I remember hearing about that proposal and that it sounded tough to do - sorry you're having to deal with it 😅
https://github.com/mholt/archiver came to mind, but looks like it doesn't support the encryption side of things. Can you use one of the options from the proposal's thread?

One of the biggest sticking points of being a solo dev is maintaining motivation. I’ve been keeping a journal entry about how to hack my motivation, what works and what doesn’t. Here are the things that have worked. Convert external sources to motivation I’ve always known that I’m more extrinsically than intrinsically motivated, so I have a couple systems that help to give me bursts of external motivation. For example, the Money Bots, which pop up every time someone subscribes.

the problem with most folk discovering cool content and websites from their rss feeds is that i have adhd i had adhd 20 years ago too, but the web wasn't built so much to predate upon it, and my adhd is also just worse now that and websites didnt make me angry every day because developers didnt go out of their way to make everything awful

The Opening Act at Torment Nexus' Developer Conference This Year Was Unhinged
I found myself saying the following a few times during #CSSDay when chatting to people about blogging, so here it goes: If you want a blog but don’t believe you have anything to share, I suggest creating a monthly post of a roundup of articles you read and recommend. By the end of the year, you will have 12 blog posts. It gives you a list of everything you’ve learned. It is easily findable if you want to share it with others in conversation. Backlinks and webmentions build connections.

Thinking about how it might be best if we stopped using cutesy words like “enshittification” and instead use common words and phrases to describe what a company is truly doing when they ruin products.

Platform engineering and developer productivity initiatives are often focused on improving how a team works. But how do you advocate for your own growth?
The podcast episode of simplyblock's Cloud Commute features Chris Engelbert interviewing Anders Eknert. They discuss Anders' background and current role at Styra, the company behind the Open Policy Agent (OPA) project. Anders lives and works in Stockholm, Sweden, and has been involved with Styra for about three and a half years. He shares how his previous work led him to OPA due to a need for managing complex authorization requirements across diverse environments.Styra, founded by the creators of OPA, focuses entirely on the OPA ecosystem. They offer two main products: Styra DAS (Declarative Authorization Service) and an enterprise version of OPA. Styra DAS helps manage OPA at scale, providing a control plane for policy management, lifecycle, and auditing. The enterprise OPA offers enhanced performance, lower memory usage, and direct integrations with data sources.OPA itself is a policy engine that enables policies as code, allowing for decoupled and centralized policy management. Common use cases include authorization and infrastructure policies, where OPA acts as a layer between services to make policy decisions. The discussion highlights the importance of treating policy like any other code, allowing for testing, reviewing, and versioning.Chris and Anders also discuss the functionality of OPA from a developer's perspective, explaining how it integrates with services to enforce policies. They touch on the broader benefits of a unified policy management system and how OPA and Styra DAS facilitate this at scale, ensuring consistency and control across complex environments.If you have questions for Anders, you can find him here:Blog: https://www.eknert.com/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/anderseknertX/Twitter: https://twitter.com/anderseknertMastodon: https://hachyderm.io/GitHub: https://github.com/anderseknert/Styra and the Open Policy Agent can be found here:Styra Website: https://www.styra.com/Styra LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/company/styra/Styra X/Twitter: https://twitter.com/styraincOPA Website: https://www.openpolicyagent.org/OPA X/Twitter: https://twitter.com/openpolicyagentOPA GitHub: https://github.com/open-policy-agent/opaThe Cloud Commute Podcast is presented by simplyblock (https://www.simplyblock.io)
