads.
I am managing all kinds of installations.
And before somebody ask no, not piracy related lmao.
(Replying with my lemmy account as my other account apparently isn’t federating with programming.dev)
Unrelated but you can’t reply to people from instance that’s not federating? That’s quite unintuitive
I could not even see your reply on the other account so no way to reply either. I only saw it by navigating to this instance.
Convert your files into visuals, something like Barcodes, make a video, upload to YouTube.
That’s kind of a fun idea, but seems like a ton of effort. As long as the data is just encrypted it could be stored anywhere without risk of being deleted and that would be way easier.
Sounds like a gamble. Not a bad extra backup option but if that’s your only place where you store stuff well then good luck
Why?
Videos get deleted? Account banned? Rate limits on uploading?

Have you ever used YouTube? Every minute there is 500 hours worth of content uploaded. You uploading private videos that don’t trigger ContentID are virtually invisible to the company. Why should your video get deleted, why should your account be banned? You can upload 256 gig in a single video. If you use whataboutism you could also say what happens when your Dropbox/AWS/ProtonDrive account gets banned? What happens if your HDD is burning down?
How much, with what budget and for what use? Something as simple as a seedbox could suffice in some cases, otherwise maybe look at Hetzner’s storage options.
Just need to hold about 4TB for a few months until I buy more hard drives. I didn’t think of a seed box though which could be an option.
OneDrive family. It gives you 1 TB per account. You can add up to 5 members and they don’t give a fuck about pirated content. I’ve been using them for the last 2 years without any encryption and I’ve had no problems.
