Big @debian security update today for the #Chromium browser https://www.debian.org/security/2019/dsa-4575
I have been running Debian Stable on this laptop for more than 3 months, and it has been a lovely experience. The relentless pace of updates in Windows 10 and Fedora drove me to it.
I love how I'm automatically running Debian 10.2, and all I had to do is keep up with regular apt update/upgrades. Check /etc/debian_version to see what you are running.
Canadian jazz guitarist Ed Bickert dies at 86 https://ottawacitizen.com/entertainment/jazzblog/rip-ed-bickert
I am installing my first Flatpak application from Flathub, and it is taking a long time. Maybe the second one goes more quickly. https://flathub.org
The state of Java IDE packaging in Linux is not so good. Netbeans and Eclipse didn't even make it into Debian Buster, and the Netbeans in Sid is version 10 when I want 11. Ubuntu also packages Netbeans 10. I can't figure out anything for Ubuntu 19.10.
I still think the M.2 NVMe SSD is the tech MVP of the late 2010s. It's a total game-changer in terms of desktop/laptop performance. I now can't stand using PCs with magnetic hard drives.

Social updates, or why this site exists and how it works
This site is dedicated to social-media-style updates. For longer pieces, see my main blog. In this microblog, I am using a command-line script written in Ruby to feed this site and my Fediverse account on Mastodon.
No databases were harmed in the making of this web site
You're seeing this blog, powered by Ode, through the magic of the Perl programming language and the Common Gateway Interface. Also involved: the Apache web server and Linux operating system.
The Ode project website has been down for some time, but you can find what's left of the user base at Gitter.
Ode does not use a database to store content. Instead, every entry exists on the web server as a "flat" text file.
Counter: Thanks to Rob Reed for the Ode system that runs this blog as well as his help on the Counter addin that provides the post-count feature seen above.
What happened to the Ode project?
I don't really know.

I'd be lying if I didn't say I wanted to move this service to a Hugo blog, or just keep it on an Activity Pub site that I run. I'm looking into both of these options.
