Mailman3 deployed to production
Originally posted on mastodon.technology.
The "soon" in "#Wikimedia will upgrade to #Mailman3 soon" has finally arrived!
https://lists.wikimedia.org/postorius/lists/
We'll start migrating lists in a few days, some more details at: https://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/wikitech-l/2021-April/094459.html (hopefully one of the last pipermail links I share)
Shoutout to @ladsgroup for instigating this and really driving it forward!

Couldn't find a #btrfs snapshot backup tool that I liked so I just wrote my own: https://crates.io/crates/fridge-backup
It automatically takes daily snapshots and then you copy them to external drives, that's it. (Automatic cleanup is a TODO)
Also, you should put your butter in the fridge so it doesn't go bad.

#Mailman3 for #Wikimedia is ready for testing, see the announcement from @ladsgroup and myself: https://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/wikitech-l/2021-March/094382.html
Hopefully a step forward in making Wikimedia mailing lists more accessible.
Debugging go templates
Originally posted on mastodon.technology.
I spent a good amount of last week debugging go templates and finally discovered today you need to end the {{ template name }} block with a period so the variable context is passed through.
I was going to complain that making a period at the end crucial to the meaning was stupid and then I remembered that's how English works.
