Giving credits to the programmers of
file-roller(1)

I'm really in a user interface mood right now. Only playing with the mouse meanwhile I'm making a backup of the long download of the massive multiplayer online role-playing game SWTOR

I mounted the source partition using thunar(1)
Then I physically mounted the drive in the tray where the destination was going to reside. After invoking file-roller I smoothly dragged the directory of SWTOR and dropped it into the Archiver which gave me the possibilities to make a tgz file of it and a dropdown where I could save tgz archive

Without lifting any more fingers than necessary I prepared the tape archive which would be gz compressed afterwards.

Since we're talking about a massive 56 GB it would take a while. As the progress bar slowly crept forward I did other things on other machines including Androids feeling content at the ease of which user interfaces bring sweet and smooth operations to us when we don't want to use any of our favorite shells

Aaaand that was the last bug, zoo now builds and runs also on NetBSD, I had 6.1.5 on a very old server ... and apparently nothing better to do today.

Now some minor cosmetics, changelog updating, and then release v2.11 in a day or so.

“We’re going so fast as a society that we don’t always realize what we’re leaving behind. We should pause to think about saving our digital materials. And a lot of video today isn’t even meant to last, things like security camera footage, a lot of what’s on YouTube. We’re producing more than ever, but we’re not taking care of it. A friend shows me a video of their kid taking their first steps, I think, ‘Oh, that’s not going to last.’”

Hi! I know, there are many out there, but this one is mine:

I wrote a #XKCD #archiver to download all or a specific range of XKCD comics. It is not really mighty yet but it works for me. If you want to download your portion of XKCD #comics, here is the Github link:

Have fun with it and if you discover a bug, please open a issue! 😊
