If you are using the Docker single container deployment using the official image (sourcegraph/server) you will be affected, as that image is Enterprise free tier.

Hello,
We will be implementing changes to the Sourcegraph free tier on February 22, 2023 with the release of Sourcegraph 4.5. Details on the new free tier can be found here [1]. The changes are:
The maximum number of private repositories that can be synced to each instance will be reduced from unlimited to 1.
The free tier will no longer support SSO/SAML.
As an existing free tier user, we’d like to offer you a license key to keep your legacy free tier plan with the ability to sync unlimited private repositories. If you would like a license key to keep your plan, please submit this form by February 22 and we will gladly send you one.
Please note that without a license key, your instance will automatically move to the new free tier plan if you upgrade to Sourcegraph 4.5+. Instances that stay on version 4.4 or older will not be impacted.
In the same breath where Biden calls himself a "proud pro-labor president," he calls on Congress to break a strike. [1] The hypocrisy will make your head spin.
What's the incentive for the railroad companies to bargain in good faith with the unions instead of deliberately stalling and waiting for the federal government to break the strike preemptively? All downside risk has been removed.
Biden publicly backed the unions, waited for the midterm elections to finish, and then switched sides and backed the railroad companies.
Democrats backstabbing labor will fracture an otherwise solidly blue voting block in a time when Dems are winning races by single-digit percentage points.
No party in America supports workers' rights. Dems will say they do, but when push comes to shove, there is no one.
So it seems that your complaint is that certain things are not funded enough at a university. Why is your conclusion then to defund universities entirely? It seems like a non sequitur.
Think of the whole picture. The why. If you hear how admins and the "inner circle" professors talk you start to pick up on how they run things.
It's a bandwagon culture that believes they have a responsibility to be activists and force that upon students. There is no fixing that by just replacing leadership. The whole boat must go.
Burning a system to the ground is almost always the best way to turn a bad system into a worse one. Just like the junior devs impulse to tear out the bad code some other guy wrote and replace it with the differently bad code that they wrote.
Refactor. Don't rebuild. The bigger the system, the more true that is.
Code is logical, people are not. Cultures can only be removed, you will never convince a 40 year old woman working in education their whole life that their entire philosophy is wrong. They will continue to push their beliefs under the table. That's the poison that is naturally bred in public institutions. It's all politically motivated.
Not that I vote for them but you can see how little of a dent Trump made because the institutions around them were actively undoing their work. Perhaps for good reason, however they were voted in by half the population. What we see for support in education is largely confirmation bias. If you put it to a public vote higher education would be defunded.
Can an upset judge decide to put the NSO leaders and employees on a terrorist list? They could argue it was an attack on national security if they can show some important person from US would have been hacked by a foreign government.
Then if EU could put the same guys also on the list maybe there would be some effects.
> Can an upset judge decide to put the NSO leaders and employees on a terrorist list?
They can hold them in contempt, which leads to arrest warrants. Default judgements can then enable the creditor, in this case Apple, to start seizing assets. But TL; DR no, a judge can't put someone on a terrorist list; that's a national security and thus executive function.
At least one of the founders can be found from American homesoil NYC but we know very well nothing will come out of it because of the Israeli love story Americans have.
A piece of advice I was given once and try to remember to follow is to, when commenting online, think "does this comment seem wrong if read out of context".
For example you wouldn't have had to come back to explain the context of your comment if your "I strongly doubt anything will come of this." had ended with "..come of this in discovery."
source? My thought is if you tried this in israel the actual intelligence apparatus would have you picked up pretty quickly and in a dark hole for as long as they wanted.
They are part of the actual intelligence apparatus, or at least former. The execs are former members of Unit 8200, the Israeli SIGINT org. And companies like their's are where former IDF SIGINT officers go after service. And their company is a major piece of Israeli diplomacy; access to their software was one of the carrots Israel has been using to push gulf state away from Iran.
So no source and no understanding that because of compulsive military service most of Israel is ex military and no intelligence agency will allow the government to be blackmailed by a private intelligence firm?
Yeah, I think it's more about CF hemming them in, curtailing growth opportunities. Especially since the line until recently had been "use Cloudflare and get free transit between CF and Backblaze B2!" Haha, so much for that.
I don't think they're targeting Backblaze, but their position as the foremost middleman of the Internet means they're going to hurt direct competitors and partners pretty much any time they launch a product, until they're out of partners that host "cloud services". Which is a position Cloudflare put themselves in entirely on purpose.
If the majority of their business is personal backups then the business is already in a decline. I've looked at them multiple times, and Google Drive and OneDrive are both much better deals.
Google Drive and OneDrive are sync services. Backblaze is backup. You can walk back to a specific day on Backblaze and download or ship a copy of all your files from before a disaster hit. Google's Backup is still live synced and has no rollback functionality. Sync is handy, but I still have the synced folders backed up.
It's a bit different to the original argument but there is the issue that people have more and more files created in those services and only existing within them (desktop Office tries its best to convince you to do this).
