Does anyone else think $5/month/TB for "cloud storage" (offsite backup) is even too expensive? 🤔

@prologic sounds like wasabi storage? if so $5/mo is reasonable. i duplicated this for $9/mo with a low-cost vps and slab but uptime was questionable.
if using wasabi, wrap your backups in crypto you control keys to before sending to endpoint.
@mutefall How is $5/month reasonable when t costs as little as $0.22/TB/month to run? 🤔

I think it is a fair price. Do you really need 2 TB? Maybe first, you can start with a bit less and upgrade as you need?
@prologic you're paying for the noc-monkey who flips hard drives when they catch on fire. running this at home, you're the noc-monkey thus the disparity in value/cost
@mutefall Yeah but that's still in sane. Because here's the thing. I can order some hardware, shove into a datacenter in a colocation environment and have some ridiculous 10.8PB of storage I can use and sell at a ongoing cost of $0.22/TB -- throw in a little extra for maintenance and bob's ya uncle 🤦♂️
