gollark: Backups are to a 5-year-old 1TB laptop disk because I cannot be bothered to order a new actual NAS disk and they're quite hard to attain now anyway.
gollark: If stuff comes up in the wrong order it breaks horribly, but it somehow always avoids doing that.
gollark: I have a custom 500-line Python script which works as a webserver, HTTP client for 5 different things, and an IRC bot simultaneously.
gollark: Even the dynamic DNS thing, which just `curl`s every 5 minutes to a specific URL, broke for a few hours until I fixed it by... restarting it? And I have no idea why.
gollark: None of my setup is simple or unambigious.
