I’m blogging again, I guess

Am I getting my blogging voice back? Time will tell. But two things are true and are worth noting:

1. I am grateful for the kind words of support and earnest inquiries for more information I’ve gotten over the years and to this day. I also appreciate those of you who take time to read my posts and make comments.
2. Universalist Christianity — or anything worth having — won’t prosper in the walled (and manipulated) gardens of corporate social networks. I’ve been able to speak freely over the years because I have this little patch on a server that I pay for myself, and some 22 years of posts may be found here. (Try that on Facebook.)

   To that end, and if you know how, you can also read the posts here by subscribing to the RSS feed or by subscribing to @admin @https://www.revscottwells.com [remove the space] through one of the distributed Mastodon nodes. (I think that’s right.) I don’t advertise and don’t worry about site hits, so read this as you want.

If you do want to help me, link to my site here, or refer people over. Thanks.

Can anyone recommend good, active #Ukraine accounts?

We have an answer: security camera. But what browser is that? #Debian

@HankB Nope, back at the station and it's just the same.

@waldoj I'm committed to eighth-inch earphones, so the airlines keep me in just enough cheap but satisfactory ones for daily use. Favorite: the powder blue set from SAS.

@HankB I think it's the next-trains indicator. You can see the old one in the background.

I don't use this station very often, so perhaps it's just being installed.

And #XFCE, I see from the comfort of my subway car.

@notjustbikes Just a heads up that Baltimore repealed the fire codes which pushed back our complete streets roll-out.

On top of that, we also made them buy smaller trucks. Here's the link: https://www.wbaltv.com/article/baltimore-city-council-votes-to-change-city-fire-code/22668053

@admin

That last post should be https://www.revscottwells.com/2024/01/01/dual-affiliation/ of course.

I know a lot of you are going, "no, not Dumbledore!" but I went back to watch the last scene of The Cook, The Thief, His Wife and Her Lover instead.

@NinthWave oh, thank you

Airbus open sourced their new cockpit font. Make it the default for all your embedded projects, because it's REALLY good and has real testing in difficult environments!

@krusynth Hubs and I rode it on my birthday last year and saved money for the Scott's Addition brewpubs. (Scott's Addition alas thus also including my waist.)

@krusynth I hope you can ride the BRT together then.
