I've a nightly cronjob that runs backup using rsync for my local, and an external HDD that I stash in my work locker that I bring home once a week or so to connect to the server, run a backup script (more rsync), then take it back to work. It's not super sophisticated, but it works, and I have tested and restored from both the local and offsite backups.

I feel like by the time Trump and Elon and the project 2025 gang have finished having their way with the government there won't be any demand for COBOL or FORTRAN. It'll all have been burned down to the ground.

Edit: Fixed twatboy's name.

Nice work!!

Agree. Make it as easy to read as possible. I learned this particularly after I had written a script that had a lot of nesting. It worked initially, but not for long and when I went back to debug I was like, "What the fuck was I thinking here?"

I ended up completely rewriting it to minimize the nesting and make it much more efficient and readable

That's fantastic. I'm not using it that deeply yet. I do have other scripts for managing my media files and adding them to my server as I rip music and DVDs. I also am loving learning it and using it.

I do! This is the recipe I use. Though I often add spices to the dough (paprika, chili powder, onion powder, garlic powder, I don’t measure, but I’d say about a TBSP of each)

Thank you!

I'll watch out for that. Thanks for the heads up.

Oh goodness, this looks incredibly useful. Thank you!

Thanks!

Honestly, it didn't even occur to me to consider induction. It's not because I'm pro-gas/anti-induction. The precious range was gas and my thought process went, "fuck I gotta buy a new range how much is this shit gonna cost me since I can barely afford to exist as it is in this fucked up nation (USA), let's go to big box hardware store website and see how big a hoke a new gas range will burn in my pocket."

Thank you!
