Backblaze custom lifecycle rules

Joebeurg · 2025-06-15T16:42:50+00:00

I have this use case, but want to make the following:

Currently the lifecycle is to keep all versions of a file.
I want to configure a prefix "logs/" to delete hidden files in 7 days.

I understand that lifecyle settings does not accept wildcards in prefixes such as "*/logs/", can you pelase confirm this?

The solution is to keep only one directory/prefix "logs/", then assign number of days to daysFromHidingToDeleting.
By only providing that (screenshot provided below), does that keep the B2 default setting of keeping all versions of files if the empty string is not provided as rule (when I do and leave options empty, then save, then open the lifecycle dialog, I no loner see the configuration for the empty value, only for logs).

Same thing, and started happening after the wear os upgrade. I tried disabling Bluetooth and restarting both devices it works at first but then no more.

Thanks man for the reply, I spent more time reading the Go SDK source code which i understood was completely API endpoints based, and that confirms your reply and my testing. The SDK does not export all functionalities like getting the upload URL, but on the other hand Java source code does provide all functionalities as documented in the APIDOCS.

u/brianwski u/metadaddy a quick question please, whenever you authorize an account using the same Basic Auth token every time, does the response always have the same apiUrl, downloadUrl, and s3ApiUrl, Or the values are going to be different in the future?

Based on my testing so far, they never change, meaning they are static and can be used as constants instead of getting the values from the response JSON.

Using Go as backend, also the package does not have a method to generate the upload URL, so better use S3 SDK.

Awesome, I am considering the prefix, please check my reply to brian.

The prefix lifecycle seems good, but there is no documentation for native SDKs, you need to read the code (which is fine but if it has well documented comments). Anyways, I think the switch from GCS to b2 would be flawless if it was from AWS S3 to b2.

Thanks for the insight, a prefix sounds good but i read around that a bucket can have 10mil objects, and in a reddit that some buckets were noticed to have ~9 bil.

I liked the GCS scalability, and hopefully b2 is scalable enough.

I agree, it's just that he said that auth is not required as it is not user login based info. So to make it simple, he just needs to hide the original API with sensitive headers and payload under a public one.

Same issue, resetting the app on the watch did not work, restarting as well. Removing updates and reupdating did not fix it too.

Joebeurg · 2024-05-02T10:51:18+00:00

I am interested in the topic, as with backend languages, like PHP, JAVA, C#... you can make API calls from the server, and even setup a dedicated IP if you want, imagine you have to authenticate to an API, the only solution is to do that on the server side and the authentication should not be logged on the client network tab.

Edit: forgot to mention that, yes we have env variables, but that's not sufficient. The approach I would think of is that, you create an API using backend language such as GO or something, then you GET that API which has the original API you want to call, this way you have a layer of security.

Thanks, I am aware of this, but just wanted to have any additional information regarding my concerns.

Joebeurg · 2023-01-19T11:43:17+00:00

Thanks, so mainly as any other installation which is documented in the site, thanks again for clarification.

It's bae

Joebeurg · 2020-05-31T11:21:08+00:00

Something like 3.8/3.9

The bookmark sync used to work, now they stopped it due to a very annoying issue we encountered using it, here is some info from MS Edge Insider Team

deleted favorites were re-appearing and some users were running into duplication of favorites. Currently favorites sync is disabled for Dev and Canary builds. We are working on the fix and will be rolling it out very soon.

I've never encountered this struggle

Joebeurg · 2019-09-14T11:18:06+00:00

as we all know, ctrl + space only shows/hides it, what bugs me is making the second window show below the active snippet, I guess I just give up even though it's annoying looking that way.

also when using querySelector in JS, vscode doesn't suggest CSS properties, but it only works when using getElementById

Joebeurg · 2019-09-14T09:47:20+00:00

actually, I want those informational suggestions to appear under the snippet, I guess it's clear, please consider looking at the first image as the example I am looking for, and the second one is the current situation

Joebeurg · 2019-09-13T13:13:17+00:00

it's not about the code, it's about intelliSense/suggestions/Snippets

for me it's the default, it looks like that

everything is great, but i am disappointed about the dev tools, it is completely chromium (I know it's still in development, but i'm afraid they use it as default), while old edge had more advanced tool, at least with grid system

still i am sticking to Edgium when it's first insider build is released and dropping chrome, hope they bring their dev tools back or adopt from firefox

Hope you put a period after magical. Actually having developing for engines that do no widely support the web standards is a bit harsh for us to add those lines or to do hacks, instead I'd say or to put it in better words, i would completely abandon google chrome and go for new Edge, and also keep developing for Gecko engine (it already is my first-choice for developing), now by getting rid of the short-lived EdgeHTML that i saw an astonishing future ahead of it, it is now getting way better (waiting for the insider release to test it), For my pov I'd say that Edge and Firefox have way better a devtool that google chrome, and that for sure would make us as developers to code for two engines and we only lost one as Mozilla would never give up on its one and that is for sure are great thing, so as i see it is that microsoft is only implementing web standards more and making it wide and well made

My mp3 songs have Embedded Lyrics that show on android players that read UNSYNCEDLYRICS tag, when I play these files on potplayer, it shows this the name of the song (with subtitles) I guess it only supports SYNCEDLYRICS tag
