      That looks like a very good set of resources, I still don't like #2,Git.
      
      It is still my nemesis...
      
      Maybe I should find some training at some point.

         @geniusmusing I find #git to be too big and complex for my needs (and arguably for most projects). I know it “won” and even some projects that formerly used another #VCS ( such as Mercurial #hg, #darcs, Bazaar #bzr / Breezy #brz ) are switching.
         
         In the plans: a very limited #Kallithea install (with git and Mercurial) and #Fossil for Federati ... when I have more funds and energy to devote to getting it going on its own VPS.

            @geniusmusing When I say “limited” I mean limited membership and a cap on storage space, so that it doesn’t need some sort of fundraising to maintain.
            
            I was already thinking about trying to get some sort of cloud-based encrypted backup for all the other sites (instead of the current process of plugging an external HDD into my laptop), so I can automate the process, but once I’m not travelling (logging in from hotels), I can automate it from my end and build something like https://battlepenguin.com/tech/video/build-a-small-form-factor-storage-server-nas/ to store them on. #battlepenguin #NAS
            
            Note: everything I’ve read about #tarsnap sounds good, but a person who recently spent over a year off work is best off limiting their repeating payments.
