It is almost 6pm here. What should I do?

  • Work on that $HELL_PROJECT for $MEGACORP?
  • Take a nap?
  • Go run some errands? Like buying chicken for dinner?
  • Work on my home-made backup script?

This is not a poll, because I am going to take a nap anyway.

@ParadeGrotesque at least you didn't call me young whippersnapper, cause young I ain't... 😄

@ParadeGrotesque aha, so that's always been completely redundant.

So now I take offense. 😂

@fedops

You are probably much younger than me anyway.

Whippersnapper! 😂

You two, put aside your Zimmer frames, you could do each other some damage.

@ParadeGrotesque I think he's an Olde Phart[™] as well.

Get off my lawn!

@ParadeGrotesque huh. 10 years to retirement. And that's not even French retirement.

There, now you're crying. 😄

@fedops

Funny thing is French retirement is not what it used to be, and I also have 10+ years to go before enjoying it.

So there.

You, whippersnapper. 😂

@ParadeGrotesque homemade backup scripts are NEVER the answer! At least use someone else's homemade backup script.

ParadeGrotesque,
@ParadeGrotesque@mastodon.sdf.org avatar

@DrHyde

I already do! And I lovingly wrapped it into my own little shell script that sends me the full backup report.

But I want to improve it a little bit.

DrHyde,
@DrHyde@fosstodon.org avatar

@ParadeGrotesque out of interest, which one do you use? I use #rsnapshot, which was someone else's backup script until I took over maintenance, but I have now handed it on to a new victim^Wvolunteer. Not sure it would be my first choice for backups this decade though.

@ParadeGrotesque@mastodon.sdf.org avatar

@DrHyde

AH! I use rsnapshot, so YOU are to BLAME!!! 🤣

DrHyde,
@DrHyde@fosstodon.org avatar

@ParadeGrotesque it wasn't me, I wasn't there, you can't prove anything, and anyway a bigger boy made me do it!

@ParadeGrotesque@mastodon.sdf.org avatar

@DrHyde

Embrace the suckiness, coward! 🤣

More seriously, thanks for a job well done, I like it and it works fairly well. 👍

ParadeGrotesque,
@ParadeGrotesque@mastodon.sdf.org avatar

@DrHyde

Just updated rsnapshot to version 1.4.5 - I will test later. 😉
