• What is this red exclamation mark in my Mac preferences view?

  I've been seeing this red exclamation mark in my Backblaze preferences view on my Mac. When I click it, it only takes me to my account view on backblaze.com. Obviously, it's intended to indicate that something isn't right, but I get no information.

You could sync data to cloud and backup NAS with rclone. Yes, it looks like a deviation of 3-2-1 backup rule. Source: over 1 year ago

• Show HN: Subscriber-Only – Paid Subscriptions for Jekyll

  Just to be clear, you're neither giving Subscriber Only nor the authors your payment details. All of that is handled by Stripe. Their core service is handling this kind of sensitive data.

On Subscriber Only, you can choose between monthly and yearly subscriptions and you can cancel them at any time. You can look at... - Source: Hacker News / about 1 year ago
