If you’re like me, from time-to-time you’ll come across tasks that should be done in the terminal. But as you’re not very familiar with it, you wince a bit, and then just paste whatever they say, and hope for the best. The guide might also assume you know a bunch of concepts, that you don’t really understand. Like, why do some commands start with $?
WordPress Export to Markdown is a CLI tool (a Node script) that helps you migrate from WordPress to a static site generator (like Eleventy, for example)
I’ve been pretty much living in org-mode for 6 or 7 years now1. It’s my exocortex, second brain, second mind, mind palace, pensive, and personal knowledge management system2. The features and tools I use as well as how I organize my files has changed quite a bit over this period of time and I thought it would be nice give myself (and anyone else who cares) a reference of what it was like in 2023 so here it is.

While I haven’t had much time over the last year or so to spend actually writing code for DiSo, I’ve been really interested in the new direction Tantek has been taking things with his DiSo 2.0 concepts. Many of the early
efforts in DiSo were focused just on how to move social data around the web (data formats, protocols, authentication
mechanisms, etc). Tantek is taking a slightly different approach to this by first emphasizing the importance of data
ownership. It’s not enough to simply pull in a copy of your content from social networks into your local
repository. In order to truly own your data, the original should be on your site, and then copies pushed out to
whatever social networks, with links pointing back to the original where appropriate. It may sound like a purely
academic distinction, but it’s the difference between sharecropping and homesteading.
