A user on that thread suggests an alternate solution, adding `PYTHONIOENCODING=utf-8` to `/etc/environment`. Python docs say that affects stdin/out/err. But we also use these environment variables elsewhere to ensure that config files we read/write are opened with UTF8 too. Maybe all that can be simplified too.
Refactor by moving the email-the-admin code out of the status checks and into a new separate tool.
This is why I suppressed non-error output of the backups last commit - so it doesn't send a daily email.
