This has been replaced with a permissions feature that still provides both delete and overwrite protections. The difference is the underlying store needs to implement it rather than running a server that understands the permission differences. You can read more about this change here: https://github.com/borgbackup/borg/issues/8823#issuecomment-...

Thanks for that link. That issue somehow didn't come up when I researched the removal of append-only. The only hint I had was the vague "remove remainders of append-only and quota support" in the change log without any further information.

I also found the "European" remark a bit weird.

I'm American so I don't really know, do Europeans generally ignore how AM/PM works?

IIRC the Romans created the system, so I'd find it really weird if it had dissapeared from common usage around there.

Also, every single picture I've found of a clock tower from Europe seems to follow a 12-hour convention.

Even when it's midnight and the clock hands point to 12, it's just 0:00 in our heads. Of course when thinking an talking about time, sometimes the numbers 13 to 23 are replaced with their 1 to 11 counterparts and if it's ambiguous, a "in the morning", "in the afternoon", "in the evening" is added. But there's a clear distinction between "0" and "12". When someone says "12 o'clock", it's always 12 noon and never 12 midnight, since that would be "0 o'clock".

The fly mode reminds me of the 3D scenes from the movie "Hackers" from 1995 where they "flew" through the system looking for interesting files

You can 'zfs send' to a (special kind of) rsync.net account.

We support encrypted zfs[1][2][3] and raw-send, etc.

The pricing is the same but there is a 1TB minimum because we need to give you your own VM (bhyve) and we have to burn an ipv4 address for you, etc.

Is this VM like a DigitalOcean or Linode VM with storage attached and the customer is fully responsible for it or is this VM managed by rsync.net like the normal storage accounts?

That's actually a cool idea for a password manager in general. After logging in, you input a "salt" value that is appended to the end of all your passwords. That value is never sent to the password server, so even if the server is compromised your associated accounts aren't.

jaegerma · 5 years ago

There's actually a name for that: pepper

Instead of a salt, which is random for each entry and has to be stored along the hash, one single pepper is added to each password before hashing and kept secret.
