  • If you make a backup with a tool like Borg that creates encrypted archives, then using AWS S3 glacier is the cheapest.

    What’s bad about it: if you ever need those files again, it’s going to be VERY expensive to download them again, so it has to be treated as the “what if a nuke hits my city and all the local and off-site backups are vaporized” solution

    Also: it’s not recommended to directly host plain files, they need to be in an archive format with big chunks, as the API calls that are used to list them during sync are counted in a very expensive way












  • In Italy, the cost of subscription for streaming serie A soccer is 5% of the average net wage. And then you need to add the cost of broadband as it’s only streamed, no TV broadcast.

    A low wage worker would need to literally skip meals in order to watch those overpaid clowns kick a ball.

    Buy less Lamborghinis, reduce the price, have enough servers to allow for a service that doesn’t crash and stutter for the first half of the match, then maybe more people would stop paying the illegal IPTV services that are charging 1/10th of the legit service

    As of now, illegal IPTV services are giving a better service (no stuttering for half match), a better experience (a m3u can work with older smart TVs without Android) for 90% less money. And sometimes even better support

    Many people also pay for a VPN+a subscription to paramount plus USA and they can watch serie a from Italy at 50% off.

    I made something crude with python and flask, but it’s only to print address labels, always the same settings (paper size and so on)

    So i just put a textbox, press the button and it prints there.

    When printing generic stuff, you would need to set paper type, paper size, color or BW, if have both sides printed, if printing from a specific tray, then some kind of user authentication (i am lazy and i didn’t care about privacy so i used cloudflare access), so the complexity becomes much bigger.

    Before making my crude script I searched long time for a free or cheap solution, but I didn’t find. If you find, let me know
