Yesterday, I wanted to quickly post something on my blog when I realized that my blog generating process was broken after upgrading to Debian 13.
So I had to analyze the situation, got lost in my complex shell script hell and decided to merge it into one single script without lots of dated stuff.
Next I realized that one of my own libs has a minor issue with Python 3 strings: had to migrate to raw strings to get rid of very valid warnings.

As Trump and the West play games with Ukrainian lives by withholding long range missiles, Ukraine is developing its own.
Meanwhile, Russia continues to increase the ferocity and quantity of its attacks, killing more Ukrainian civilians with each passing night.

Putin's Russia should return to Ukraine its stolen lands and its stolen children, and pay reparations to families for lives lost and property destroyed.
Naturally Trump is against all this, on principle. He doesn't believe in paying bills.
