I ve been using Pyblosxom here for nearly 17 years, but have become
increasingly dissatisfied with having to write HTML instead of
Markdown.
Today I looked at upgrading my web server and discovered that
Pyblosxom was removed from Debian after Debian 10, presumably because
it wasn t updated for Python 3.
I keep hearing about Jekyll as a static site generator for blogs, so I
finally investigated how to use that and how to convert my existing
entries. Fortunately it supports both HTML and Markdown (and probably
other) input formats, so this was mostly a matter of converting
metadata.
I have my own crappy script for drafting, publishing, and listing
blog entries, which also needed a bit of work to update, but that is
now done.
If all has gone to plan, you should be seeing just one new entry in
the feed but all permalinks to older entries still working.

Some notable fixes which were made in LTS during the month of November include the gnutls28 cryptographic library and the freerdp2 Remote Desktop Protocol client/server implementation. The gnutls28 update was prepared by LTS contributor Markus Koschany and dealt with a timing attack which could be used to compromise a cryptographic system, while the freerdp2 update was prepared by LTS contributor Tobias Frost and is the result of work spanning 3 months to deal with dozens of vulnerabilities.
In addition to the many ordinary LTS tasks which were completed (CVE triage, patch backports, package updates, etc), there were several contributions by LTS contributors for the benefit of Debian stable and old-stable releases, as well as for the benefit of upstream projects. LTS contributor Abhijith PA uploaded an update of the puma package to unstable in order to fix a vulnerability in that package while LTS contributor Thosten Alteholz sponsored an upload to unstable of libde265 and himself made corresponding uploads of libde265 to Debian stable and old-stable. LTS contributor Bastien Roucari s developed patches for vulnerabilities in zbar and audiofile which were then provided to the respective upstream projects. Updates to packages in Debian stable were made by Markus Koschany to deal with security vulnerabilities and by Chris Lamb to deal with some non-security bugs.
As always, the LTS strives to provide high quality updates to packages under the direct purview of the LTS team while also rendering assistance to maintainers, the stable security team, and upstream developers whenever practical.
What's new in the Linux kernel. Apologies for the poor audio quality; I will use a different microphone if I do this again.
