They did invest in Alibaba as well as ARM and Uber and runs the SoftBank Vision Fund. They may have failed huge on this one but have been doing quite good.

It's also raised at their official forum but no reply from the author.

The author did take an interview in 2018.

Can anyone from backblaze say anything about their performance compared to other vendors?

The pricing is certainly ahead of others, so I would use if the performance is comparable to some of the leading group tested there.

Call me old, but these days everything including people are so ram hungry I cannot believe the days when things were being done with less than a GB ram.

People talk like having more ram feels like a champ but as developers you might as well want to think about how things can be achieved using less ram.

Many embedded systems and such use BSD because they don't have to release their changes as open source, which pretty much forbids their use of Linux.

If you meant by "servers" such on clouds, maybe it's already Linux only.

If you plug in your laptop to an external monitor and a keyboard, you essentially get a desktop, except you can take it out there with you without worrying about leaving any data or config behind.

As long as BSD stays with BSD license, it won't happen.

If you work at a desk, you're supposed to add an external monitor and a keyboard.

I've been developing on 8GB Mac for years with no problem. Doubt Linux needs more to do the same.

And some other people message me on Saturday morning and again, that is an employee but the good part is that for the people I know, they don't look unhappy or maybe they're just used to that work hours... I don't think I'll want to work like that if I'm an employee.

When I was an employee for the one year in my entire life, I asked for overtime (I was the only person getting it in a company of about a dozen people) and usually worked 9-10 hours for 5 days.

But paid is good that the author has less reason to move away from it. (As mentioned elsewhere, restic hasn't been updated in a while but they recently changed their pricing to be much more agressive which I hated. I wish they give it a softer pricing model than cost per machine.)

Their comparison of cloud storage providers gave me a good insight on what to choose in terms of performance.

I use both restic and Duplicacy, so my backups are done by multiple implementations toward multiple destinations not to get bitten by one of their bugs to avoid the saying "backups aren't working when you need it the most".

It is reluctant to write a config when just sending a file to multiple servers.

Really? Are you that filled or you don't want to use a minute of your weekend?

I've set up a few ansible tasks for occasional use like updating servers but I think it's worth learning. It's especially good when installing a new server. Run and it's to your usual state in no time.

The good part about task runners is that it is self documenting of your repetitive tasks and easy to share. You could create a shell script with comments but ansible is probably more portable.

Their attitude being the monopoly is just annoying.

While I understand that you might want to silence vocal minorities for business reasons, I've only stated facts from my past 20 years of life.
