finally got daily backups setup on awoo.space loading into s3! thanks @nolan now we won't crash and burn if the rug gets ripped out from under us

i modified his script a fair amount, if anyone wants to see it it's over here:

@vahnj Awesome! Happy to merge these changes and give you credit. :D

@vahnj Oh heh looks like you made lots of changes, including adding S3 uploads. ^_^;; I'm not using S3, so I think I may just not merge, but link to your fork instead. Nice work!

@nolan to be fair it can still be used exactly like yours! if you don't upload to S3, it doesn't clean up the generated file and functions exactly the same way as before.

@vahnj Ah, that's good to know! :) Let's just make a full GitHub repo out of this then. I'll write up a quick README. Thanks!

@nolan Yeah! If I wasn't lazy I'd port it over to using an actual argparser haha

@vahnj Hmmm actually on second thought let's just keep things as-is. It's a short script, and adding a GitHub repo means it lives in 3 places instead of 2. Also I have enough GitHub repos, don't want to overcommit on supporting this thing. 🙃

Forks are great! Let's have forks. 😊
