Strangely enough, there's even some likelihood that killing off the passenger pigeon actually promoted Borrelia burgdorferi. The passenger pigeon's main food source was tree mast. Large flocks of pigeons would descend and clear th

If you're regularly syncing from an older version to a new version, you can likely optimize further using gzip with "--rsyncable" option. It will reduce the compression by ~1% but make it so differences from one version to th

psql also allows you to set local variables and interpolate them into SQL. Values can be assigned from query results or with shell style back ticks! Powerful and frightening! From the manual: => SELECT 'hello' AS var1, 10

Is there a reason you don't wish to batch inserts into transaction(s)? Otherwise, you're asking the database to commit (fsync to disk) between each insert statement. Other ideas: - Have multiple processes inserting in parallel (t

I've been using B2 to disrupt a bunch of ugly & entrenched vendors in the price sensitive K12 market. Thanks for building it. :)

My CIA cookbook begins potato recipes with first blanching them in water prior to roasting, sauté, etc, which is apparently an effective mitigation.

I haven't used it extensively, but I've read some of the source code and I'm excited about where Minio is going -- the erasure coding storage capability in particular: https://www.minio.io/

Done, thank you! We'll probably be playing whack-a-mole on this for the next couple months...

Thank you for the feedback. I'm sensitive to this issue too. For what it's worth, we do have very strict policy about what information regular customer service staff can access or share publicly (i.e. none in most cases) and how

For what it's worth, I think of a journal as append only by definition and that's what SpiderOak does. Unless you have millions of very small files, the journal is going to be tiny relative to the backup content so this is fine.

Thank you. It would be easier to create friendly terms that describe end-to-end encryption if non-encrypted cloud providers weren't actively trying to mislead people into a false sense of security. My previous rant about this is here

Thank you for the feedback and we'll be working on it! FYI, many people do use SpiderOak exclusively from the command line. It's fairly scriptable. Here's the command line options: https://spideroak.com/faq&#

Tahoe-LAFS is really awesome open project by great people with a rich history of solving complex problems. If this space is interesting to you, spending a few days reading through their Trac is educational and rewarding! Highly recommended

Your second paragraph describes SpiderOak quite accurately: it is exactly a logical file system implemented client side, with all the database work to support that done locally. It works because Sqlite is awesome.

Yes, of course there's some traffic analysis that would be possible, as there would be with any such service. But for the record: we keep logs for a limited time, and we don't just encrypt each file individually. Instead there&#x
