@evan Too early to tell. I looked back at 2020, and the field wasn't as big as I thought.

I'm sure a couple of the 2020 hopefuls will be back (Buttigieg for sure, maybe Harris, unlikely Klobuchar and Warren) ... and Harris has never won a primary or caucus, so I don't expect her to be a factor.

Other than that, it'll be "new" people -- lots of governors and senators, maybe AOC .. should be a very interesting time.

@evan Bernie was frozen out in 2016 and 2020, and he's likely too old now, but the time is right for a progressive.

@evan It's gonna be a cattle call

#Bluefin is a great way to do Atomic #Fedora and #GNOME. I've been daily driving for a couple of weeks, and it's solid https://projectbluefin.io/

I have two VPSes in the Oracle Cloud free tier.

If I worshiped MAGA and billionaires, I'd be in the right place.

So it's time to let them go.

I thought about moving back to NearlyFreeSpeech.net, but for now I have my sites set up on my Tilde Club account:

https://tilde.club/~passthejoe/zola

https://tilde.club/~passthejoe/hugo/

https://tilde.club/~passthejoe/shinobi/feed.xml

With this arrangement, the hosting is still free (though I have donated in the past and will do again). Also, I don't have to maintain anything.

To successfully add extensions to Ungoogled Chromium with the Chromium Web Store, you must be in developer mode. That isn't mentioned in the brief notes under chrome://ungoogled-first-run/

I still subscribe to A WHOLE LOT of Debian mailing lists, and between this neverending discourse — with a lot of automated messages on project changes — and the ability to track just about everything on the web and with email, the radical openness of the project is one of its biggest strengths.

That and technical excellence.

I'm running my OpenBSD laptop all the time right now. I'd like to get started with the 20+ desktop how-to posts I'm planning.

I also broke my foot.

While I can't move around, I can't sync the user files in the OpenBSD system with my Debian desktop (via Syncthing) and back to my Fedora disk on the laptop, so that's a big reason to stay in OpenBSD.

#OpenBSD #Syncthing

While I realize that other text editors exist, I can't see myself leaving #Vim

Another reason I don't feel great about using Firefox is that I just got another fund-raising email from Mozilla. It doesn't say "Corporation" or "Foundation." Just "Mozilla."

They are asking for contributions because $3.55M in federal funding is "currently at risk."

Again, for the nth time, MOZILLA CORPORATION HAS HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS FROM GOOGLE. USE THAT MONEY.

Mozilla Corporation should fully fund Mozilla Foundation.

I don't want to say most of the Zola themes haven't updated their code so RSS feeds work. I will just leave it at "many."

I found the problem and (sort of) the solution, but I am at odds as to how to fix it myself.

I tried to fix one theme per this Github issue but it didn't work. I'm just a new Zola user -- I haven't seen enough templates just yet.

Here's what I'm looking for in a Zola theme:

* At least some post links appear on the home page
* Archive/blog page with all posts
* Tag and category pages
* RSS works (atom.xml is OK)
* Not too busy or overly geeky (as in markdown format SHOWING in heds). Clean.

I like Fedora Silverblue and find it of very high quality and stability, but I'd like something atomic and slower to update.

Maybe weekly instead of daily.

Of course I could CHOOSE to update weekly, and everything works work just fine.

It's a very flexible system in that regard.

Only slightly related: I spent some time working on C programming. I used Geany and Vim in a Toolbox
