Working with s3cmd on rsync.net

This document lists some problems I encountered using s3cmd on rsync.net and how I solved them.

Uploading with the ONEZONE_IA class

s3cmd sync doesn't support the --storage-class argument, and even that doesn't support the ONEZONE_IA storage class. You can still upload objects to that class by specifying the x-amz-storage-class header, but s3cmd sync will ignore that. The best solution I have is to upload your files as you normally would, then use s3cmd modify to set the storage class after upload.

Generating SSH keys with Arq

Tested with Arq 5.

I encountered some issues trying to add my existing SSH key pairs with Arq. I saw errors like:

[path to key]: Key 'OPENSSH' is not supported.

• ReadySHARE only supports drives up to 4TB in size. Some routers have an even smaller limit.
• If you are using a drive with multiple partitions, ReadySHARE can, between firmware upgrades (or maybe reboots?) switch which partition is presented in which Samba folder.
• ReadySHARE seems to change the mount point / "share name" of attached devices based on the the current phase of the moon.

Over the last few months, I've been cleaning up after myself and filing CCPA requests where I can. Here are some of the less-friendly companies that I've encountered in this process.

Sift

Signed me up for marketing emails using the email address I provided for my CCPA request.

Equifax

The worst one of them yet.

If, when doing something like docker-compose up, you run into an error like this:

ERROR: Named volume "server/db:/usr/share/nginx/html/db:rw" is used in service "web" but no declaration was found in the volumes section.

You're missing a leading ./, so, for example:

volumes:
 - 'server/db:/usr/share/nginx/html/db'

GitHub associates a unique resource ID (or "database ID" or just "ID") with each API-accessible resource. For example, each [issue][issue-id], [repository][repository-id], and [user][user-id] has a global ID. In my limited experience with it, GitHub's REST API generally does not expose endpoints by which resources can be queried by ID (though it does have some [undocumented endpoints][repo-rest]). These resource IDs have been superseded by distinct [global node IDs][global-ids] (node_id). GitHub's GraphQL API allows retrieval of a node by its ID, called a "direct node lookup".

As you can tell, you likely don't have much reason to interact with the older
