  • If you make a backup with a tool like Borg that creates encrypted archives, then using AWS S3 glacier is the cheapest.

    What’s bad about it: if you ever need those files again, it’s going to be VERY expensive to download them again, so it has to be treated as the “what if a nuke hits my city and all the local and off-site backups are vaporized” solution

    Also: it’s not recommended to directly host plain files, they need to be in an archive format with big chunks, as the API calls that are used to list them during sync are counted in a very expensive way

    I made something crude with python and flask, but it’s only to print address labels, always the same settings (paper size and so on)

    So i just put a textbox, press the button and it prints there.

    When printing generic stuff, you would need to set paper type, paper size, color or BW, if have both sides printed, if printing from a specific tray, then some kind of user authentication (i am lazy and i didn’t care about privacy so i used cloudflare access), so the complexity becomes much bigger.

    Before making my crude script I searched long time for a free or cheap solution, but I didn’t find. If you find, let me know
