@rx14 @quad @nixy I'd be probably just sending backups (like WAL and pg_basebackup) up there. That'd mean I never have to download, unless the faculty building burns down or something.

@quad @rx14 @nixy btw. what would you recommend for off-site backup? Sth like backblaze b2? Or more like "get a friendly sysadmin in the other university server room at the other end of the town to give you access to his tape drive" ?

@quad @nixy @rx14 yay, like good assymetric crypto. Except the customer is the attacker here.

@quad @nixy @rx14 IMO cloud is very good for estimating praces of cryptographic attacks. "10$ on EC2" sounds more approachable than "2^$SOMENUMBER modular exponentiations"

@rx14 @quad @nixy not just the source code, but huge input and output files for the test suite. Also, running each test is a separate subtask for the workers. Also, we did things kinda suboptimal, should've cached some stuff on the cloud side.

@quad @rx14 @nixy "online judge" is basically a thing for running online algo competitions. Ppl submit their code, it gets built, run through a tests, the time is measured, and the results are graded.

@rx14 @nixy @quad well it has a database too. It doesn't seem db-bound tho.
