init to begin it
Wheee. An initial test post. Doing this with BSSG, the static site generator run right from the command line. I’m posting straight from a remote session, too, so learned a little bit about compiling and installing dependencies local to my account. That was cool, and nothing I ever had to do before1.
Should I be setting textwidth on this file? Nah I’ll YOLO it and see how it handles wrapping. Who knows, maybe this’ll be responsive out the box. But I’m typing right in my shell account, in vim, with default settings not wrapping, no textwidth set yoooooooo this is 250+ characters into line 16 of this file. Madness.
Anyway. What substantial things should I say in this thing? I have spaces to write elsewhere. My primary social media these days is Mastodon, where I’m on infosec.exchange. I also have a space on the associated WriteFreely server. And then my own site, Threatc.at. I recently wrote some things on tilde.pink, but tucked in a corner with gopher and gemini, under the username rveeblefetzer. Lately, though, I’ve been spending a lot of time on this tilde, so maybe it makes more sense to write here. Which is why I set up BSSG – to do everything more or less from the bash prompt.
Eh. let’s see if this posts up and goes live.
I was able to find the ebook for “Practical UNIX and Internet Security” by Simon Garifnkel, spaf and Alan Schwartz in my library app, but I got frustrated trying to find anything on installing programs in a user’s home directory, whether by searching or using the index, the latter of which is so unfriendly that it’s actually user-antagonistic. Unexpectedly, though, the book as a whole looks like something I actually just want to read straight through. Maybe just as an actual physical book.↩︎
