The new @Fedora Discussion forum is about 99% @teamsilverblue-related. I understand to some extent why Silverblue is interesting, but it's not like "regular" Fedora is horrible and this is some kind of software savior.

I believe in what @neovim is doing, but I use Gvim at least half the time, and Neovim's GUI story isn't very clear

I forgot to mention that I run 64-bit Vim in Windows. And yes, I will die on this hill.

I replaced Vim 8.0 with 8.1 on my Windows 10 PC. That's the kind of renegade I am.

So we are going to #AvengersEndGame at 8:30 on Sunday. That's a.m., people.

I now have a successfully upgraded OpenBSD 6.5 system, but it should have been easier. Selecting upgrade after running install65.fs and miniroot65.fs from a USB drive left me with 6.4. I had to download and copy a 6.5 bsd.rd into my / and use that to boot and install.

After a kernel panic yesterday, today I hooked up the OpenBSD 6.4 drive and my HP Pavilion g6 laptop booted with no trouble. Time for the 6.5 upgrade.

Even though I used it a few days ago, yesterday my OpenBSD 6.4 laptop wouldn't boot. I wanted to upgrade to 6.5, but a kernel panic is getting in the way.

I am slowly and deliberately creating a second web site in the Google Cloud. This will be a replacement for my social-updates blog, which currently lives on shared hosting. I will then probably move my main blog to the Google Cloud. So much for being wary of Google, right?

Honestly, what drove me to Vim for news writing/editing was the inability of Notepad++ to allow the editing of macros. Also, macros are mysterious and brittle in Geany. Plus I wanted to use the same editor in Windows, Linux and BSD.

I finally got my Git-Gatsby.js situation figured out. I needed to install Git on Windows so it worked not just in Git Bash but also in CMD and PowerShell.

To run @gatsbyjs in Windows, you need to be in the Git Bash shell, not CMD or PowerShell -- "How to get started" tutorial doesn't mention this

It's not a good look for Node that when you install the LTS on Windows that you end up with the wrong (and incompatible) version of NPM and have to use this fix to make it right: https://www.npmjs.com/package/npm-windows-upgrade
