I'm reading a book about the #Iliad on the #Kobo reader, and the stock font doesn't render the Greek parts right. Switching the font to Noto Sans, which was already on the device, fixed the issue.

I'm now using the #Nextcloud and Nextcloud Notes #Android apps to write, edit and share notes with the #Iotas notetaking app on my Linux desktop. So far, so good.

It's nice to hear from you. I recently resurrected my two Ode sites, and I just put some money in the meter at NearlyFreeSpeech.net so they are live again.

I remember doing some experiments with different web servers, but I don't remember at all if anybody figured out how to do all of the things that .htaccess does to redirect the .cgi urls on other web servers. And NFS is the only service I use now that runs Apache, so I've left the two sites on there. I was going to self-host them, but my ISP was making it a little too difficult security-wise.

I'm running a web server on a VPS that runs Caddy, which is so easy to get working that I almost always use it when I can. For the Ode sites, I moved them to the NFS generic domains so I wouldn't have to use NFS' DNS for my domains, or have to deal with figuring out the certificates. I should start a new VPS with Apache and see if I can move them over

For now I have:

https://passthejoeupdates.nfshost.com/ and https://stevenrosenberg.nfshost.com/blog/

I did fix my Ruby script that feeds the Updates blog (and my Mastodon account at https://ruby.social; it also works on Twitter, but I do not post there any more). I've done a few updates recently just to kick the tires, and I'm not super active these days on Mastodon or over on this snac server, but I try to keep a hand in.

I'll be interested to see what you are working on.

I tried #obsidian for the first time. There's a lot about it that I don't understand, and it's a #notetaking app. Does all that complication help people?

It reminds me of #logseq in that it seems to have a steep learning curve, and I don't know if it's worth it.
