You are not logged in. If you use a Fediverse account that is able to follow users, you can follow this user.
If you have an offsite copy of your files (and not in a sync service like Dropbox) you are already in a better position than most.
Restoring from offsite takes time, even with Backblaze’s option of shipping a hard disk. You may also have data corruption troubles, companies may close all of sudden. It’s just not as convenient as local copies.
A further copy that is locally available is simply a better strategy. Adding more copies after these two is not a bad idea but you start getting hit by the law of diminishing returns.
You can actually read more about the 3-2-1 rule in a Backblaze post: https://www.backblaze.com/blog/the-3-2-1-backup-strategy/
hoppy.network seems like a very expensive Wireguard provider ($8/month for 1TB@100mbit). For that purpose one can spend half that for a VPS with gigabit speeds, even a quarter that during promotions. That provides the same services plus whatever else you can fit to it. What am I missing that they provide?
Put.io only has torrents, though. There’s also premiumize.me which has torrents, Usenet, and some DDL. It has been a bit of hit and miss for DDL, though.
Speaking of, it’s been a while since I’ve looked at these downloaders. What are the most recent and good ones?
Same, I would actually be curious to listen to a right wing tech podcast as the two concepts clash so hard in my brain.
The development never stalled and the app has already improved. You need to access a new TestFlight link. See their latest post: https://lemmy.ml/post/1550828
Look at the PDF carefully before sharing it. Most academic publishers put a timestamp on it that reveals who downloaded it, at least at institution level. Sometimes this is even embedded as metadata. If the PDF says anywhere “author personal copy”, please don’t share it on the author’s behalf.
This is mostly to avoid getting them into trouble.
Otherwise, go and share, authors love it!
