Replace /journal with tags

There's unfortunately still an issue when a post has too many tags and is viewed on mobile: the tags can overflow, see TODO.

 Here’s a [little poem](https://stacker.news/items/621774) I wrote while I was in Nashville for the Bitcoin Circlejerk 2024. I came up with it because I felt a little lost, as I often do around people, but this time I felt especially lost because I had to walk home in the dark for an hour, and my phone’s battery was almost dead. My VISA card was declined by Uber for no apparent reason.

 Every time I feel like I should save something encrypted—especially because my [NixOS installation is not using FDE](https://nixos.wiki/wiki/Full_Disk_Encryption), but that's a story for another day—, I realize I have no idea how to do this except that it should be possible with `openssl` which is quite embarrassing as the founder of ~crypto and ~security.

 With my first flight lessons getting closer, I keep thinking about what my first takeoff will be like. Going down the runway at full throttle for the first time, I'll probably already feel like I'm about to die.
