Published my May retrospective
Continued working on RAIDZ1 to RAIDZ2 post
Worked on a post about a security vulnerability

Refactoring English

Continued working on Release Announcements chapter
Added support for pre-ordering directly on my website
- Previously, pre-ordering was only available through Kickstarter, which was a bit more friction than I wanted

PicoShare is a minimalist web-based file sharing tool I’m working on. I’m often frustrated that I can’t just send someone a link directly to a file because every file-sharing service tries to re-encode images/video or wrap their own viewer around other files, so I’m making a simple self-hostable tool that lets you upload files and share them with other people.

Refactored the shared secret package
Finished overhauling my SQLite table structure
- The new schema uses strict tables and constraint checks
Removed the download count from the main file view
- It’s too expensive to calculate for all files at once
Added times to the delete test to match the new SQLite constraints

Misc

Updated my ZFS encrypted backup scripts to use more portable shell shebangs
Added a cleanup script for my ZFS encrypted backup scripts
