Except they can’t? Because the world itself doesn’t repeat like that.

Also we’re not talking a doubling of the area. We are talking 1:1 of the entire earth. Starting from satellite images.

While it used to be closed source the maintainer a couple years back decided to not make it a job, and open sourced, took down the hosted option, and nowaintains it as a side project open sourced.

I don’t see how a polite lie is better no.

I don’t understand why you’d want to see people lie to you. That just seems like a waste of everyone’s time to me.

But then what’s the point of the feature if no one is telling the truth?

That assumes dev resources are limitless. And for a company the size of proton that’s certainly not true.

They can only have X amount of devs. So how they allocate them says a lot.

Also given that most complaints I’ve seen at the top are about specific missing features for ages, I think it’s safe they’re putting their eggs into too many baskets.

That assumes you don’t value your time spent dealing with troubles that come.

Like the other person said, it’s fine if you don’t, but for me it’s worth a little upfront cost to have to deal with less ordering new drives, putting the drive in the server, monitor rebuilding of the array, ect…

None of that is an excuse for lack of proper backups. Because even new drives can fail catastrophically.
