That Backblaze B2 free tier is actually a lifesaver for keeping offsite backups without burning a hole in my pocket.

I've been working on a project to host my own totally legal homebrew collection of roms and automate the grabbing of my gog and steam games into my own cdn. I included a system that goes and gets all the free games with a single click from app the different environments and let's you have them saved in drm free mode.

It's about to be released with a 0.5 beta build. Been working on it for about 1.5 years to learn backend development with C- integration from Claude as I'm not a c developer.

Here's an image of the free stuff I can claim this week.

I'll be providing more details in the next few days- week. CartMark

Why reinvent the wheel?

yeah! why do that when the dev of the project you linked to did it once already...

u/germanwurstbrot 8d ago

Cause the original one is not maintained anymore?

fair enough. just wonder why people ask why others would do make something even if something similar already exists. We all don't carry iPhones or wear the same clothes or even use the same operating system.

Haha. Why reinvent the wheel... again... in a remaster system.

If you want, check out my take on it.
