  "textContent": "I'm familiar with the idea of \"social bookmarking\", a practice where one could use a service like\n[del.icio.us][1] to capture things and links that they've found interesting. I used to have\nsomething similar on my own website prior my \"reset\" earlier in July, which was helpful. I could\nlook up a particular link, if I couldn't recall the title. I'm also one of those folks who'd use\ntheir browser's bookmarking function to keep track of things like that — relying on history\nalone wasn't enough as I tend to clear it.\n\nFor this site, the process is a lot more manual. My former site was capable of syndicating whatever\nI posted here to places like BlueSky and Mastodon after I published it. In this case, I'll have to\nwrite it on my computer, deploy it (make it live on the Internet) and then post manually to my\nBlueSky and Mastodon accounts respectively. This is going to be a bit of a forcing function to help\nme determine what I want this process to look like. I'm in a good groove of development with Livtet\nwhich is freeing up a bit of thinking space to reconsider what I'm doing with this site. I still have\n[the same constraints I outlined][2] that I don't plan on changing, to keep my costs down.\n\nThe first link I've written was about [the right to strike from DISSENT magazine][3]! Let's see what else\nI can muster up; I have a lot in the backlog.\n\n[1]: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Delicious_(website)\n[2]: /essays/hard-reset/\n[3]: /links/2024/Aug/dissent-right-to-strike/",
