+Chores and housekeeping.
+
+----
+
+After deciding to skip Fedora 37, I decided to jump on the Fedora 38 wagon
+early.
+It was generally a smooth process, leaving aside the broken GRUB configs.
+I *am* getting pretty good at diagnosing boot sequence issues though.
+
+Note to future self: schedule 1 hour of downtime when upgrading the host OS.
+
+----
+
+A couple weeks ago I also updated my Sourcehut instance.
+In part it was to mitigate a `git(1)` vulnerability.
+*(Let this be the reminder you need to always use `--` to mark positional
+arguments, especially when executing user input.)*
+I also wanted to make the jump towards Alpine 3.17, now that the upstream
+project has opened support for that release.
+
+As always, migrating Alpine instances is a flawless experience.
+
+I had momentarily thought it would be a good idea to update the PostgreSQL
+cluster backing the instance.
+Luckily I came to my senses not long after.
+I should look into this eventually though.
+
+----
+
+I have put dozens of hours into my Wiki these last several weeks.
+Articles about programs now consistently refer to them with the `man` page
+section (i.e. `awk(1)`).
+Additionally, 'See also' sections have been added with links to
+{Arch,{Free,Open}BSD} `man` pages, reference documents, and other Wikis.
+
+I standardized all of my articles about
+[SAS](wiki.dominic-ricottone.com/SAS),
+[SPSS](wiki.dominic-ricottone.com/SPSS), and
+[Stata](wiki.dominic-ricottone.com/Stata).
+I'm starting to stub out articles for R based on them.
+
+I've made significant headway with populating my Wiki articles about
+[shell](wiki.dominic-ricottone.com/Shell),
+[bash](wiki.dominic-ricottone.com/Bash),
+[Docker](wiki.dominic-ricottone.com/Docker),
+[Podman](wiki.dominic-ricottone.com/Podman), and
+[python](wiki.dominic-ricottone.com/Python).
+The last one in particular has much work left.
+Once that is complete, I'll look towards
+[JavaScript](wiki.dominic-ricottone.com/JavaScript) and
+[Node](wiki.dominic-ricottone.com/Node),
+since there's so much overlap there.
+I also consistently need to lookup the references for quick-and-dirty web
+programming, so I think it will be a solid investment of time.
