la familia
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
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!!
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

Hello world! I've successfully installed and edited bb.sh if you are reading this.
