I broke

something

Not sure what.

Perhaps WSL + Homebrew + Flatpak was not my greatest idea.

Neat. I can’t even shut WSL down.

I am good

Rebooting the Windows host did the trick.

Now back to figuring out why flatpak thinks TLS support is unavailable.

Ah, Flatpak thinks TLS support is unavailable because I am supposed to be running it as root.

I am a very smart computer professional.

And of course the punchline, Flatpak can be installed on WSL2, can install software on WSL2, but cannot run that software on WSL2. Or maybe it can, but would require more fiddliness than I am prepared for today.

Can’t get an error message if the system’s powered down.

How do I do ssh-agent in Windows — oh hang on I wrote a post about that a couple years ago.

Surprisingly painless, actually!

Trying an experiment with Pandoc, Obsidian, and a recent mostly-EPUB bundle from Humble Bundle.

Maybe just a little post-processing needed.

Obsidian note showing the contents of the book “Ethics 101” and an outline view in the sidebar with lots of raw HTML
