janitha··on Ask HN: What new hobbies have you developed in the last two years?
Racing/Freestyle FPV Drones. It's a wonderful fusion of building them, electronics, software (betaflight is open source), cinematography, and just tinkering in general.

Profitability?

A cheap one time procedure (ie. vasalgel) is far less lucrative than a pill that need to be bought repeatedly.

How is the container version crippled?

An anecdotal data point, but I've been running the home-assistant container image on k8s without any issue, and I have a lot of integrations.

janitha··on Backblaze restore for Personal Backup is awful
Ah gotcha, I haven't done full restore of my main dataset.

I've only verified with a smaller test dataset to validate the workflow on s3 deep archive (retrieval is $0.02/GB). I've done full backup/restore with the zfs send/gpg/recv workflow successfully (to a non aws s3 destination), and used s3 for quite a long time for work and personal without issue, so personally I have high confidence in the entire workflow.

Pretty much the exact reverse of backing it up https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29541729

    aws s3 cp s3://... - | gpg -d ... | zfs recv ...
When restoring the order of restores matters, you first need to restore the full snapshot, and then the subsequent incremental ones in order.

No intermediate directory/file at all, all done on the fly.

    sudo zfs send -i <LAST_BACKUPED_SNAPNAME> <CUR_SNAPNAME> | gpg -e -r <YOURKEY> --compress-algo none -v | pv | aws s3 cp --storage-class DEEP_ARCHIVE - s3://<PATH_TO_DEST>.zfs.gpg
The very first time you do it, you will need to do a full backup (ie. without the `-i <...>` option). Afterwards, subsequent backups can be done with the -i, so only the incremental difference will be backed up.

I have a path/naming scheme for the .zfs.gpg files on s3 which include the snapshot from/to names. This allows to determine what the latest backed up snapshot name is (so the next one can be incremental against that). And also use when backing up, since the order or restore matters.

S3 Glacier Deep Archive, $0.00099 per GB per month.

I have a ZFS based NAS. And periodically do a incremental backup (zfs send) of the entire dataset, encrypt it gpg and pipe it straight up to S3 deep archive. Works like a charm.

The catch with S3 deep archive is if you want to get the data back... It's reliable, but you will pay quite a bit more. So as a last resort backup, it's perfect.

Nostalgia! This was my first (and only) technic set I got when I was a kid. The most impressive here is the actual functional mechanical systems, all wheel steering, all wheel drive, differentials, gearbox, suspension, etc.

janitha··on Ask HN: How do you organize your code on your machine?
Haha... No Way! Only difference is mine it's the same without capitalization.
