I agree. I've learnt my lesson and I will _NOT_ be running "npm install" on any greenfield projects anymore. I like the idea of Svelte but I do not like its dependency on npm/node.
At least with Vue I can just include the library into the page, with no mandatory build step.
The trade-off is performance. If you don't build your application, you're offloading work to the client.
In the case of Svelte, you're also likely increasing the size of your site, since it transpiles down to simple JS instructions rather than abstracted framework calls.
People think of backblaze as a backup/archive but it is explicitly not an archive - it is a backup and if you delete a file on your system it is purged within 30 days from the copy.
Most people don’t really think about this and expect that any backup is AlSO an archive. You can get burned by this and have to use b2 or whatever it is instead.
What? That article is about how it utterly failed as a backup, with files that were still on drives or had just been on drives but couldn't be downloaded.
This is only possibly true if your definition of "global" is "1st world".
