Does anyone actually like websites that mess with scrolling like that?

My response to one person was “If you couldn’t take the time to write it, what makes you think I’m going to take the time to read it.”

The creator of this image is Julia Evans. She’s awesome. She’s also really active on Mastodon @b0rk@jvns.ca and has a bot that posts a bunch of images similar to this one @b0rk_reruns@jvns.ca. She also sells bigger, more in-depth zines at wizardzines.com. I don’t know her personally, just think she’s great. Both of those mastodon accounts are worth following IMO.

I actually use rclone. It’s kind of rsync++, so only copies differences. It also handles the encryption for me. I think I have it running about every 5 minutes on that server. Most of the time it only runs for a few seconds to verify that nothing has changed.

For personal projects, I work on my main laptop and have a remote set to my server which runs in my garage. I push changes from my laptop there. That server gets backed up to a S3 like cloud storage bucket. The backups are all encrypted on my server before going to the cloud.

All you would have to add is the off-site backup from your laptop. If you want to share your code on Github, Codeberg, GitLab, etc. you can just add additional remotes in git and the push will go to all of them.

I think Codeberg is only appropriate for FOSS projects. If your project is FOSS, it’s probably great, if not, maybe GitLab?

If you trust the site, curl | sh is no worse than any other install method. If you don’t trust the site, it’s also no worse.
