Well, we made it another week.
The site still isn’t to where I need it. But it is functional. I have imported all of my posts from GFZ. This is a step forward.
I am in the process of writing a Vine Of Liberty plug-in to handle theming and some other missing features. The one that irks me the most is not having a quick link to the comments section of the page.
We’d like to hear what your thoughts are on the banner and icon. The Icon is likely to change, but Ally did an outstanding job getting the banner done. That was based on the prompt “Modern American patriot guarding a vine in a barren field”.
I’m starting to see the state file F.A.R.P. 28(j) letter, “Citation of Supplemental Authorities”. This is the official way that a party tells a circuit court that something happened that they need to consider before issuing their opinion.
The gist of most of them is, “the right secured by the Second Amendment is not unlimited”. Followed by “we are the exception to the rule(s)”.
I am slowly gaining a more in-depth understanding of how ceph works. It is an amazing file system.
It uses replication and I found that it also has “erase coding” capabilities. The erase coding capabilities allow you to reduce the amount of disk space required to achieve full redundancy. The default redundancy is via replication, that is a 3x multiplier. The lowest erase coding is a 2x multiplier and that gets as good as 1.5, when there are enough hosts and OSDs.
We are soliciting articles, you can send your word/LibreOffice articles to awa(at)vineofliberty.com.
Thanks for sticking with us.

thank YOU for sticking with us. it is a bit wonky to get to here but keeps knuckle draggers like me on our knuckles, eerrr, toes..
Your progress looks good, very good, and I am looking forward to what you have planned. I’m hoping Miguel will be contributing, his perspective is without an equal. I’ve looked for references to the Vine of Liberty, but so far have found nothing but references to the Tree of Liberty. So I take it Vine of Liberty originated with you Awa. So what is the back story to how the title came to be?
I can’t tell you what AWA thought when looking for a good name, but I can tell you what it made me think of. 🙂
The Tree of Liberty is that special Tree which requires occasional watering “…with the blood of patriots and tyrants…” (https://www.monticello.org/research-education/thomas-jefferson-encyclopedia/tree-liberty-quotation/). I see the Vine of Liberty as being that which grows around the base of the tree, warding off Bad Things. Think of the Native “three sisters” garden. Plant corn first, and when it starts to grow, plant beans. The beans weave up the corn stalks and so grow well and are easy to harvest. When the beans begin to weave upward, plant squash at the base. The hairy, prickly vines of the squash tend to keep animals away from the beans and corn, as well as protecting the squash itself. The vines are the protective part. So that’s what I think of, when I hear the Vine of Liberty. 🙂
