@Fireduck yes. i want to join.
2019-05-01 18:27:00
Fireduck
Awesome, give it a try and let me know if you encounter any problems
2019-05-01 18:39:38
Fireduck
I am in the process of adding plain browser uploads so people don't have to use dropbox
2019-05-01 18:39:53
Fireduck
Dropbox will still be better for large files or lots of files or directory structures
2019-05-01 18:52:29
fydel
both ways of uploading are useful.
2019-05-01 18:52:54
Fireduck
Indeed
2019-05-01 18:53:52
fydel
buckets are permanent?
2019-05-01 18:54:34
fydel
i cant find a way to delete
2019-05-01 18:55:57
Fireduck
Yes
2019-05-01 18:57:05
fydel
maybe add a hide feature.
2019-05-01 19:05:31
fydel
what if i accidentally upload a picture of my private keys?
2019-05-01 19:05:57
Fireduck
Better change the keys
2019-05-01 19:08:03
Fireduck
if you catch it before you save the snapshot, you can discard the snapshot
2019-05-01 19:08:25
Fireduck
That gives you an opportunity to see if the snapshot indeed has the files you want
2019-05-01 19:11:34
fydel
ah. okay. good.
2019-05-01 19:21:34
Fireduck
I am also working on allowing unicode for the archive names
2019-05-01 19:22:00
Fireduck
so you guys can rock out with your umlaut
2019-05-01 19:29:12
Fireduck
I guessed what your user id probably was and gave you an extra 100mb
2019-05-01 19:31:26
fydel
gööd. umläute röcks.
2019-05-01 19:32:29
fydel
thanks for the additional storage.
2019-05-01 19:48:19
fydel
i like the concept.
2019-05-01 19:49:03
Fireduck
awesome
2019-05-01 19:49:33
fydel
but what if you are hit by a lighting? do other people have access to the cloud storage, m-discs or harddrives?
2019-05-01 19:50:28
Fireduck
a good question. Things should run along without me just fine. On the hosting end, basically until Google deprecates something that is being used.
2019-05-01 19:50:45
Fireduck
Two sets of the m-discs are in remote locations that others have access to
2019-05-01 19:51:18
Fireduck
I have a friend who is soon to be a shareholder, who would take over the business
2019-05-01 19:54:21
fydel
ok. cool.
2019-05-01 20:06:54
Fireduck
http://friendbear.org is hosted on forever bucket
2019-05-01 20:07:04
Fireduck
I can also direct hostnames to things
2019-05-01 20:07:14
Fireduck
but it takes some special setup so don't have that automated
2019-05-01 21:25:37
Rotonen
from an angle, it’s a pretty good thing you sell there, a mix of vanity and immortality
2019-05-01 21:26:24
Rotonen
coloring my point of view: in games the most profitable things to sell are hats, tournament access
2019-05-01 21:27:30
Rotonen
the next level up from that is what valve is doing for the dota tournanent fan packages
2019-05-01 21:27:41
Rotonen
food for thought ;)
2019-05-01 21:29:15
Fireduck
yeah, there is an interesting mix. Some people are comforted by the fact that most likely nothing they do will last so in the end, they don't need to worry.
2019-05-01 21:29:22
Fireduck
It will all be dust whatever they do.
2019-05-01 21:29:37
Fireduck
Other people are terrified by that and want something to stand forever.
2019-05-01 21:45:46
Rotonen
i’m in the content club myself, in entropy i trust
2019-05-01 21:46:47
Rotonen
if dns could be permanent, i could have uses for jokes
2019-05-01 21:58:42
Fireduck
I could do that
2019-05-01 21:59:47
Rotonen
in that i’d have interest
2019-05-01 22:00:39
Fireduck
Is SSL/TLS a deal breaker on that?
2019-05-01 22:01:32
Fireduck
I can make it work with TLS, but there will be some additional provisioning process that will take a few minutes to run
2019-05-01 22:01:38
Fireduck
but I guess that probably isn't a big deal
2019-05-01 22:14:06
Rotonen
automated letsencrypt sounds good enough for the purpose
2019-05-01 22:14:32
Rotonen
how do you handle versioning?
2019-05-01 22:15:32
Rotonen
the concept sorta implies by preventing it, but then again an index.html would be too daunting to write in perpetuity on the first go
2019-05-01 22:18:25
Fireduck
All snapshots are preserved
2019-05-01 22:18:42
Fireduck
But most recent is served on request for 'head'
2019-05-01 22:22:19
Rotonen
and you set no cache control headers, i suppose
2019-05-01 22:25:08
Fireduck
On request for a specific snapshot I set it high
2019-05-01 22:25:24
Fireduck
On head request, I do something reasonable
2019-05-01 22:27:04
Rotonen
i'd say it never makes sense to set it for head
2019-05-01 22:27:57
Rotonen
my marketing itch is starting again, `angelfire for distinct nerds`
2019-05-01 22:30:05
Rotonen
CC0
2019-05-01 22:42:41
Fireduck
I think I have it at 5 min for head
2019-05-01 22:43:06
Fireduck
Not really meant for rapidly changing content
2019-05-01 22:45:55
Rotonen
fair
2019-05-01 22:46:00
Rotonen
even 1h should be fair
2019-05-01 22:46:13
Rotonen
or 1d
2019-05-01 22:46:16
Rotonen
1w would be harsh
2019-05-01 22:47:00
Fireduck
Mostly I wanted reused items to not need to be reloaded in a browsing session
2019-05-01 22:49:53
Rotonen
i assume bandwidth is a cost for you
2019-05-01 22:50:11
Rotonen
cloud at cost did not go too well as a business
2019-05-01 22:50:40
Rotonen
oh, it's actually still going, heard it was in trouble a while back
2019-05-01 22:50:42
Fireduck
I track bandwidth and people can buy bandwidth quota
2019-05-01 22:50:55
Fireduck
As one time or refreshing
2019-05-01 22:53:04
Rotonen
the quotas make me think you host on antarctica
2019-05-01 22:53:17
Rotonen
though iridium is cheaper these days
2019-05-01 22:59:53
Fireduck
Google Cloud bandwidth isn't cheap
2019-05-01 23:00:19
Fireduck
I plan on offering cache boxes as a lower cost solution
2019-05-01 23:00:36
Fireduck
Lower availablity and quality as well
2019-05-01 23:03:39
Fireduck
As with other things the refreshing bandwidth is a single payment that gets that bandwidth each year
2019-05-01 23:03:41
Fireduck
Forever
2019-05-01 23:05:01
Rotonen
not appealing to put a funny on there
2019-05-01 23:09:40
Fireduck
You get a free 50mb
2019-05-01 23:09:45
Fireduck
So why not?
2019-05-01 23:10:16
Rotonen
if a funny is actually funny, people will end up missing it
2019-05-01 23:10:34
Rotonen
or alternatively i end up racking up quite a bill
2019-05-01 23:10:35
Rotonen
meh
2019-05-01 23:13:12
Fireduck
No bill, it just gets turned off
2019-05-01 23:14:16
Fireduck
Temporary until the quota recovers
