I think the @RedHat people involved in @CentOS Stream know it's a marathon and not a sprint. Stream needs time to prove its value. For one thing, it's great to have such a detailed peek at future RHEL.
If for some reason you haven't migrated your @CentOS Linux 8 system to CentOS Stream 8, @AlmaLinux, @rocky_linux or other, now is the time.

The problem with podcasts is that I don't commute anymore
I'm not sure how I stumbled upon the @esquire newsletter, but there's some great writing there.

In my DSL rewiring project, I successfully crimped CAT5 wire to RJ11 connectors on both ends. I started to crimp the RG6, but I couldn't get it tight. I think my wire-stripping technique is not quite right. I'll try again tomorrow.

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.
