TIL about the -c flag in rsync, which skips files based on checksum. The big benefit to me is that it preserves modification times, making it easier to find what I’m looking for. They say it takes more processor time; I don’t care. Hope there are no gotchas.

Got to be a win all round.

Replied to a post on matigo.ca :

Just for fun I went to look at the four sites Jason linked to, the ones he thinks may be of no value. Each asked me to share my information with 119 vendors. I'm not going to do that. And spending on adverts is not going to deliver visitors either.

Always good, and this time, super pleased by the link to a chart of which glue to use when, and how.

Interesting and educational to read about Reilly’s bash script for writing a now post. I’m still in the metaphorical Dark Ages of having a template that I save in the right place under a new name with updated variables.
