la familia

November 16, 2018 — John Schuster

Hey friends, don't you think you better cool it down

you're always buying new computers and leaving #town

you know I like it being in the POWER family

wonder what would happen if nobody left

we'd all stick around if we'd all stick around

and here's a question that's been tested

tell me

if we use ppc macs would it make it any better

if we used an old mac would you be my friend forever

hey friend listen up they're playing our song

on anonradio do you have to go

you know I really like it these Altivec extensions

makes me want a little sugar in my mastodon mentions

it's like the glory days, it's like a fortune sold

so here's a question that's been tested

tell me

if we use ppc macs would it make it any better

if we used an old mac would you be my friend forever

let none of us forget about who we are

so choose an ISA and follow it

take the pill and swallow it

let none of forget about who we are

it's not forever we can fool around in the dark (ages of 32-bit computing)

More bb.sh troubleshooting

November 09, 2018 — John Schuster
after writing the last post I got this error in the terminal:

iconv: iconv_open(ascii//translit, utf-8): Invalid argument

this happens after I finish editing a post and bb.sh is processing it. Didn't occur when bb.sh was falling back to html posts, just after I got markdown working

update

after I read the manpage for iconv on the server and some online versions, the //translit flag doesn't work with the iconv on SDF. I removed that flag from the "ascii" output portion and the error no longer came up, and if you notice the filename of this post is now the title.

(and the '.' was removed from the title string as the above iconv call intended [sunglasses emoji])

Markdown is in the building!!

November 09, 2018 — John Schuster

That's right.

Turns out it was on the very first line of Markdown.pl:

#!/usr/bin/perl

is not where perl lives on SDF, that's /usr/pkg/bin/perl. edit one line and boom! bb.sh can now invoke Markdown.pl and I can write posts without annoying HTML tags.

Markdown: Now that's what I'm talkin' about
