Ask HN: Codebases with great, easy to read code?
In past threads, people have mentioned enjoying my Tarsnap (https://github.com/Tarsnap/tarsnap) code. I personally think that the spiped (https://github.com/Tarsnap/spiped) code is even better.

I love the idea of tarsnap but a stable release hasn't been released since 2017. Is there a modern alternative, or is tarsnap actually still usable and secure?
I prefer Vorta myself ( https://github.com/borgbase/vorta ) as it also has incremental and encrypted backups, as well as being a fraction of the price, but tarsnap seems to still be in very-slow development: https://github.com/Tarsnap/tarsnap , so I'd say from a quick look it's still trustworthy.

What's your backup strategy?
Each server also upload their configs and « important » data (my mails and git repos) to tarsnap 3. Tarsnap storage is not as cheap as B2, so I try not to upload too much data there, but it's reliable and easy to use. It was also my first backup solution, and barely cost me 10$ a year so I keep it as a secondary backup.

GitMounter: A FUSE filesystem for Git repositories
The presented idea (one folder per commit, as FUSE fs) seems indeed largely impractical.
But there are good uses for mountable "git like" repos. For example for backup systems.

Any plans for kernel version in the future?
That's really good to hear! They got a (well deserved!) 100M investment recently. I didn't know it until recently, but apenwarr made some of my favourite tools (sshuttle, bup) and now tailscale! If you come across the podcast again, please post the link, I'd love to listen to it.
