    It is $6 a TB. I use less than a TB. Their whole sthick is being cheaper than others. It is a very basic service overall. But does it's job.

    Also they publish drive stats which is pretty cool to have that transparency.

    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.

    Your tool chain?

    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.

    Pandoc

    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. www.hackmd.io

    Cloud backup issues

    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.

    Backblaze

    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.
