  • Abortion is the big ticket item and the headline isn’t wrong but it’s also more than that- it would’ve basically given the Ohio Republican Party power for decades. They already illegally gerrymander, etc. and this would’ve made them even more unaccountable.

    • Current rules- 44 counties to get signatures, 10 day cure period to gather more if you fall short, 50+% to pass.
    • Proposed rules- 5% from ALL 88 counties, no cure period, 60% to pass.

    Essentially, grassroots initiatives already have a high hurdle and this would’ve made them effectively impossible. Only big moneyed interests could ever get anything on the ballot again.

    Very, very happy it failed.




  • I went with dokuwiki forever ago. Super stupid simple single container to run (no DB) and writes down to plain text files. I sync it with git every now and then.

    My only gripe about it is the dokuwiki syntax and not using normal markdown. I do now have a plugin for that but it’s still just ok. But at this point I might be too engrossed in it to ever really switch. But other than that it works well, is lightweight, has other plugins (email, mermaid flow charts, etc. etc.) and really is pretty maintenance-free.

    If there is some better one that is accessible via a browser and doesn’t require a DB then I’d be interested.
