Own hardware is always cheaper in the long run
True, but S3 offers you extremely high availability and security for a quite fair price, and not everyone wants to immediately self host on their own hardware.
Cheaper to use Backblaze b2
Indeed, the article was written with Backblaze B2 as the S3-compatible storage used.
Or Wasabi
I stick data I will almost certainly never access again on glacier deep archive. Dirt cheap. Good place to escrow data.
Wasabi have similar pricing to glacier, but without the limitation
What do you do if your hardware is housed at home with crappy residential upload speeds?
It’s a genuine question because I’ve settled for hosting on Storj, but because my friends and family can’t be bothered to connect via its client I’m running a WebDAV
rcloneproxy on a VPS over Tailscale. So not only am I paying for the storage itself, I’m also paying for transferring the data and on top of all that, it defeats the point of Storj being P2P from and end-user perspective.I got downvoted for this? 😂
