@backblaze the accessibility of your app is a bit broken in windows 11. Using NVDA, a free and open source screen reader. I know your app somewhat works in Windows 10. Any plans to fix this soon?

@shapednoise @backblaze I'm not sure how @backblaze would help with this. Do they have some way to backup from iCloud directly to their servers? The issue is that the originals may not exist on my computer, but only in iCloud.

My father in law is a photographer and has countless hard drives. His life's work.
I found this @backblaze article very relatable, and also technically interesting. Love reading solutions to problems that arent some k8s issue etc for a change

@duluca @backblaze The problem with backups for me is that I dont ever know how far to go back. Often the issue is truly unknown, so its faster and more stable to reinstall the OS.

@ComComPod I use Backblaze for good value cloud backup. It is not an archive system but if my house burns down, all my data is accessible to put on my next computer.

@ashleylynch Niiice!! I really want to invest in an LTO solution one day.
I have like ~25 tb of project data to backup, and while Backblaze/Google Workspaces technically work, I need something on site as well as off site. Pulling down 25 tb in a reasonable time is not possible.

@HPC_Guru @backblaze @EvanKirstel @Tech_Journalism A large modern datacenter near me is 636k sqft. Round down to **** of usable datahall space. An extra-deep rack to support 4U90 ch***is is 8.35 sqft, +6 sqft for hot/cold aisle. That's 42k racks per datacenter, 816 EB. 1.2 Datacenters/ZB!

If you've ever had a hard drive crash, you know it can cost you tons of time and money to recover. I am not selling anything, but @backblaze will automatically back up your drives. I use it and it works.

Following-up on this, I found a simple solution to pay the problem away (for awhile), @backblaze offers "forever" versioning for a fee. It's easier to enable this than to add complexity to my existing workflow, though I will start retaining the old hard disks that I replace.

@DevinUzan Yeah, Donna got an "new" Intel iMac too recently, and we're getting it back to speed. I remember installing backblaze in my old macpro and the program just completely slowing down the machine so much that I couldn't use it, so I deleted and got a refund.

I got on here flogging BackBlaze online backup the other week, as I do every few months.
And yesterday, my external HD Time Machine backup disk **** itself. It's clicking loudly, won't boot.
I tell ya folks, being backed up when **** goes down makes you feel like a genius.

@backblaze As it turns out, it wasn't as dramatic as it looked. Seems like an issue with the UI requesting a dir listing while the listing was still being built. After the tree was built, it worked okay. It got me worried that the bucket was broken. Glad it's ok!

@killerb77 @backblaze I’m not implying that. I’m implying sending emails to thousands and thousands of customers takes time and it would probably be more sensible to deal with the issue and communicate via faster a medium. E-mails aren’t instant - people still would have received them after the outage

@bootlesshacker @backblaze You missed my point. You are implying they could only fix the problem and then communicate. I am grateful they mitigated the problem promptly. They didn’t inform the customers promptly. Email campaigns can be done by 3rd party providers simultaneously as they apply the patches.

@reedgz @prplecake @backblaze Are you asking Backblaze to inform hackers that their infrastructure is vulnerable and give them a window in which to attack it? 🤔
There is no best scenario here. Pull down the infra ASAP, patch it, put it back up and say sorry would be my choice too. I stand with Backblaze.

@reedgz @backblaze I know it's annoying, but it's always midnight somewhere in the world. Offline during day = I can't restore a do***ent. Offline at night = I can't back up my stuff. The security issue they're patching was released into the wild without any warning and is extremely severe.

numMBytesIn_bzfileids_dat=2163609876 which if I am not mistaken is 2.16 Petabytes... I think I know why it locks up my machine now, it is trying to load 2.16 petabytes into active memory.

@backblaze Yeah, they are default not allowed by design in the program, not sure how they got included, has to be a weird bug, I will track it down and send you a report. Even if you try to remove the exclusion it doesn't allow you. So strange. Probably time for a reinstall anyway. https://t.co/ZF3HH5mbxw
