Flatpak apps in heavy rotation:
EasySSH (Do all your ssh sessions in one GUI) Foliate (eBook reader with books from https://standardebooks.org)
The Fedora Flatpak of LibreOffice keeps crashing in Silverblue 36. Fix is to replace with the Flathub Flatpak of LO.
Something in the latest @Fedora 36 update took care of the very rough scrolling in Gedit (which I still use instead of the new Gnome Text Editor due to Snippets and External Tools)
Updates today in @fedora (and @teamsilverblue) for Podman, NetworkManager and Vim
Standard Ebooks: Free and liberated ebooks, carefully produced for the true book lover. https://standardebooks.org/
Vim 9 is now in Fedora Silverblue (and, I assume, also Fedora Workstation)
Look at how @Debian does security announcements. Other distributions: Do it this way. https://lwn.net/Articles/899688/
You can get support for Debian beyond 5 years by paying for Extended LTS by Freexian https://deb.freexian.com/extended-lts/
Thanks to the @debian LTS team, all releases get 5 years of support. They are just now ending support for Debian 9 "Stretch" and beginning to support Debian 10 "Buster." https://wiki.debian.org/LTS/
Do you know about Milkman Sound amplifiers? These things look UNREAL. Expensive, but man do they look good. https://milkmansound.com/

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.
The Ode project website has been down for some time, but you can find what's left of the user base at Gitter.
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.
