  • I don’t have time to start another major FOSS project. I don’t have time to start another major FOSS project. I don’t have time to start another major FOSS project.

  • Okay. Caching problems fixed. Unclear if the blog post formatting issue is fixed though. Hoping that excerpts will show with a link to the post when it’s not a micro post 🤞
