It looks like the simplest & long-term easiest thing for me to make a generated static website is going to be a makefile running page bodies through docutils & feeding the results into templates written in m4 macros.

reST is mature & unlikely to change, but make & m4 are in posix, which means they'll stay the same for the rest of my life as long as I avoid GNU extensions.

so much for lightweight markup 

py36-rst2html5 on a year-old Celeron Braswell CPU: 1.05 seconds.

py36-rst2html5 on a 10-year-old Core 2 Quad Kentsfield CPU: 0.55 seconds.

Same OS, same version, same input file, just different hardware. ... Wat.

Every iPhone & Apple Watch in the hospital was disabled by an MRI machine, but Android phones & traditional PCs were unaffected. The cause: helium. Yes, a slightly helium-rich atmosphere. reddit.com/r/sysadmin/comments

Hot take: masculinity can be positive and good and maleness is not inherently toxic
