DEV.toAs a mini-blog, it is a nice alternative for Medium to publish and share information about programming.
However, the community and the organization are biased toward social justice (and they are open to it). You can read its Code of Conduct, it is so vague and politically leads (I prefer a term of service because it defines fair rules for everybody). So it alienates developers that we don't care about politics in pro of people that want to talk about any other topic such as sexuality, how women are unprivileged, and such. It even mandates to use inclusive language. Good grief.
My main complaint is the quality of the community. It is not StackOverflow (so we don't want to ask for an answer here), and most of the top topics are clickbait, such as "how to become a rockstar developer in ... days", "100 tips to become a better programmer" (and it doesn't even talk about programming).
Technically this "mini blog" site allows us to use markdown, and it is okay. However, the whole experience is really basic. Even the template is ugly.
Based on our record, DEV.to seems to be a lot more popular than Kopia. While we know about 649 links to DEV.to, we've tracked only 34 mentions of Kopia.

While developing Wasp, a JS full-stack framework, we keep researching other ecosystems (Rails, Laravel, Django, etc.) and finding ways how they figured out developer productivity. We kept finding these reusable legos, so we gave them a name: "full-stack modules". Let's define what we mean by that exactly. - Source: dev.to / 11 days ago

Getting a first thing online is a milestone worth not reaching alone. A MLH hackathon is the perfect place to try: build, break, and deploy alongside other people over a weekend. And DEV is always here for the other parts, open all the time, where a new coder can post the project, ask for feedback, and read how someone else cleared the same hurdle. - Source: dev.to / 16 days ago
Same idea. Four rewrites. Four character budgets. Four hashtag policies. Four mental models of an algorithm I do not control and cannot see. And that is before you reach Mastodon, Threads, Reddit, a newsletter, dev.to, and whatever launched this quarter. - Source: dev.to / 18 days ago
There are actually really good free backup solutions, like https://kopia.io/. - Source: Hacker News / about 1 month ago
Backblaze's B2 storage is fine if used with a separate app over which you have more control. Others here have mentioned Arq. I have used it, as well as Kopia[0] and Blinkdisk[1] (Blinkdisk is essentially Kopia but with a nicer UI). Can recommend all three highly; the latter two are FOSS.

Regarding the first two points, maybe Kopia [0] come close. It has both GUI and a CLI. For the GUI, it saves your backup key for you (although I have to admit I didn't check how much securely stored it is), but you still have to keep a copy yourself in a password manager or similar in case you need to access your backup from some other machine. AFAIK, for the CLI you are completely on your own regarding secrets... - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago
For #2 I use https://kopia.io/ and upload to Backblaze b3 (S3 api). - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago
I'd throw in kopia[0], fast, many features and easy to use across platforms. [0] https://kopia.io/. - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago
