Next, more chat about backup-bot-two¹, our reluctantly-built (but handy!) Docker volume backup script.
There was energy to cut a new release (the latest published version is behind a few nice additions) — including a bugfix that one person at kite-flying ran into — and a brief chat about restore testing, kicked off by an @autonomic member who mentioned they're "using backupbot across 20-30 servers" 🤯

Finally, we talked about if there's anything Co-op Cloud can do to help sysadmins meet each other and start building the immense trust needed to share access to each other's systems to help each other out. Personally, a huge project goal for Co-op Cloud has been reducing sysadmin sadness, and there are certainly a lot of capable and trustworthy people in our orbit… the pieces are maybe there. Folks talked about "growth at the rate of trust" (starting small and building from there), end-to-end encryption as a means of reducing the trust needed in the first place, and backup-storage as a means of low-trust mutual aid.
