After MANY months of consideration, and many MORE hours of work, I've finally migrated my website from WordPress to Hugo!

I'm still playing with settings, themes, etc, but so far I'm pretty happy with it. What finally pushed me to make the change was the new DigitalOcean App Platform, which was a breeze to use.

Check it out! (Website link + blog post about the change below)

Want to create a channel for personal use? It's surprisingly easy if you do it the hard way, and hard if you try to do it the easy way.

I want someone to make "karate kid: covid". He'd learn to defeat opponents with his mind only, no touching. And he'd train his mind by making bread. In the dough-jo.

This raises key questions: bundling (“vendoring”) and its implications, contemporary #FreeSoftware development practices and their impact on distro relevance, avoiding/resolving technical disputes, and more.

#Guix has answers to some issues but is otherwise in a situation similar to that of #Debian.

I just made a shitpost in a thread on the birdsite and was sure to provide citation and indicate omitted material in a quote with ellipses and I feel like that says a lot of what you ought to know about me.

I think my butt has a permanent dent now where my mask sits in my back pocket.

Latest chapter of 20020, the sequel to 17776, is fantastic.

Open Letter to Apache OpenOffice: Today marks 20 years since the source code to OpenOffice was released. And today we say, LibreOffice is clearly the future of the suite (see the timeline). Let's all get behind it, for the benefit of all users: blog.documentfoundation.org/bl

Thanks to everyone who supported wounded warriors today.

I'm happy to announce a project I've been working on for a while now:

#OpenCuts, the open crowdsourced user testing suite

open-cuts.org
gitlab.com/open-cuts

OPEN-CUTS is a web-tool to help #OpenSource communities with user testing! The goal is to allow even inexperienced users to easily report test results for new software releases. OPEN-CUTS then aggregates and compares the metadata across versions to identify regressions.

Yay, this week I spoke to official devs on the Ubuntu and Debian project and it seems my Aparapi Library will be in both mainline Debian and Ubuntu package managers soon!
