(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.).

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.

Someone made a cool โ€œhow much shelf space does X bytes in 3ยฝ-inch floppy disks use?โ€ calculator site, but I can't find it now. Anyone remember, or better at searching than me?.

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 ๐Ÿ˜ซ I wonder what device I can buy that has an iCE40HX4K-TQ144 in it for salvage ๐Ÿค”

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 13โ€ or 14โ€ computer with a proper keyboard Iโ€™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 ๐Ÿ˜ฌ Surprising, given EBS trivially supports encryption.
