If blkar has been useful to you and maybe even saved your data in some cases, consider adding your use case to this wiki as reference for others. If you've written an article/blog/etc about blkar, you are welcome to add your link to the wiki as well (opening an issue first would be nicer since I'm not sure where to place these items yet).
