[03:11] schestowitz I still don't think they add anything substantial, seeing their output. For now I've decided to just release html, not text or raw.

[03:18] schestowitz I've just had a go at it, bit it has no output argument and I cannot find any output file. standard output is empty.

[03:20] schestowitz I asked about this in IRC. One thing we can do is delete local storage of older files and other things I can do include attaching older external drives (4tb each).
[03:20] schestowitz I still have not properly assembled the raspi.

[21:53] schestowitz Those are periodically being deleted from my machines, but they're just slice from the very large log files that I keep for xchat.
