i have an aws instance that has git repos, a postgres instance, and other stuff on it where i put important stuff. probably a lot more expensive than existing services when it comes to storage or bandwidth costs but whatever. all the stuff i have worth having backups for is text or code or small db tables or other small files so it doesn't really matter

also i like building overly complicated lovely systems by hand instead of using existing solutions so this is perfect for me

you're probably thinking of lightsail, the version of ec2 that costs more and has an actual UI

https://aws.amazon.com/lightsail/

that's for web hosting tho, nothing in cloud storage that's simplified. although there's plenty of third party apps that use s3 and glacier as a backend

ah, that might have been it. guess i misremembered

that's already every adobe product so why do they even need to train a model for that

it also really depends on what the documents are and how many you have and how often you add new ones and how you use them and a whole bunch of other things. it might be you don't even have to organize them. one thing that's apparently a huge time saver for people who get tons of emails every day (suckers) is to not file them in some folder hierarchy or anything like that: just dump everything in the same folder and use search when you need something instead

yeah but it's less work to not delete them and disk space is cheap

or are utterly deranged and like to overengineer things yet get results that are inferior in every way to turnkey solutions, like me

gotta increase those profits!

probably the only valid reason i have for rolling my own is exactly that "hey we're sharing your stuff with people now and also you don't mind us selling all your metadata to anyone who wants it right?" thing providers could do. with my aws stuff if that happens it's because i've hosed up config somewhere and it'll be a valuable lesson. also who the gently caress is going to notice one more unsecured s3 bucket among ten million others?

I feel like I'd like having one setup but the idea of installing a service to maintain the config of another self hosted service out of work hours makes me queasy

do it during work hours then
