  • I don’t think Backblaze’s personal unlimited tier is going to easily support op’s Synology. I’m sure there’s a way to get it to work, but their B2 service integrates with Synology and is the appropriate route to take. Op’s looking for redundancy. I wouldn’t want to rely on an unsupported work around to guarantee my data when they offer a service that’s targeted towards what they want to accomplish.

    Backblaze B2 is probably going to be the cheapest and seamless options since they say it integrates with Synology NAS. It’s $5/TB/month.

    Microsoft Azure Archive storage looks like it might be cheaper per month, but that’s just going based on storage costs alone. This guide has a pretty decent explanation of examples of the cost to upload and store it.

    Backblaze B2 has the synology integration and op wouldn’t have to think about the costs of being able to access or retrieve the data from something like Azure cold or archive storage tiers, since B2 is sold as a hot storage option.


  • If you’re recommending Diablo, I’d recommend Nine Parchments over that. They’re kinda similar gameplay wise, but Nine Parchments is far far far easier to get into and pick up and play. The skill trees are fairly straight forward and you don’t have to worry about equipment stats. We played it a ton a few years ago. Even after playing it for a while and then having the same group try Diablo 3 on the Switch, we went right back to Nine Parchments.

    I had played Diablo 3 on the pc previously online with others, which worked. But I don’t feel like it was really as enjoyable with multiple people sharing the same screen on the Switch trying to mess with their load outs, go to shops, etc.

    Nine Parchments was far easier to pick up and play. You had certain powers. Skill trees you upgraded. And that was it.


  • If you have Microsoft Word, just use the built in spell and grammer check. It’s far more capable these days and is very feature rich.
    Another user pointed out how much worse you can make your writing using it. I had a peer in a group project put our work through Grammerly and mindlessly accept what it said to do and it ruined the writing.

    Mind you, I’ve never been a fan of Grammerly and certainly don’t understand how people could pay for it. And certainly would never be comfortable using it for free, because then they’re data mining me.
