> and taking down all of Liberia’s Internet—to name a few examples.
This did not happen [1] as was documented here[2], here and here[3]. It spices up the story but in truth, one of local telcos was affected but they accounted for less than a third of Liberia's Internet traffic. The weekend-like Internet traffic seen on that day was because of a national holiday.
Additional source: I lived in Liberia during that time managing the local IXP.

The California aqueduct (444 miles, 714km) would like to have a word :-).
Basically built for the same reason, the central valley of California was mostly arid but the top soil was good for agriculture. The underground aquifer was a limit on how much farming (and of what type) could be done.
Libya's Great Man-Made River (1,750mi, 2,820km) [0] would like to have a few more words :-).

> When you're using an SDK, you can set the value of the x-amz-sdk-checksum-algorithm parameter to the algorithm that you want Amazon S3 to use when calculating the checksum. Amazon S3 automatically calculates the checksum value.
> When you're using the REST API, you don't use the x-amz-sdk-checksum-algorithm parameter. Instead, you use one of the algorithm-specific headers (for example, x-amz-checksum-crc32).

Please do. Backblaze lists x-amz-sdk-checksum-algorithm as unsupported [1]. Would be great to have it supported to be able to use it with Mattermost and other tools that use min.io for S3.
