@raitobezarius:matrix.orgraitobezarius * Not might16:01:15
@raitobezarius:matrix.orgraitobezariusWe don't have to pay egress fees16:01:19
@flokli:matrix.orgflokliWe still need to contact support etc16:02:13
@flokli:matrix.orgflokliBut yes16:02:15
@flokli:matrix.orgflokliIt's better than doing the snowball dance. But it doesn't make sense to do that now, we don't have a sink for the data yet.16:02:46
@raitobezarius:matrix.orgraitobezariusah right I forgot that it cost 20K to contact the support /s16:03:01
@flokli:matrix.orgflokliMake sure you check the price list first!16:07:04

@domenkozar:matrix.org@domenkozar:matrix.orgso basically we need like 7k/mo if we switch to Cloudflare R203:43:24
@delroth:delroth.netdelroth 7k/mo and being fine with the ethics of giving money to cloudflare 05:03:16
@domenkozar:matrix.org@domenkozar:matrix.orgI don't think we have a lot of choice here12:36:05
@flokli:matrix.orgflokliDon't think it's wise to move it to another cloud provider, we currently do have some AWS sponsoring, and cold freezing things for some months will give us some more time.12:37:22
@domenkozar:matrix.org@domenkozar:matrix.orgI don't think cold freezing is wise if we can save the full history12:38:07
@flokli:matrix.orgflokliI guess long-term the idea is to self-host this, be able to easily dedup etc, without keeping every position on the cloud provider pricing list in mind12:38:13
@domenkozar:matrix.org@domenkozar:matrix.orgehh12:38:31
@domenkozar:matrix.org@domenkozar:matrix.orgyou can migrate from cloud providers, but then you need to pay people inside the foundation to manage all this12:39:24
@domenkozar:matrix.org@domenkozar:matrix.orgI don't think this is going to end well12:39:33
@julienmalka:matrix.orgJulien 7k/mo is still a load difficult to bear for the fondation, no ? If I understand well currently the excess cost with AWS is 6k/mo ? 12:39:53
@flokli:matrix.orgflokliWell, this channel is about binary cache self-hosting ;-)12:40:06
@domenkozar:matrix.org@domenkozar:matrix.org7k/mo I can guarantee I can get sponsorship for12:40:10
@domenkozar:matrix.org@domenkozar:matrix.org flokli: ok, so where can we discuss the plan then 12:40:24
@domenkozar:matrix.org@domenkozar:matrix.orgI'm fine in any channel :)12:40:29
@flokli:matrix.orgflokliThe foundation currently pays 6k a month out of their own pocket and doesn't want to do this long-term, and the AWS sponsorship coving some more costs is time-limited too, because we need to get our costs down.12:41:07
@flokli:matrix.orgflokliThe number of data in the bucket is also growing, it certainly will if we don't want to GC and don't have the wiggle room to dedup12:41:46
@domenkozar:matrix.org@domenkozar:matrix.orgyes, we migrate to R2 and we get 6k/mo of sponsors for the foundation and we have the full history12:41:49
@flokli:matrix.orgflokliWe need more than that.12:41:58
@domenkozar:matrix.org@domenkozar:matrix.orgcache is a common good, we shouldn't just remove stuff if we have a chance of keeping it12:42:01
@domenkozar:matrix.org@domenkozar:matrix.orgit's 500GB of storage no?12:42:13
@julienmalka:matrix.orgJulien
In reply to @domenkozar:matrix.org
it's 500GB of storage no?
Tb
12:42:28
@domenkozar:matrix.org@domenkozar:matrix.orgeh 500TB :)12:42:35
@julienmalka:matrix.orgJulienIt’s going to continue to grow tho12:42:48
