(Quote) An important difference is that Kofer (LOL) plans don't add/stack up. pCloud and Filen plans do AFAIK.
-
(Quote) The plus side is that they do provide the stats publicly so you can see the outage frequency (still early to 100% confirm that though).
-
Filen.io had their entire network down for a while on Sunday (4 days ago). It took over 30 minutes for that to be shown on their status page, a few hours to get it fixed, and still no report of how and what happened: https://status.filen.io/inciden…

(Quote) Lifetime deals can be OK with some limits and consideration. My longer writeup on that topic: https://io.bikegremlin.com/25228/lifetime-offers-worth-buying/ (section 1 defines it, section 2 is where I discuss the realistic expectations) I'…

(Quote) I agree - the regular prices, just like pCloud for that matter, are too high. Black Friday discount prices at 50+ % off do make more sense.
-
(Quote) It's what it's for!
-
(Quote) Done.
-
(Quote) If your SSD is of a high quality, it will sustain higher speeds for longer (and have the SATA lane be the limiting factor). Also, the newer SSDs that use PCIe can sustain much higher speeds for a long time - especially if you provide good co…
-
(Quote) Yeah, there is a limit of SATA connection for those 2.5" SSDs, so sustained transfer of large amounts of data is limited. For general use (lots of random reads, mostly), they are still a lot faster than HDDs.
-
(Quote) Something similarly idiotic most probably took place. Sigh... Humans... (Quote) Good quality hard disks should not be underestimated. Having said that, good quality SSDs are still better and faster. Samsung has served me well over the past…
-
(Quote) Not even once. :) But the first and the last name are typical Serbian.
-
(Quote) Thanks. To compare: Mega.nz sync seems to be imperfect but less buggy. pCloud has a better IOS client (better than Mega it seems). I see it as a second remote cold storage option. Nothing more, but nothing less. Also, I plan to split th…

An option to not send alerts if downtime is under X minutes is what I love about HetrixTools. Lets me configure it to ignore any Cloudflare-related short outages (and check them when I'm at the computer, not get email notifications about them). Kee…
-
(Quote) OK. I can confirm that the site behind Cloudlare does show more frequent short downtimes (and that's probably got nothing to do with the monitoring software).
-
(Quote) This can happen with Cloudflare (if the monitored site is behind Cloudflare) even with the tried & tested HetrixTools. I suppose it is Cloudflare's "fault" (unless you are montiroing a site that doesn't use that). Edit: Putt…

(Quote) Pretty women. :)
-
Cool. P.S. Make it "complain" when you try adding a monitor without all the needed data filled/ticked. :) idiotfriendly :) P.P.S. I think DKIM is not good - and that's probably why the notification emails end up in the spam box.
-
(Quote) Upon inspection (and some "Sherlock on a shoestring" action), it turns out my drive was physically damaged by improper handling - not a model or a manufacturer's fault. I think this is fair to discluse (not that my few drive failur…
-
JetBackup is a hit-and miss and no longer super-reliable. DirectAdmin configured backups have worked quite well for me. Not sure about Plesk's backup reliability. For cPanel - this works OK for offsite backups to Hetzner: https://io.bikegremlin.…
-
@Amadex - you got root access? And full privileges for JetBackup? I'm asking because my experience with JetBackup is as a reseller hosting user - so quite limited options there. My writeup on the topic (if it's of any help whatsoever): https://io…
-
(Quote) That is a note taking app - nothing more. Obsidian offers (automates) full bidirectional linking, graph view, and a powerful search. (Image)
-
(Quote) That's a double edged sword: provided info could be used to avoid bans. Still, for now (and the foreseeable future), I think that providing reasons does more good (in terms of preventing any misunderstanding or abuse) than harm. If that ch…
-
(Quote) Your offer sounds very good. The prices are clearly intended to help the stuck people out, not to make some huge profits. At the same time, as @vyas pointed out, they seem sustainable (unlike MyW marketing strategy that relied solely on und…
-
My first go at implementing the new system (a work in progress that might provide some good ideas if nothing else): BikeGremlin Deathnotes – My Zettelkasten System Yes, a pretentious sounding name. LOL. :)
-
I block + and alias emails whenever possible (often used by spammers LOL). Then again - I don't send spam (or "newsletters") or sell user data.
-
(Quote) That is Windows-only? Are the backups it makes platform-agnostic, or must you use the MailStore application to read or restore them?
-
(Quote) AFAIK German language university students in Serbia used to learn this method (not sure about now) while it was not taught in natural science departments (again, not sure about current curriculums). I find that to be a bit ironic. :)
-
(Quote) It may be useful for (cold) storage. Mega works OK for on-the-fly sync (small files I edit regularly).
-
(Quote) Works OK for normal sized files (faster than iCloud or Mega.nz). However, for syncing one huge file (.zip or a huge video and similar) it is a bit slower than iCloud and faster than Mega.nz, while for syncing many very small files changed (O…

Windows sync client is very frustrating - to the point of being useless. Linux is noticeably better if not completely fault-proof. Guess I'll need to find a different way to sync my Obsidian notes. Looks like another monthly subscription the way i…
-
(Quote) That sounds very promising. I suggest sharing it on the forum (so anyone interested can see). I did try the crypto and it is OK for what it is - crypted saving. It does sync if you configure computer/phone apps to sync, but not practical f…
-
(Quote) pCloud computer client (Windows, Linux, and IOS) is very fast to sync, pretty "light weight" - compared to alternatives, including the Mega.nz which I use in parallel (tried and tested for years now - pCloud is yet to earn the tr…
