* If someone else is wondering about a few edits happening which '''show a difference of few bytes negative''' in the '''Recent Changes''', but when you click the '''diff it says that there is no difference''': I was naturally worried when I saw the first occurrence of this and asked around in #mediawiki and the explanation is that around [[Mediawiki]] version 1.10 the line termination characters were reformed and thus these weird edits can happen when someone edits an article in a way that replaces the old line termination character with the new, shorter, ones and then Recent Changes sees a difference in the size, but the diff does not look at '''<u>how</u> the lines are terminated''' and concludes that nothing has been changed.

* I'm soon going to set up ssh agent forwarding as [http://www.unixwiz.net/techtips/ssh-agent-forwarding.html explained very clearly here]. This allows for fully automated backupping procedures that can be run regularly by a cronjob on my local machine if I also set up [https://www.funtoo.org/Keychain keychain] while avoiding the perils of having non-passphrase-protected keys on any servers.
