I found out that Google Translate provides a hidden but freely available Text-To-Speech API and used it to improve the read aloud feature in GoBlog. Just let this post be read aloud right here to see how it looks now. 😉

I’m switching from Backblaze B2 to Scaleway’s Object Storage.

I used to use B2 as a backup destination for my restic backups from various servers. The service is fine, but what drives me away is missing €-billing (and credit cards as the only payment method) and a somewhat slow performance (at least it feels like that). Scaleway asks for twice the price (0,01€ per GB per month) but the first 75GB are free. And my last monthly B2 bill was below 1$ anyway, so it doesn’t really matter. ☺️ Now backing up my 51GB home cloud: 4,5 hours left.
