Hi all, here’s my first ever mechanical board for work! Very excited to wave goodbye to the current horrendous membrane keyboard that sits in my office. I’m already planning to swap the linear Reds for a silent tactile, currently looking at the Durock Shrimps - given how much this already cost me, that will wait a bit…...
Ooo, I really like those keycaps. Fun colors! I wish I had my function and misc keys memorized - I’m stuck with labeled keycaps so I know where F10, Insert, and all that stuff is.
In early April I started using Personal Kanban (visualize your work; limit WIP) and I went from thinking I was an unambitious and boring person to realizing I wasn’t giving myself enough credit for all the things I want to do! Being able to see the entire backlog of large and small projects was overwhelming at first, but also a lesson in - what do I really prioritize that’s important to me?
So, if I didn’t have to work to support myself, I’d spend more time with all my personal projects. This includes, but isn’t limited to:
building a perfume oil database website
scanning all of my baby photos
scanning all my written journals
writing in and organizing my wiki
publishing my wiki online
creating photo zines from my phone photos
reviewing all of my perfume oil collection
making a lot of linoleum carvings for letterboxes
and ofc playing games, watching movies, and listening to music!
I am trying to set up my own server for movies/tv with all the bells and whistles to make it the most streaming service like where I can browse and have automatically torrented and downloaded for viewing. I am new to all of it so a guide would be really helpful....
I run a fairly comprehensive suite of *Arr apps off a Synology DS923+ and it was somewhat straightforward to set up. Note that there's some setting with the 923 that doesn't make it optimal for Plex and people prefer the 920 - I run Plex off an Nvidia Shield so that didn't matter to me.
I wrote up a step-by-step installation guide for myself, mostly for reference / any future times I might need to make changes. tossed the PDF here in case you'd like to reference, though it's a little out of date atm because I need to switch from Mullvad to ProtonVPN for port forwarding (which you can ignore if you don't care about port forwarding): https://mega.nz/file/9pISRSqB#w_I-6gI8Ga2u_rvTGqTezmIk_-fxnmHfAr1FapFNpEM
Most of the guide was built using these two folks' articles as reference:
Glad to help! If you end up referencing my PDF and have any questions, feel free to shoot me a message.
Re: port forwarding, if you don’t have it, it’s kinda like a one-way mirror? Your torrent client can look out through the mirror, but no one can look in, and you’ll only be able to connect with other torrent clients that have a clear window - because your client can see them through the glass and send them a request to connect, and their connection is transparent so they can accept the message. So if there’s a lot of other people out there with one-way mirrors also, you can’t connect to them b/c you can’t see them and vice versa.
Port forwarding is basically setting your client up with a clear window instead of a mirror - it’ll be able to accept both incoming requests and make outgoing requests, increasing the number of other people you can connect to. Increased connections means more likely to find people on torrents with small amounts of seeders, and I think increased download speeds too.
I have a number of individual notes for various books I've read, with a YAML field for "author." This works great with Dataview, except when there are multiple authors of a book. I assumed I could just add another YAML line "author: Sample Author" to add the second author, but then Dataview does not return results for either...
Just mentioning to cover all the bases: you'll want to make sure you're using the correct multi-value YAML syntax in your front-matter when you include multiple authors (eg. single line or multi line array). I like using the Linter plugin to help me out with this.
# single-line array
author: [Sam Jones, Mary Apple]
# multi-line array
author:
- Sam Jones
- Mary Apple
Once you have something like the above, using flatten should enable returning results for either author; with one test file in my vault, this worked for me:
TABLE WITHOUT ID
link(file.link, title) as "Title", author FROM #books FLATTEN author WHERE author = "Sam Jones"
Oh man. Controls are one of those things that really click with some people and not with others. The jump mechanic in Jusant was the most frustrating thing about it for me; I couldn't figure out which way you're actually supposed to move the stick - towards where you need to jump? away from it? and judging the timing on double-jumping was impossible for me. there's a spot in the demo that forces you to double-jump to continue and I was stuck attempting that jump 3 or 4 times.
otherwise, I thought it was a neat demo and the pure climbing bits were really nice (I wish they'd been longer, really). the writing was a bit confusing to start, but if it continues following one "narrator" then I can see it developing into an interesting story. I expect I'll play through the whole thing once it's out!
I found this note combination feature request but it doesn’t look like any plugin or native solution exists? From reading the thread, possibly you could make your document with all the transclusions then export as markdown which should then pull the transcluded content in. There’s also this short thread but it seemed focused on pulling entire notes in; not sure if that’s what you want or not.
Edit: and this is why I shouldn't research things on my phone! Obsidian doesn't have a native markdown exporter, just to PDF... there's "Obsidian Enhancing Export" plugin, and "Obsidian Markdown Export" plugin. and a paid plugin.
Oh, interesting. I didn't know about this TPM requirement; looks like my CPU does support it, but it's not turned on in BIOS. Hope you're right though and W10 does get its support lifetime extended.

nice! funny enough budding ornithologists' title is a reference to a song off his first mixtape. milo's only a bit older than me and I discovered his music when I was in college, so I'm mostly familiar with his first two albums (I Wish My Brother Rob Was Here and Milo Takes Baths). they definitely have that sort of early twenties angst (which really resonated with me at the time) which has matured throughout his discography I think.
ironically, as of writing it has not self-destructed for... 37 months, 7 days, 9 hours, and 32 minutes, but this is a cool project. like most of the people who have heard of this, i heard about it at the peak of COVID. it seems it found quite a niche.
eyyyy, this site! occasionally I’ll go on and click through for a bit; I have a file where I save any messages that strike me, whether for the point of view, the story, or the emotion. Definitely way more “if you see this add your name” copypastas now than in 2020 though.
There's a ton of issues with the UI I want to address and there's a number of things I want to experiment such as how communities are subscribed to, so I started writing a new UI in SvelteKit. I also have Capacitor setup which would allow this to triple as a native iOS and Android application....
Cool! I’ve used Svelte a little bit for a personal project, but I’m more on the programming hobby side vs pro dev side so not sure what help I’d be. Will bookmark and keep in mind though!
I know there's already a few posts about how people listen to, or discover new music, but I wanted to see how other people get their music. Do you buy CDs or vinyl? Digital downloads? Use streaming services? Something else? And why?...
Ohhhh, I knew port forwarding affected torrenting, but I didn't think about how it would affect Soulseek. I'll have to get that set up as it's my primary music source since W.CD died.
