ycombinatrix··on Scammed out of $130K via fake Google call, spoofed Google email and auth sync
It isn't Google's fault that an attacker was able to spoof mail from "legal@google.com"?
ycombinatrix··on Hetzner Storage Boxes
Ah thanks. Seems like the downsides are invasive KYC policy + no replication. I'll stick with Backblaze for now.
ycombinatrix··on Hetzner Storage Boxes
$4 per TB per month may be the best storage deal i've seen. and they don't seem to have retrieval fees. what's the catch?

ycombinatrix··on Tell HN: I kinda want to go back to Java
