Just always use .Permalink okay

@benbrown on hackers.town:

@randomgeek fyi, the content:encoded field of your rss feed has relative links and image urls, while the description feed has absolute links.

Now I remember why I got into the habit of always using .Permalink instead of .RelPermalink in Hugo. .Permalink includes host portion—https://randomgeekery.org/note/2025-08-21/—which is helpful in contexts like RSS feed generation. .RelPermalink gives a server-relative path like /note/2025-08-21/.

Haven’t really thought about it for a while, so I forgot why and eventually forgot the habit.

However you want to draw a cloud, it’s cool. It’s valid. The actual sky will one-up you for surrealism.
