Digging into AWS S3's new Glacier Instant Retrieval storage class pricing. Total cost of uploading (many) small objects, transitioning to Standard-IA or Glacier-IR, then expiring/deleting after 6 months. Standard ends up cheaper than either of those for objects under 200 KiB.

(This assumes zero access to those objects during their lifecycle; it doesn't factor the substantially higher cost per-request and per-GB to access the data. That depends on your access patterns.)

Someone made a cool “how much shelf space does X bytes in 3½-inch floppy disks use?” calculator site, but I can't find it now. Anyone remember, or better at searching than me?

For the record:
“I have [deleted] 4.1 petabytes. This much data would need 10,088.7 km (or 6,268.8 miles) of shelving.”
Thanks @alexwlchan 👌🏼 and @madpilot for the reminder .

Chip shortage! I spent many hours designing this hobby 6502 computer, boards are currently being fabricated, but the FPGA is now unobtainable until sometime next year 😫 I wonder what device I can buy that has an iCE40HX4K-TQ144 in it for salvage 🤔

👋🏼 Has anybody used twist.com as their company comms/collaboration tool (i.e. instead of Slack, Basecamp etc)? What did you like about it? What wasn't good? What size was the company? 🙏🏼

macOS 11.0.1 Big Sur / Safari 14.0.1 — anybody else having trouble with ctrl cmd space emoji input in Safari? It seems to periodically stop working (picker doesn't appear). Continues to work in other apps 🤔
Ready to learn a new CI/CD system that will rock your socks? I've written an ultimate guide to getting started with @buildkite including how we've been using it this year starkandwayne.com/blog/build…

Keyboard stopped working on my Arch Linux ThinkPad with latest kernel. Mouse/touchpad not working on my FreeBSD ThinkPad. At this point if Apple makes a 13” or 14” computer with a proper keyboard I’ll buy it and go back to macOS.

TIL the ephemeral storage for AWS Fargate (e.g. a production service spooling user data to /tmp in a container) uses unencrypted EBS volumes. Not encrypted at rest 😬 Surprising, given EBS trivially supports encryption.

Do I know anybody registered for AWS Summit Sydney but not going? My team could use a spare reg or two 🙏🏼
