I used Caveman2's project maker and it adds packages, systems, exports Etc. with
strings. I changes how they were called here by replacing the string-quotes with
'#:'. It annoys me how Emacs indents/aligns the system and package stuff in a
wonky way when you don't use '#:'. I finally had fed-up with it and changed
it. Overall, this is a minor change.
This package grabs disk information from the OS -- and can display it in human
readable form. Looking to create a 'Disk Info.' section on the dashboard page to
help users decide when they need to start deleting snapshot data or move to a
machine with a bigger disk.
At the time of this commit, no features have been implemented yet.
copy-directory is a package on quicklisp to copy files using the OS's native cp
command (useful for taking snapshots/back-ups of directories). The snapshot
package is for copying directories (I.E. taking snapshots) in /storage and the
site's DB.
I copied most of this over from my personal website's repository. So, there are
bits of code which look a bit out of place in this context. With that said, the
code does run and just needs to be integrated in the defroutes in web.lisp.
I was getting errors when trying to quickload the system because a
custom djula filter (defined in view.lisp) couldn't find one of the
specific ritherdon-archive packages/files. I can't remember which one
because I made the change earlier in the day and didn't commit the
change at the time.
This is a rough sketching out of what the model/data needs to look
like. This model is what will be connecting the site's archive (Nic's
artwork entries) with the Meilisearch service -- running alongside
each other. I don't know how much this model is going to change but
expect it to in future commits.
nera is responsible for the database stuff which is not part of
Caveman2. The status-codes package is a list of constants representing
the various HTTP status codes -- with an explanation of what they are for.

The reason for using this is because it makes it easier to run the
website as a standalone thing. You don't need to link it up to
Quicklisp's /local-project directory. It has scripts to help you build
the binaries and to run the website (as a standalone) thing. I, also,
hadn't use this 'cookie cutter' program before so it's a good time to
get my feet wet.
I'm going to try this with Python and Django first. Because it's not
my personal project, it might be better to use a language which is
more mainstream. It should reduce the 'Bus Factor'.
