strikeman··on Ask HN: Oracle blocked my account, but I live and work in CZ. Is it just for me?
Honestly, I would like to get my account back. I am an individual and not a company. But the links are about companies, and not about all citizens of Russia and Belarus. It is not so important to return the money, I work in IT consulting and I need certificates.
strikeman··on Ask HN: Oracle blocked my account, but I live and work in CZ. Is it just for me?
Yes, they sent me this: "Dear user, Thank you for your inquiry. Oracle has withdrawn all operations in Russian Federation and Belarus, hence your account has been de-activated. You may refer to https://www.oracle.com/corporate/conflict-in-ukraine/russia/. " but when I wrote to them that I live in the Czech Republic, they asked me to send confirmation and then they just disappeared: "Dear user, Please provide any Government address and identity proof."
strikeman··on Show HN: Free zero-knowledge encrypted backup with open source client
First of all thank you for your comments. I thought, Show HN "is for something you've made that other people can play with" and of course we do not have all "attributes" at the moment. But you can play with it without money or any obligation.

Also could you explain what do you mean "partial open source client"? All client code is on GitHub. If you follow link https://savefile.me/client/savefileme/api and open html code, you can see same GitHub url: https://github.com/savefileme/savefileme This is remote import path following golang specification: https://golang.org/cmd/go/#hdr-Remote_import_paths meta name="go-import"

It is used to not bind to a particular hosting like GitHub or others. But you always download full source code and can inspect it before compiling.

Trust is very important for us. Can we trust to Dropbox or others, if your data is not encrypted, before uploaded? I think no. This is why, we open source our client on GitHub, so as you can see, no any updates, except README file. https://github.com/savefileme/savefileme/blob/master/api/acc... The function UploadFile use aesgcm.NewEncryptReader for data encryption.

This is fully anonymous service and free for use without any registration, so no any payment options on the site, we do not collect your personal information at all. Payment option is available when you simply try to upload your first file. Than, our payment provider collects your personal information and sends you invoice, with all legal information, and physical address too.

As for account creation process, we wanted to make it as simple as possible. You can extract you credentials with command savefileme account export for backup. The client reminds you about that.

And little bit about guarantees... No service gives 100% guarantee. Therefore, it is necessary to periodically test your backups, regardless of whether you are using BackBlaze or No Name.

All data and file names are encrypted on the client. You can see this in the source code: https://github.com/savefileme/savefileme/tree/master/api/aes...

The price is sufficient to cover the cost of storing the data for no more than 30 days. And what do you mean "no-name"? We are a small non-native English speaking team, and just wanted to show our project for discussion. Of course we are not BackBlaze, yet.
