We all know the struggle of beloved services slowly going downhill. What’s one service, tool, or website you’ve been using for years that’s still great and hasn’t turned to crap?

Backblaze. Best value online backup since forever. Minimal price increases over time, unlimited backup. Only left recently due to lack of Linux client.

I got a B2 account for my homelab backup. For a long time I was paying $0.52 about twice a year. Now after getting up to around 300gb it's about $1.50 a month.

Cheers, yeah I had looked at that but it would blow out the costs for me vs the cost of personal/unlimited. I'm not a data hoarder in the usual sense but have several TB of personal data - photos, videos etc.

I mostly just backup hard to find things and best quality photos for the household. Everything else would be an inconvenience at best and isn't worth the money.

Though there is a few files I recovered from CD-R disc rot also in the mix. Can't lose my early HTML learning phase even if I forgot it all now. Making IE5.5 work was ART, with all that broken markup most browsers ignored.
