Nearly all ISPs these days are deploying IPv6 for their mobile networks and core service networks, especially in less developed markets^1. The reason is simple, a cost justification. What doesn't exist is a cost justification for Enterprises to deploy IPv6, and for ISPs to deploy Residential / Corporate Internet IPv6.
IMO with the right market conditions, IPv6 could spread really fast within 6-24 months. For example, most cloud providers are now charging for IPv4 addresses when IPv6 is free. Small changes like that push in the right direction.
> I've been using Duplicati to sync a lot of data to S3's cheapest tape-based long term storage tier.
There are actually a lot of cheaper S3-compatible services out there, (like Backblaze B2, or Cloudflare R2). They pricing may work out to just backup to these directly. Certainly gives you far more control than Backblaze Backup.
Stripe do this in a cool way. Their REST API is version based on date, and each time they change it they add a stackable compatibility layer. So your decade old code will still work.
Ceph overheads aren't that large for a small cluster, but they grow as you add more hosts, drives, and more storage. Probably the main gotcha is that you're (ideally) writing your data three times on different machines, which is going to lead to a large overhead compared with local storage.
Most resource requirements for Ceph assume you're going for a decently sized cluster, not something homelab sized.
Arguably, "comma as a separator" is close enough to comma's usage in (many) written languages that it makes it easier for less technical users to interact with CSV.
PyPy already has custom python code for different bits, like the crypto library - because this code was written in c for cpython (and the c code gets around the GIL, funnily enough). So PyPy may be required to make more custom code for it all to work, though if it tries to emulate the GIL as specified below, probably not.
