  • Whats the best way to archive data long term while on a budget ?

  • Last months bill for my entire Amazon account was $4.72. most of that was the glacier storage.

  • I think you can technically do it, but it's expensive to retrieve. But that isn't the point of an archive.

  • OP said "archive", not "backup". Glacier is for days you need to keep but rarely touch.

  • Us-East. Look specifically at glacier, which is long term, near free to store, expensive to remove.

  • The data remains yours if you encrypt it. Someone else's computer saves you all the time and effort of maintaining and monitoring hardware.

    You want to use the actual services meant for this. S3 or glacier or something, not just consumer cloud storage like Google drive or Dropbox.

  • Self hosting principals aside, is this data actually important? If so, then don't fuck around with self hosting it. Are you looking for lowest cost? Then don't waste a bunch of money spinning your own disks.

    Amazon glacier to guarantee availability and your own encryption to guarantee privacy.

    It's currently running me about $4/month for around 10tb that I don't want to lose but just don't want to deal with. An equivalent HDD solution would be around $500, that's 10 years to break even assuming zero disk failures and zero personal maintenance time.

    Plus it's guaranteed. Inherent multiple copies, has SLA, and there's no worry about the service just disappearing. It's they decide to shut down or raise prices or whatever, you can reevaluate and move.

    Edit: Glacier and similar services are meant for archival which is the term OP used. You never expect to need it again, but can't get rid of it. Retrieval cost is mostly irrelevant, but yes much more expensive. (I'd wager still less expensive than a home RAID array.)

  • Man I hope they make this happen.

    I also hope it becomes a trend county wide.

  • Is there a curated list of recommended IoT devices?

    Jump

  • Would be real nice if the blackadder list somehow flagged devices that are no longer available.

  • Did you get a home inspection? Start with the things on that. If you didn't, then start by reading up on home inspections, and start taking care of those things.

  • Yeah, and you'll lose a shitload when the next crisis pops off in a few years, taking a few more years to recover that loss. The 401k management firms only ever seem to rebalance quarterly or semi annually, so there's no way to react to those downturns in time to mitigate.

    I got hit by 9/11, 2008, and Covid, plus I've seen my SS benefits reduced a couple times.

  • On Retirement Savings

    Jump

  • I'm in a similar place to you, and I've resigned to it being an impossible feat. I'm pretty close to the number for 40, but the curve is flattening. There's no way I retire at 65 with enough to survive to 80.

    Those numbers were established during boomer economy years and assume a few things that aren't true anymore:

    • infinite 7-9 percent stock market growth, but the modern market crashes every decade or so now.
    • linear year over year wage increases that outpace inflation. Really is either flat wages or OP situation of huge jumps. The former makes saving impossible, the latter throws the x percent by decade curve off.
    • you should count your home equity in that number, but fewer people own homes, or are underwater on them for far longer.
    • the x/decade number assumes a certain amount of income from social security, but that's likely to be stolen by the time we retire.
    • those numbers were made before the entire American population was crushed with debt. Student loans and medical, even just modern insurance premiums dig deep into the ability to hit retirement goals.

    Basically, good luck OP. We're all going to work till we die.

  • Lowest latency input

    Jump

  • OP asks for "lowest latency" but HTTP is fast enough, and later in the thread says "perceptibly instant" is the goal. HTTP is going to be your slowest option, almost certainly, but even the slowest solution is "instant".

    What exactly are you trying to do, OP?

    (Esphome seems like the answer you're looking for. It's faster than MQTT and you can program parts of the automation and service management in the ESP hardware. RF is probably the only way to go faster.)
