Do you know any service cheaper than Backblaze?

So I was thinking about what if we could make a network that the only thing you needed to connect to it is to directly connect ( through wires or directed wireless antennas ) to at least 1 computer that takes part in it, with no centralized node of any kind. For that we would need a whole new protocol and address system. THIS IS...

If I do a factory reset on my phone that has GrapheneOS on it, will that revert it to the stock android that it originally came with or to a “fresh” clean, brand new GrapheneOS? I found conflicting information about this online . . . 🤔

A 4 min 1080p30fps video taken with my phone camera is 518MB, While a 12 min 1080p30fps video ripped from youtube is 341MB, both are using mp4 h.264 as codec and the youtube one isnt of lower quality, so why this big difference?

I’d like to purge some of my info from the interwebs, and was considering trying one of these services. Does anyone have any experience with them?

For nearly two years now, Google has been gradually rolling out a feature to all Chrome users that analyzes their browsing history within the browser itself.

The sha1 hash for 64test64xa is 6779c53432b8badf049bb9d8924a5785dd887243 which is 41 characters only using hexadecimal, 10digits and 6letters. But how long it would be if it was using the whole 26 letters in the latin alphabet? What if it also differentiated between UPPER and lower cases?

Recently, most images on Facebook have stopped loading for me. Sometimes it’s just a few images. Other times it’s almost all images. The longer I scroll, the worse it gets. Today, I couldn’t even see my own pictures. Are any other Firefox users having this problem, or maybe it’s a server issue on Facebook’s end?

Hi! I’m trying to set up faircamp which is like a bandcamp alternative. If I’m understanding correctly it’s a self-hosted static site. I’m new to all this. I’m on a mac, so I’ve installed Brew and then installed Faircamp using Terminal. It’s currently pointing to “Audio Music Apps” folder which is full of audio...

After a long while, I checked back on the arkenfox.js github page, and they no longer mention two extensions I still use: (1) CanvasBlocker (because if Resist Fingerprinting is enabled in about:config, the per page zoom levels get changed and that drives me crazy), and (2) Smart Referer (because, well, it was recommended). I...

I use Firefox and uBlock Origin. Not sure what kind of experience anyone else is having with YouTube, but recently my home page has been empty because I “don’t have watch history turned on”. Okay, fine. I won’t be able to browse suggested videos, and I’ll spend less time on their platform....

my gmail account is full, most of the space is emails. I tried to download them through “takeout” and it has an option that says hey let’s split this up into 2GB chunks. And you select that and it sends you one 12GB .mbox file regardless. The 12GB download keeps failing and now it says you’ve already downloaded these...

For example, if I type out a sentence and decide I want to add asterisks around a word for emphasis, why does Gboard replace the space between the previous word and the emphasized word instead of just adding the new character? Is this added functionality for something I just don’t understand?...
