I installed Distrobox on my Debian 11 system by downloading the latest release and running the install script. Then I used apt to add podman, and now I'm ready to run containers in Debian. https://github.com/89luca89/distrobox/releases/tag/1.4.2.1

As a desktop system, I couldn't ask for better performance that I'm getting from Debian Stable
Today I couldn't get the Vivaldi browser to work without continually, intermittently freezing. I can't keep waiting to click things.
The Debian security patch on libde265 rolled onto my system already. I appreciate Debian's focus on security and LWN's posting of advisories so we know what's happening. https://lwn.net/Articles/923130/
I need to learn how to write a script that takes every file in a directory and its subdirectories, does some regex-type changes, and writes the new files to a new directory.

I haven't used LibreOffice Writer in a long time, and I have to say I'm enjoying it. Once I zoomed in to make the text bigger, I was good to go.
This post is brought to you by my blogPoster app. It uses the Twitter API, which will no longer be free in a few days. It's a Ruby script coded by and for one person (me). Luckily it still posts to Mastodon and my own microblog. https://github.com/passthejoe/blogPoster

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.

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.
