Please do. Backblaze lists x-amz-sdk-checksum-algorithm as unsupported [1]. Would be great to have it supported to be able to use it with Mattermost and other tools that use min.io for S3.

> and taking down all of Liberia’s Internet—to name a few examples.

This did not happen [1] as was documented here[2], here and here[3]. It spices up the story but in truth, one of local telcos was affected but they accounted for less than a third of Liberia's Internet traffic. The weekend-like Internet traffic seen on that day was because of a national holiday.

Additional source: I lived in Liberia during that time managing the local IXP.

Besides operators, individuals can also send OTA settings like APNs, proxies, etc. from a SIM card to SIM cards on another network. To the recipient, the message looks just like the settings you get from local MNOs when you first get connected when roaming in another country.
