I now have 4 Debian Stable systems: A 2017 HP laptop, a 2011 Mac desktop, and 2 Raspberry Pi Zero W boards

This is my first time "successfully" running blogPoster with Ruby 2.7, and the script is generating a couple of warnings about calling methods in a way that is now deprecated. I'll have to see if I can figure out what's happening. https://github.com/passthejoe/blogPoster
