Added bip39-boot / pithosian-bip39; a minimal, UEFI bootable interactive TUI for generating BIP39 mnemonics from (optionally skew-corrected) coinflips, preferably on airgapped devices. BIP39 mnemonics are usually used for Bitcoin wallets (that's what they were designed for), but you get a hierarchical, deterministic wallet of private keys from them which can be useful for people who don't use Bitcoin, too.

Added a new 'Archival' article (which turned into a bit of a treatise on why optical isn't/shouldn't be dead), a guestbook post from beaniepines (love their site, go check it out), and made a fix to the claws/i2pmail article (I dropped '-mail' from the pgpinline package name, thanks to Cat with Hat on the Bitcoin discord for pointing out the error!).

Thanks for the comments on my site updates. I've written a post related to the most recent comment you made. I felt it was an interesting topic so instead of letting it rot in neocities comments I made it more accessible. I have quoted your comment in the post, let me know if you'd like to be referenced in the post or removed altogether.

Wrote Git Bundles section in Git article, with scripts for 'piling' a base bundle, followed by a chain of incremental bundles into a local repository, as well as a demo script for Git Bundles (which is also a practical example of most of the other stuff previously covered in the article).

Added snapshotting helper script for stopping a program, updating a BTRFS snapshot of its state, and starting it back up again. Designed with Bitcoin Nodes in mind, to prevent reindexes and coindb rebuilds after poorly timed power outages and similar, but usable for any program.

Of course, Neocities has chosen to display the little 'easter egg' for people querying random paths on the onionnet instances of the site looking for vulnerabilities. ':D
