"The word “fired” has multiple meanings. One is “to have your employment terminated.” The second is “to be set on fire.” Either might apply." #n4sa2e #footnote

The second edition of "Networking for Systems Administrators" is open for sponsorships! If I get 21 more print sponsors I'll do another challenge coin. I'm pushing to ship this Q1 of 2025, so act quick. #sysadmin

And in #Germany it took a Natural Disaster with a triple digit bodycount for #CellBroadcast to be reactivated per legal mandate and #2G to remain online...

The fact that Telstra was unable to say how many devices roamed their Network should be seen as criminal incompetence cuz asking something like: "How many foreign devices are #roaming in your network?" is a standard #FAQ I'd expect them to put into their public financial reports - even as a #footnote re: #revenue [i.e. total devices, total revenue, average Calls / SMS / data per roaming device] cuz that's standard #metrics every #Telco & #ISP does create anyway...

<a href="#foo>foo</a> still nets me #foo as a tag. Okay, this is gonna be a bit more difficult, and I might have to patch WriteFreely, because I really don't want to do some really weird dance to avoid it becoming a tag.

Or I could just ignore it, and live with a superfluous tag. I mean, the links are rendered properly, as links, pointing where they should be, with no extra classes of formatting done to them. It's just the post, when returned via the API, will have #footnote listed among the tags, and searching my blog for other posts tagged as such, will return a list of posts that have footnotes.

Maybe the easier thing would be to patch WriteFreely to enable proper footnotes in whatever markdown transformer it uses? Or switch to Postfreely or something that has a CommonMark parser?

But I don't want to switch to a fork.
