Today was archiving day, zipping up all the old projects and libraries hardly ever used.
ended up with about 14G of zipped (actually .tar.gz seeing as now on linuks) and the corresponding unachived folders removed.
OK, better do backups:
internal manual full system shadow drive: 25 seconds
external drive (also full file system) X 2: about 45 seconds each (including plug/unplug)
once upon a time I thought burning to DVD was fast (would have been a few disks for that)
once upon a time I thought external hard disks were really fast (on winduze)
I love my SSD's and USB 3.1 [running on an o/s that knows what it's doing], anything else is just a joke.

Tell that to my colleague whose 6 month old laptop has just suffered severe bit rot in its SSD.
When I asked if he had a backup he put his head in his hands...

Over the last 30+ years, I've had a few HDDs fail on me, as well. One lasted less than six months.
SSDs may be proof against mechanical problems, but that doesn't mean that they are totally reliable; no technology developed by humans is. Anyone who doesn't keep multiple copies of important data is asking (begging) for trouble.

Nah, they are using twitter. 
Common sense is admitting there is cause and effect and that you can exert some control over what you understand.

Encrypted .html sounds pretty innovative!

I can think of a couple of sites that should be encrypted!
Or as a bare minimum would be better scrambled...

Of course!
It's distributed under P.I.T.A. an open source wide license terms.
As far as I know all the reviews claim it makes the encryption job pretty well...
They are still improving the decryption process and this is the reason they ask for some bitcoins to help...

I'd like to blanket reject everything that is under PITA, if that's not too much trouble?

Not at all!
You can always replace P.I.T.A. with P.I.T.B.!
Like in the P.I.T.A. license you will only have to pay a bitcoin fee to decrypt the data, the difference with this other license type is that here you will never know if they will encrypt your data again... I tell you it is a strange license type.

His invisible username is a bug in the system. I believe that Chris and co will get around to it as soon as they possibly can.

Ain't "encryptor" and "open source" kind of a contradiction ? I mean, ok, pgp and stuff, but still... If you know how it is encrypted... It helps decrypt it.
