Is it? Is it really? I have about 50tb total in storage, and I’m fairly budget conscious. I know people who have hundreds of TB storage.

300TB is in range of what a normal middle class person can put together on a hobby basis.

So at that exact time big servers get a few hundred requests? I hope it’s a very light weight check and doesn’t trigger any flood or spam protection… otherwise https://i.imgflip.com/xhss9.jpg

I hope that’s not 12am on the dot for all instances, with no fudging of the check time.

He got better

To be safe I should download backups once a month or so.

Maybe look into borg and https://www.borgbase.com/ - they give 10gb free. I sat it up for some important data I would want to keep if utter disaster struck yesterday, and was pretty straight forward.

You could also set up a more ghetto time machine like rsync with https://github.com/laurent22/rsync-time-backup if you have a machine on your network with ssh access from outside.

Sure about that “not a legal email character” part?

I’ve pointed it out a few times, but I think it still bears repeating.

Meta have done a lot of open source development, and in that way you’re using “meta” products daily. They are the people behind React and GraphQL, for example.

React (and React native, also them) is one of the biggest JavaScript frameworks, and GraphQL is an alternative to REST api’s that brings solutions to many problems around REST api’s.

I can almost guarantee you that some of the pages you visit in a day use at least one of those.

They also have a lot of other things. You might have heard of pytorch, a major library for developing and running AI projects.

Just have a look at https://github.com/facebook and https://github.com/facebookresearch/

Edit: to clarify, my point is that maybe meta only thinks of itself, but technology wise they do it pretty altruistic and help the related technological communities a lot.

Got some examples? And please, something other than xmpp. That feel apart under it’s own weight.

When it comes to open source and open standards, Facebook have done quite a lot. React, react native, llama, graphql, relay, pytorch, docosaurus, zstd, flipper, redux, infer, lexical, jsx and a lot more at https://GitHub.com/facebook

Facebook have already contributed a lot to open source and open standards. Why do you say they won’t continue to do that?

Exactly. Linux ended up being a boon for Microsoft. But still people here insist that it must only be for monopoly legality. And that no big company can benefit from and contribute to open source.

So they shifted large parts of azure to Linux, use it internally for many systems, made WSL Linux layer for Windows, spent tons of resources to improve it and support it and made it a first rate development and server system for their solutions like .Net - just so they can say “we’re not a monopoly”?

In truth their attempts at EEE failed miserably and hurt them, and Linux is actually a very good match for what they’re doing in server space and development space.

Microsoft? Like how they destroyed Linux? Oh wait, they’re now one of the biggest Linux kernel contributors and use it extensively internally.

Likewise, Facebook have now also a solid track record of open sourcing tech: https://github.com/facebook

So you’d end up … exactly where we are now?
