Installing some OpenBSD ports. Since not a lot of effort is put into building macppc binary packages, I'm having to build from source.

Before I forget, one of my favorite things I picked up at TFCon this past weekend was Skybound's "Transformers Book One", which is a hardcover compilation of the first twelve issues of the Image Comics reboot.

Man, those questions were REALLY bad.
AI "will end humanity" vs. "is more important than fire"? Howzabout "after the hype cycle dies, it will be useful in some cases, and people will get on with their lives"?
My first pass (before I realized I could skip a few) had me allied with Peter Thiel!

At that point, the site was up and I could subscribe to the newsletter from my various Fediverse services (Mastodon, PixelFed).
Unfortunately, I was NOT able to bridge it to Bluesky like I do those other services. @ap.brid.gy & @ghost.org - please get together and figure out how to do this.

Spent more time than expected upgrading an older SQLite-based Ghost instance to 6.0 running on MySQL (now that SQLite support is deprecated). Enabled the Fediverse functionality, with a local ActivityPub server in the process.
