.@Backblaze customer @DecartAI emerged from stealth mode last week, announcing Oasis, their playable, realtime, open-world AI model. I love this quote from their CEO, @DLeitersdorf, in our blog post: "B2 Cloud Storage was literally the only technical thing we used in training… https://t.co/2fzHM...

@MountainRoche (Not all the time - that would be ridiculous! Just when I’m out on a run)

.@Backblaze continues its expansion, announcing a new data region in Canada, in partnership with @Opti9Tech. Now, Canadian organizations with data residency requirements can benefit from Backblaze’s ease-of-use and cost-effectiveness! https://twitter.com/backblaze/status/1851610083555246108

I can see the exact day that @SalesforceDevs removed my Forcecraft video (https://youtu.be/eb3GgM1o_8I) from the APIs introduction on @trailhead. Ah well, it had a great run - 622K views across 10 years!

The sole reason I pay for the blue check is to get Tweetdeck, so I can monitor a bunch of search terms and lists on one page. Hashtag search is broken now. It starts out fine (first pic), but within a few seconds, it's full of irrelevant crap (second pic). Magic 🙄

Sometimes, a quantitative change is so big, it becomes a qualitative change. With the new Scalable Application Keys feature, @Backblaze customers can create up to 10,000 keys per minute, *150 times* the current rate.

Running a fleet of IoT devices, and (justifiably!) cautious… https://t.co/cBew...

I'll be part of the @Backblaze team at the EDUCAUSE Conference in San Antonio next week (#EDU24). Drop by booth #8038 to chat about cloud object storage, or just say "Hi!" and grab some swag! https://twitter.com/backblaze/status/1846904487362929016

@SIRHAMY @DanielLockyer Backblaze B2 Reserve, our capacity-based pricing option, includes unlimited egress and API transactions, AND free migration of your data from wherever it’s currently marooned 2/2

Event Notifications supercharge Backblaze B2 Cloud Storage, allowing you to easily integrate with pretty much any technology, anywhere, without the requirement to hook into a proprietary message system. Check out the announcement for all the details! 👇🏻 https://t.co/XhOI6Rv0qq

I’m really looking forward to moderating the #BackblazeTechDay24 panel session next Tuesday - join me and our panelists! https://twitter.com/backblaze/status/1836856665808732443

This isn’t good when you work for a company called @backblaze, on a product called B2!

Kin Lane, aka the @apievangelist, kindly invited me to help kick off his new podcast, API Evangelist Conversations, earlier this week. Join us to learn about the evangelist role and how the S3 API became a de facto standard for cloud object storage. https://t.co/OSG8UR3I4d

@merseamillsy @backblaze Having said that, if a disaster were big enough to impact both North Essex and Amsterdam, your photos would probably be your least concern! 2/2

@kellabyte @SalesforceDevs @CSUMB A cheap laptop and an internet connection gave you access to an entire stack, from the OS up, free of charge. Hugely empowering for a class of mostly first generation students! 2/2

I love the retro look on this - I used to have a phone like that! https://twitter.com/buttercupirl/status/1826025922543394864

#Rclone and #BackblazeB2: like peanut butter and chocolate 😋 https://twitter.com/driftywinds/status/1825436572382318915

GitHub - backblaze-b2-samples/b2-browser-upload: Demonstrates uploading files from JavaScript in the browser to Backblaze B2 using both the B2 Native and S3-Compatible APIs Demonstrates uploading files from JavaScript in the browser to Backblaze B2 using both the B2 Native and S3-Compatible APIs - backblaze-b2-samples/b2-browser-upload

Some time ago, I created a GitHub repo showing how to upload files from JS in the browser using the #BackblazeB2 Native API. I just updated the repo to show the same using S3 presigned URLs, with an explanation of the differences between the two: https://t.co/meot9usmBP

This was a fun project, getting to grips with LLMs, RAG and #LangChain, and showing how to build a conversational chatbot that can securely use confidential data in generating its responses. https://twitter.com/backblaze/status/1823404207900065841

Today, #BackblazeB2 Event Notifications moves a step closer to general availability! I wrote a little utility to deliver notification messages to local services. Check it out at https://github.com/backblaze-b2-samples/b2listen https://twitter.com/backblaze/status/1818693145078472879

@kelseyhightower It turns out that the difficulty isn’t so much in the syntax as in deciding *every* *little* *detail* of what you want your app to do. Even with an AI helping, there’s a lot you can’t hand-wave away. 2/2

Hi @Zbjorn! Searching for cloud object storage performance numbers, I happened upon your excellent article from 2015, https://t.co/RnsqJQii0c. Thanks for posting that!

I also noticed that your post was shamelessly plagiarized a couple of years ago: https://t.co/eK91n4NibS

@VoteRepubGuy @gtconway3d Yeah - that’s “friendly truthful messaging” 🙄

@fesshole Another: “Alexa, play the Sex Pistols” 😃 2/2

She replied “People eat their food and we clean up”, thinking “What a dope!” We spent the entire weekend chatting, the lobby was a mess, and Sunday afternoon I asked her on a date. That was 1988; we married in 1994 and we’re still very much together ❤️
