I don't think Backblaze's personal unlimited tier is going to easily support op's Synology. I'm sure there's a way to get it to work, but their B2 service integrates with Synology and is the appropriate route to take. Op's looking for redundancy. I wouldn't want to rely on an unsupported work around to guarantee my data when they offer a service that's targeted towards what they want to accomplish.

Backblaze B2 is probably going to be the cheapest and seamless options since they say it integrates with Synology NAS. It's $5/TB/month.

Microsoft Azure Archive storage looks like it might be cheaper per month, but that's just going based on storage costs alone. This guide has a pretty decent explanation of examples of the cost to upload and store it.

Backblaze B2 has the synology integration and op wouldn't have to think about the costs of being able to access or retrieve the data from something like Azure cold or archive storage tiers, since B2 is sold as a hot storage option.

Wow this has probably been one of the best write ups on those features I've seen. Thank you.

If you have Microsoft Word, just use the built in spell and grammer check. It's far more capable these days and is very feature rich.
Another user pointed out how much worse you can make your writing using it. I had a peer in a group project put our work through Grammerly and mindlessly accept what it said to do and it ruined the writing.

Mind you, I've never been a fan of Grammerly and certainly don't understand how people could pay for it. And certainly would never be comfortable using it for free, because then they're data mining me.

How is an app being developed for kbin without an api?

It's sort of surprised they were able to get the Rblind.com domain.

No way they would've been able to get blind.com. So domain wise it makes sense.

Hello Kbin Gold Premium Unlimited
:D

It makes a lot more sense for the title to go to the actual linked article.
Why even have a usable comment button if the default behavior is for the title to link to the comments?

Honestly, it'd be pretty neat if Microsoft setup their own instance and consolidated all of their communities onto it. The user part is optional. Since it was federated, you could post to it from other instances (right...? Provided they don't get black listed).

I feel like Microsoft has 10 different community forums for all different aspects of their business. Centralizing it onto an instance like this with magazines for each would actually be reallllllly helpful.

If ever implemented, I'd hope it was optional. Personally, I'd hate it. But more power to those who want the option to view kbin like that.

I do mtb trails. It's hit and miss. Sometimes I don't listen to music. Sometimes I'll have one earbud in with the volume fairly low. I never use two earbuds. I've never had an issue, but my biggest concern is being able to hear animals and stuff.
