@twilio @twiliohelp Most of our programmable messaging is sending SMS to ourselves.

While we're at it:
This challenge/response workflow applies to email: you could FINALLY add the email twiml verb.

Pika Backup is a new Linux GTK frontend for the borg backup tool:

You can store github repos in your rsync.net account by running 'git' over SSH:
rsync.net/resources/howto/gi…
There is support for LFS as well as credential stores for private repos.
You're a cron job away from immutable, independent backups of your git assets.
