Something Happen at BackBlaze?
-
Hey gang Yev from Backblaze here. You might remember me from such places as...YCombinator or...Reddit...or...the internet. Nothing terrible is going on at Backblaze. Aaron is still with us and we are still doing great. I'm usually the "spokesperson" for Backblaze, but because I'm not very technical, and because Aaron already had a presence here, he'd pop in and out on occasion and impart some of his knowledge. Sometimes, he'd ask for guidance and we'd work together to come up with good answers.
Not sure why Aaron removed his account and content, but that's up to him as an internet citizen. If you have Backblaze related questions, go ahead and ping me and I'll try and respond whenever I can, though, if the questions are about actual Systems Administration, please be prepared for me to take a long time to respond while I read Sys Admining for Dummies and learn a bit more about it. If you just want to chat, I made this account and will keep an eye on stuff from time to time.

@YevP Awesome @YevP obviously we are sad to see @aaron leaving us as he's been a contributor for years here and a friend for many years before that. But BackBlaze gets a lot of love and a lot of users here so it's an exciting turn of events to have Aaron's departure signal a more official representation from BB. Glad to have you here and excited to see more information and interaction from BB.
Lots of BB users and B2 is such an intriguing service and I think fits this community's needs so well.

@scottalanmiller Yea, happy to be here! Mango Lassi's been something I've known about for a while, but just like some very technical subreddits I tried to stay away as my expertise is more cat memes and silly videos - but I'm here now, so feel free to ping me when/if you got a Backblaze question! I'll do my best

Aaron just decided to reduce his community profiles and remove his old stuff. He was never an official media rep for them, he just works as one of their sysadmins so I ping him when I see stuff that is relevant. Nothing awry at BackBlaze itself.
Well he's done it several times before so seems like normal for him.

He has? I've never seen him do anything like this ever. Or do you mean when he stopped working at SW? That's different, he changed jobs.

He did? Are you sure? I'm not aware of that ever happening.
Are you perhaps confusing him with @aaronstuder ?

No
This is Aaron that a lot of us know from his time in Spiceworks as a support engineer.
