#MastoAdmin PSA: Vultr cloud storage costs are now down to $6/TB/mo.
Backblaze B2 still has the edge on data transfer costs (they bundle data transfer up to 3x the storage amount) but IIRC bandwidth is pooled with cloud servers on Vultr anyway, so you probably won't pay for outbound anyway, and it's one less vendor in the stack to manage. Which is nice when you have better things to do than babysit various vendor accounts as part of running an instance :)
@ian I think I'd be curious if Vultr will let me use multiple CDNs for free like I can with Backblaze.
Currently Cloudflare and will move to Bunny probably at some point. But then I don't run this single user instance on Vultr since it's cheaper for me to run it on a smaller VPS provider.
@ian I cant tell if it was true or not but theres been stories on how they are claiming full perpetual commercial rights over all hosted content on their storage.
@Whiskeyomega One extra fun thing is on their (beta) CDN you can literally check a box to block LLM crawler user agents. Which is nice for, say, media hosting for a fediverse instance.
(we're still on bunny right now for CDN, as there's no way in the Vultr UI...yet...to use our own subdomain for the CDN)
