utzer [Pleroma]Sometimes I need to park some TB of data somewhere for a short time, good latency, high speed connection and preferably charged by day/hour would be great. I found <a class="hashtag" href="https://soc.utzer.de/tag/backblaze" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Backblaze</a> as a possible provider, so far so good. S3 Buckets. <br><br>I never used any storage provider except for the slow and cheap <a class="hashtag" href="https://soc.utzer.de/tag/hetzner" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Hetzner</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://soc.utzer.de/tag/storagebox" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Storagebox</a>, but is <a class="hashtag" href="https://soc.utzer.de/tag/backblaze" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Backblaze</a> what I need? (see above)<br><br>Can I encrypt the storage somehow with a password that Backblaze doesn't know when I transfer data from CLI? I mean I could also use GPG (or something with good performance) but need to figure out how to do it the best way to not cost too much performance while transferring. <br><br>This is for really short time storage, less than 24 hours.
