I’m doing something similar (with a lot less data), and I’m intending on syncing locally the first time to avoid this exact scenario.
I’m fairly sure that’s a baby boxelder bug. They are breeding in the thousands at my house as we speak
Yep, you just said the same thing with more words 😁
That makes sense, except Google kinda does the same thing. Everything they have is technically just a “free tier” of the Google One subscription, right? I guess I’m saying that “free tier of paid product” doesn’t automatically qualify a company as trustworthy for me. Is there something else that sets Cloudflare apart?
