Is Backblaze a reliable provider? by Kcg in c/[email protected]

I use them as my backup backup provider. Crazy cheap, my bill was like $1.50 for a month. Their backup command line tool is pretty solid also. I would definitely use them if you need a new backup provider.

What is your current setup for .md docs?

I am using VS code with the grammarly extension for editing, then have a mkdocs static site generator from the docs and then to create a PDF version, I am using pandoc.

I made a little markdown users community if anyone wants to talk markdown. Not much there at the moment!

I've had great fun working with converting md files to PDF with pandoc. Only annoying element is that it needs a pdflatex engine to be installed also.

Quite a nice clean markdown editing tool with split views like OverLeaf.

Couldn't agree more. Tried OnlyOffice? Lovely suite . Markdown is amazing, I am writing a web book & PDF version with the same source. Did LaTeX, but it was just so cumbersome.

This type of shit is why i jumped to linux mint recently. Who the hell removed the right click menu options. I'm sure it will be back as a feature.

Cloud backup issues (lemmy.ml)

Hey everyone

I was curious has anyone ever had any issues with a cloud service say Google drive and data disappearing? Or any other provider such as the Aws s3.

I know there must be redundancy going on in data centers, but I always wondered about the what if scenario.

Be interesting to hear if anyone has any stories.

Anyone have thoughts about backblaze?

I pushed some data to it. Pretty happy with their default tool for uploading from a linux box.

Only issue is I picked the wrong region and no way to flip it without a new account which is a bit annoying.

0.005 cents is pretty decent for a GB/month.

The fees are crazy too. Considering how many fail out of a course and have to deal with this large debt.
