Any experience of Diode? (feddit.uk)

I stumbled across Diode whilst looking for ways to do secure off-site backups (to my own equipment at another house) and it feels like a paid-for TOR (Ok, there is a free option)

I'm looking for any real experience as the site has too much marketing lingo in it:

Every Client is secured with a public/private key self-custody identity

And this doesn't seem very dynamic if I want to change something:

Diode’s Blockchain Name System can be used for Client friendly names

And somewhere on the site it infers unlimited storage...!

So, is the free option worth me looking into, or is it a waste of time?

Any backup location is secure as long as you encrypt your data securely before you back it up there.

For something as important as a backup that you don't want to lose, I'd stick with something tried and true like Backblaze B2.

Backblaze is also very cheap for what it is (a great storage solution). You can pay monthly or use more of the regular pay as you go model.

Monthly and pay as you go have ups and downs, but the benefit of pay as you go for me is the ridiculously cheap deal (if you download your backups a lot it may be less so, but I don't so it works out very cheap for me).

Agreed - Diode caught my eye as an alternative to a site-to-site VPN as I have 2x NAS at different locations (+ Backblaze, which I'll be moving away from)

So, it's less about the destination, more about the network...

But it feels like the website's got more time invested in it, than the actual tech solution.
