@dans you’re not exactly a prolific poster. Maybe post a bit more; be more frivolous if that sounds like a burden. And see what happens!
@suetanvil @stevelord good plan yes. I do a monthly rsync to one of a pair of external drives that live out of my house. My setup is (somewhat) documented here fwiw https://jmtd.net/computing/nas/
@suetanvil @stevelord I was super nervous moving from rdiff-backup (kinda similar to rsync + a pile of shell) to Borg, especially the repo complexity, but it was worth it. In particular I can move large file trees around without triggering enormous deltas.
@stevelord @suetanvil i recently learned that the road from Borg 1 to 2 is not straight and put restic in my “to consider” pile when the time comes. But it seems we will keep Borg1 in Debian alongside 2 at least for a while
@Anarcat even that blog post’s solution loses the static part. I hope to retain that but move to some self hosted engine that handles submission, approvals, filtering and perhaps stuff like WebMentions.
@Anarcat Fascinating idea. I'm planning on ditching Ikiwiki's native comments, but I'm not sure which way I'm going. Top of my list to try is <https://lobste.rs/s/byail8/static_html_comments>.

I signed up for the "Bring Back Blogging" project (https://bringback.blog/), verified I was added to their list and… I've dropped off it now, no idea why, no contact from them, and no obvious way to flag it. Shrug. Shame
Today I learned some things about building and testing x86 on amd64. Especially test suites that invoke docker containers, and how that handles (or not) the situation
I got a “thank you” email today for a toy thing I built and released many years ago. It’s a lovely feeling and I guess doesn’t happen enough. I will pay it forward 2x
They should reissue wetrix on switch. I buy it in a heartbeat https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wetrix
@darth_mall @vkc @thomasfuchs for me, the big issue (still!) with CD ripping is verifying the rip. The cdparanoia approach is high confidence, slow rip, but no guarantee it is correct. Support for AccurateRip (best available solution imho) is still not common enough in FOSS rippers
I’ve been after a decent hex editor for a long time and I think ImHex could be it!

@highvoltage so it goes! thanks to you and anyone else who worked on getting it back up
