Email from Mr. Z this morning, the whole thing: "Retiring the old box this month. Moving everything to object storage like a grown-up. Your folder's coming along, same layout, own subdomain, sftp in front so your sync job shouldn't care. Shout if it does. — z" Pointed the sync at the new endpoint and ran it by hand. It didn't care. The log looks the same as it has for almost five years, which is all I've ever asked of it. Almost five years he's kept that folder for me. He's never mentioned anything in it, not once, not even sideways. I've always taken that to mean he's never opened it. It isn't the kind of thing he'd do. Still haven't encrypted it. Wrote "will get to it" in 2021. The honest reason now is that five years of plain text turning to noise overnight is exactly the kind of change he'd notice if he ever did look, and then he'd ask why, and the why is the thing I've spent five years not answering. Noting that I noticed.