It's hard to convince people who go along with that "but you don't really have backups, you need to download everything locally and pay $5/month".
There's an infamous comment on the Dropbox launch that addresses this better than I can, but I can't find it. Suffice to say: yes, I'm aware there are solutions I can put together that are more work than I care to do to maybe save some portion of $65 a year. Putting those snapshots on Drive would tear through (expensive) space fast, so I'm not sure it's a savings. Backblaze provides incremental backup for my entire SSD. Even more if I ever fill that empty bay. I don't even pay for Drive since few things I do benefit from syncing, so this would probably cost more and be worse.
I actually got rid of backblaze a while back because I realised I had moved machines twice and didn't bother restoring files with it. I've had backblaze for years (maybe even a decade+?!)
Code is all on GitHub, all my docs and emails are in gsuite (and don't get backed up anyway by BB). The only thing that does get backed up is a load of cruft and junk I've accumulated which is actually nice to start over on tbh.
I imagine more and more people are like this. Designers who used to have to be meticulous at backing up their source files now all work in Figma, etc etc.
The major weakness now is if GH or Gsuite had a catastrophic error (or your account gets booted off for incorrect reasons). I actually think that is the more pressing backup need than local files for many.
I'm sure it depends on needs. I have gigabytes of raw photos, videos, renders, stems, asset packs I can't count on being available from the original source, etc. I never need to access it on other computers, so they're not synced to services that charge a premium for space for the value of syncing, but I can grab a file outside a synced folder from the Backblaze website or app in a pinch.
I was under the impression that their business was $70/year to backup your whole computer (all drives, completely managed). Their backup service grew 23% yoy, so I wouldn't call it in decline.
Can you go into why Google Drive is a better alternative? I can see 2 TB for $100/yr, but I don't think the products are exactly the same.
First, the $70/year backup is for personal use and Mac and PC only.. they do have limits, they just don't tell you what they are and they throttle even though they say they don't. The clients suck and are closed source. Also, the restore functionality is terrible.
At least with Google Drive, the 2TB plan you can store what you want and access it in the cloud like a regular file. It works with rclone and restic, so you can use it for regular backups as well and it is extremely fast. I can upload over 750GB per day in about 3 hours with Google Drive, but it would take over 3 days with Backblaze.
“When I was poor and complained about inequality they said I was bitter; now that I'm rich and I complain about inequality they say I'm a hypocrite. I'm beginning to think they just don't want to talk about inequality.”
I don't think it's shady marketing. The company is composed of several prominent software engineers (eg Brad Fitzpatrick of memcached fame). I think many folks on HN (myself included) are interested to see what they are working on. Especially as Brad left Google to work on it.
Brad Fitzpatrick aside (he's done a lot more than memcached), David Crawshaw, co-author of TFA, lead go-mobile (native golang apps for Android and iOS) and NetStack (userspace TCP/IP implementation used by gVisor and in-anger by Fuschia) while at Google.
I understand. But given the product features compared to the rest of the industry, Tailscale brings no real value compared to Zero-tier hen it comes to meshes, it's not zerotrust like Cloudflare, Twingate, and many others, it claims to be open source while only the client is and it cannot be used without their closed source control plane where most of the feature are behind paywall, it's way more expensive than reputable offerings like Citrix, Cloudflare and others. Their security is very dubious to me (they can in fact inject their own public keys to connect to clients machines and there is no way but to trust their word that they won't). I mean, what's the innovation compared to the industry in order to get that systemically excessive coverage here?
It's more zerotrust-y than Cloudflare et al since it's entirely P2P, with only the control plane running in the cloud.
Compared to ZeroTier, the Tailscale client has a permissive license, the mesh is fully routed (vs. a L2 network with unencrypted broadcasts), is written in a memory-safe programming language, integrates with company SSO, and uses the Wireguard protocol (i.e. sane, audited crypto instead of a DIY protocol).
zerotrust has nothing to do with p2p, zero-trust is about making sure that this user is authorized to access that application at the resource level not using some decades old segmentation/network level policies. Zerotier also claims to be zerotrust but it's technically not. Cloudflare, Citrix, PulseSecure have zerotrust offerings, but many others sadly just claim to be either by ignorance or dishonesty.
You seem to be confused between zerotrust and encryption. Zerotrust is about auhtentication/authorization at the application level. Also tailscale is as centralized as Cloudflare et al. What happens when tailscale servers go down? Can 2 peers behind NAT still be able to connect to each other? can they synchronize each other's public endpoint and public key?
> Tailscale brings no real value compared to Zero-tier
This article has nothing to do with Tailscale the product and everything to do with the team's unconventional approach to engineering. That's what HN is interested in and why the post is being upvoted.
There is nothing unconventional in moving from SQL to key-value distributed database. And if it was any other company that submitted this very same post here we wouldn't be talking here right now as it would have never gotten a single upvote. The posts of this company almost always come with their upvotes right after submission (by others) and the founders were surprisingly replying minutes after submission. This is systematic behavior.
