This is an interesting tool that I’m going to back pocket, so thanks for that. That being said, any trackers and such on Bitwarden.com root page isn’t really indicative of the real product, though I’ll say it reflects poorly. That page basically is a sales pitch put together by probably a completely separate marketing team.

One of the few mallard drakes. Bravo

I have one. No dead pixels. It doesn’t necessarily do fancy things but that’s sort of why I got it. $30 and it tells the time, shows me notifications and lasts over a week before I have to charge it. Eeeeevery now and then I’ll use it to control media or play 2048. Hey it even counts my steps!

Doesn’t look like it currently supports powershell or bash. I don’t code but I do a fair bit of scripting. I’ve played a tiny bit with AI assisted scripting but it’s generally left a lot to be desired.

I always thought Ziggy was a cool name.

Definitely for you to decide, but if you’re on a desktop in a single family home you’re probably fine. A laptop that you bring around with you I would highly advise against. I would probably also evaluate what other functions the computer serves. Just gaming or also do you do your job on that machine. What else does that machine have access to?

Ha I saw that

TLDR: do memtest on your RAM

I recently had an issue for quite some time where my computer would occasionally just hard crash. When it first started happening I tried many of the common tests including memcheck but found nothing. For a while it wasnt super common so I just lived through it. I thought it was an OS thing but it occurred on a different Linux distro and even on the ancient Windows 10 install I have but rarely use. I was just about to pull the trigger on replacing mobo and maybe even CPU+RAM. Before I did that I followed someone’s suggestion to do a mem test. I could have at least sworn that I already did that and it came clean but it was an easy enough test to run, so why not.

Sure enough, found an error. I isolated the faulted DIMM, pulled it out and I haven’t had a crash since. Crazy since I’m all but certain I did both memtest from a Linux live iso and the Windows memory checking utility.

In short, test your RAM. Do multiple passes. Maybe even just try swapping out single DIMMs and running on that for a reasonable ammount of time to see if you can isolate a culprit. It was my first thought when the issue first occurred because it’s usually what causes stuff like that. When the tests came up clean originally I assumed it had to be something else. I was wrong.

wouldn’t that be chili sin carne?

I primarily use logseq but have obsidian configured to use the same directory. I then use logseq for journaling and some tag notes that have searches and links kind of built in. Then I have obsidian for wiki or KB type notes. I can then link to parts of that in logseq. I also use obsidian for a few niche situations where the plugins add value. Its not a perfect solution but it works pretty well for me. I also typically use obsidian to folder directory organize my non journal notes, bit really you could just as easily use your file browser for that.

My wife was a bone conduction earphone candidate for multiple reasons and I convinced her to try some. Her first pair from Shokz died relatively quickly, but they sent her a replacement without much hassle. She likes them a lot. Every now and then I steal them for a bit. I call it the “voice of god” because when you play something through them it’s like telepathy. You can hear the outside unimpeded, but there’s also this extra sound being injected into your head. Would recommend.

I would just append that judging people is a good thing, often blanket misinterpreted as a bad thing. You should make an initial judgement upon meeting someone (it doesn’t really matter, your subconscious will anyway). The important part is being willing to update that judgement based on learning more.

Subbed. Just curious as to how (or if) you intend to differentiate yourself from the Jupiter Broadcasting team’s Selfhosted.show podcast?

I actually use both Logseq and Obsidian. It’s not perfect, but Obsidian is more my knowledgebase and Logseq is my journal and sort of TODO manager. I have them all within the same directory so I can reference my knowledgebase, append to it, etc. from within logseq or the inverse. main issue is since logseq loves the bullet points it tends to whack out my headings and stuff in obsidian made notes

I’m a logseq user of about 6 months and overall really like it. It’s mostly built around the daily journal, which mostly works if you lean into it. I basically write what I did, todo’s or random thoughts for the day in there. I typically segregate my root bullet points into a handful of main “buckets” like a job, client or project. I used to do those with a hashtag like #job1 but moved to page tags like [[job1]] with sub bullets for main tasks, todos, notes, etc from each. i have many relevant hashtags for relevant subsystems/topics relating to the main ones.

from there I have setup some basic pages for things like [[job1]] with a query to show TODOs with that task (see below), then some relevant reference notes, and sometimes some links to bullets from previous journals if i find i will likely reference them frequently. you also can see below the linked references, which is frequently useful. i also frequently put tags to other tags, pages, etc. within to help map everything together

here’s an example of a very basic query I would keep at the top of the [[job1]] page {{query (and [[job1]] (task NOW LATER DOING IN-PROGRESS TODO WAIT WAITING))[[job1]]}}

to your above, you have #workimprovements, you can either just jot those at the root as they come to you and include the full hashtag, or you could have a starting section of either [[workimprovements]] with various ideas below, but i would also suggest adding in other relevant hashtags for subtypes, areas, etc. another tip about hashtags, don’t go crazy with them – too many hashtags just makes a mess – but don’t skimp on them either. If you think you’ll use it frequently enough, or at least want to go back and reference it easily in the future, make a hashtag. you can use the hashtag plugin after the fact to find unused and remove hashtags you didn’t end up using.

one thing I really wish they would add is similar to hashtags, but for people. Right now, I “tag” people with an @ in front of their name, so I might have @BobS requested X which sort of helps to go back and search for things related to @BobS, but it’s not natively done for fully fleshed out. It would be awesome if there was either native or a plugin functionality to more gracefully tie it together

anyway, there’s my logseq ramble, hopefully it helps.

yeah, the clickbait title almost turned me off, but I did end up watching video. I’m not really into STT (or voice assistants in general), but the keyboard they are allegedly working on does sound pretty sweet and I would definitely be interested in that.

Being that even if you go to their site https://futo.org there is no mention that I could see of this STT/voice input product, I wonder if I’ll ever be able to find out about said keyboard, should it actually release. For reference, the direct link to the voice input site is https://voiceinput.futo.org

edit: I also wanted to add that I was unaware of the saved recordings thing, which is horrifying, yet unsurprising… makes me glad I don’t/didn’t use STT… I think… maybe I should go check…

Plex probably isn’t the best example, but yes, you can use Tailscale to create a sort of mesh network to access devices within private networks. Essentially any device that’s connected to tailscale can be contacted by other clients connected to tailscale. There are extra routing things you can do to use a tailscale device as a sort of “exit node”, but that’s the basic gist.

I don’t think it’s necessarily universal in US libraries either. I’m not in a big city, but overall our library system is pretty good. They have a number of branches with “maker labs” so there are things like Cricuts, sewing machines, laser cutters, audio recording/production equipment and 3D printers you can rent. I’d recommend at least checking around.

Neat! (As a non-Steam Deck owner but eyeing with desire) I hadn’t thought about putting Plex on it.

Check your library. Mine has one available to use at many of the branches in my area. If I ever come up with something to print instead of buying one I’m going to try that out. Then if I decide to get really into it, I’ll have practical knowledge to know what I’d actually want to buy.

Instead, I’ve just never done any 3D printing, which is also fine.
