The telegram integration has improved my workflow so much that, my bookmark count now increases by double digits every day. So much information to read-process-journal-discard. The unread count is at 7242.

Improving backup strategy

Both Google one and iCloud seem to be offering 200GB of storage(inclusive of phone backups) at ~ ₹200. But if you want to be self-reliant without being locked into their ecosystem, Amazon S3 Glacier Instant Retrieval storage seems a viable option for storing backups on the cloud. I wrote backup-scripts, a python script to explore uploading images to s3.

Pin-tweet

I deployed the PR changes, I noticed that in case of failure due to timeout, there is no message to the user in case of failure to bookmark. Fixed that in PR #11 and migrated from node-fetch to axios in PR #10. After adding telegram, I'm preferring the bot over the Pinkt app since it is just a one step process of bookmarking links.

StackOverflow

I wrote answers to a couple of questions on StackOverflow.

• How can use the .count() method in mongoose to count multiple collections
• Undefined when searching with Find Mongoose Express
