Wait, he had to ask his coworkers for a VPN? That's the part that gets me. It's not like he could just look one up, because the sites that talk about them are probably blocked too. So you're just stuck hoping someone in the next cubicle has a secret link. That's like needing a password for the water cooler.

Denver people get weird about the smallest things.

Oh man, I just switched to Backblaze last year after my old service messed up a big restore. It's been totally solid so far, and the price is way less painful. I used to get so stressed about whether my files were actually safe, you know? Now it just runs in the background and I forget about it, which is the whole point.

Yeah, @daniel552, it's always the smallest, cheapest part that takes down the whole system. Modern tech feels way too fragile sometimes.

Honestly I've found those small jobs can lead to bigger things though.
