I've been using it for a good while now, but figured it's worth a shoutout incase others don't know it. one of the few pieces of Go-ware I don't substantially hate.

I've previously slapped together a tiny set of shellscripts for my use of it which you're welcome to steal from. also recently seen backupninja as something that can use this, but haven't tried that

huh, this looks like a great alternative to rsync.net (which I evaluated at one point but didn’t end up using and I can’t remember why), and it led me to discover rclone, which looks like it’ll let me use a number of cloud drives for restic backups or general rsync-like file transfers (and it seems to have recent Proton Drive support, which solves a very specific problem I was looking for an answer to)
