How did I install that finicky piece of software last time

This. So much this. Every time I start a new project I’m so glad to have these notes to refer back to.

Daily notes. I have a template that prompts me to fill out a number details I might otherwise forget.

A wiki of people that helps me remember details about people I meet or have worked with. Makes it much easier to keep in touch and to remember important dates in their lives.

Sortable todo lists, with due date and urgency information. I can add to the lists directly from any other note using a Dataview formula with the Tasks extension.

Career plans. Project plans. Gardening plans. Recipes (there’s an awesome extension that imports recipes from the web).

Any random writing I might want to do, from short stories to rough drafts of letters to stream of consciousness mind spew that I want to review later.

I use the Auto Note Mover and Dataview extensions, along with backlinks and tags, to keep all of my notes organized automatically. I use the Linter extension to make sure things are formatted nicely. When I started using Obsidian, I used the Importer extension yo easily pull in all of my existing notes and lists from Evernote and Google Keep.

Honestly, that barely scratches the surface.

The biggest issue I had was with folder permissions on Android. I also ended up paying for the sync functionality and have zero regrets.

Good callout. We shouldn’t attribute intent, experience, or any other human characteristics, to software.

I have an older friend that has no idea that his laptop uses Windows. He just wants to be able to browse Craigslist for cars and junk. Seems like he has to get a new laptop every two years because his “old one got too slow”. I should do something like this for him. He’d never know the difference.

I hated it at first. Then I got pretty good at it and realized that I still hated it.

I may be stupid, but I want to learn.

Wanting to learn is the least stupid thing there is.

One of the best engineers I’ve worked with produced very little code at that point in his career. His primary responsibility was to do the research and planning that empowered the rest of the team to move quickly. Without a doubt, that team was far more productive due to his efforts. When needed, he could quickly whip out some top notch code, and he was heavy involved in the code review process. Writing code just wasn’t how he could deliver the most value.

I just want another Tecmo Bowl.

For anyone that uses lemmy on mobile, the Voyager app for lemmy supports filters in the settings. I’m not sure how complex the filters can be. I’ve just been adding individual terms to my filter list, and it works great.

Before I left Reddit, for some time it had started to feel like every comment thread would quickly devolve into a chain of “um actually”. So much so that I stopped commenting. I didn’t need the hit to the ego and I have no interest in getting into internet arguments. I haven’t had that experience here, and ir’s encouraged me to participate far more than I did there.

Not anymore.

Crap, i delete my first comment. Luckily i copied it right before, lol.

And once you control the bank account, just put a stop payment on all of the subscriptions. What are they gonna do, put a negative mark on your dead relative’s credit score?

Depends on the state and the type of debt. Have a mortgage? The bank will give the next of kin the opportunity to take over the payments. If they dont’t pay the mortgage, the bank will foreclose on the loan. But if Netflix comes after your kid for not paying your subscriotion fee after you die? They can fuck right off. At least, where I live.

Right now, Jellyfin is still too buggy and feature-poor for my tastes. I can’t imagine trying to convince my friends and family to use it instaed of Plex. Jellyfin shows a lot of promise though. Hopefully it won’t be too long before I’m comfotable making the switch. I suppose Plex might force my hand before that.

Precisely. I don’t want or use any of those features. I’ve disabled all the streaming service and friend stuff, I don’t ever use the watchlist, and I use Tautulli for watch history. I don’t even really care about watch history either. I mostly set up Tautulli because I like self-hosting stuff.

Depending on your router you can forward all request on port 53 to your DNS server regardless of the IP they try to use.

Sing along kids! Mr. Ghosty the Christmas troll…

What about 2 offsite and 1 onsite? That’s been my approach, mostly due to storage limitations onsite.
