Does anyone else maintain #changelog (s) for their #computer (s)?
I enter all configuration adjustments and #update (s) in a #markdown file for each machine.
This might seem like unnecessary extra work, but has paid off several times for the sake of traceability or #reproducibility in the past. 🤓 #musicproduction#linuxaudio
This week: Using paper for finance tracking has been invaluable for helping me understand the process, shaping my Markdown budget trackers into a text-based, hands-on envelope budgeting approach. Simple calculations mean I can take charge of my incomings and outgoings without a standard spreadsheet.
#Gitlab still doesn't support issue templates in #yaml, the way #Github and #Forgejo can. Only #Markdown, which is a lot less attractive. But #Github and #Gitlab can do label changes in the Kanban (project) view, which #Forgejo can't.
DEVONthink To Go 3.8.2 is here. It supports the PDF bookmarklet and no longer applies default styling to Markdown when you use your own CSS. The new version also shows fewer notifications, checks for broken file permissions, and improves VoiceOver support. #devonthinktogo#devonthink#pkm#markdown#css#voiceoverhttps://buff.ly/3yl1yyB
For my #Markdown nerds. I don't know when this was launched, but it showed up in my Snaps this morning.
'dumpspage is a Markdown note-taking web-app that is powered by markdown-it and CodeMirror. Simply create your note using that big ol’ button and you are ready to take some notes (no login required!).'
Perfect, the combination of playwright, trafilatura and scrapinghub extracts all the information I need from a webpage. My little #python project evolves nicely.
The screenshot shows the power of trafilatura. With a single statement it creates wonderful #markdown from any webpage it can extract content from. Extracting links, keeping the basic markup and structure, and dereference relative links.
Just got an e-mail from #storyblok informing me that one of their sub-processors (whatever that means) is now #OpenAI.
I immediately asked them if the content I created will be used in any way to train their #LLM and if so, I want no part in it. Requested a back-up of my data and to delete everything.
I used it for the first iteration of my blog but switched to #markdown a while ago.
TIL: with git redate -c <# OF COMMITS> you can change the commit date/time and messages of commits in your repo. However: make sure you do NOT include the very first commit or the command will fail. So if you have N commits in your repo, make sure that -c is always at least one lower than N.
New at #HaikuOS / #HaikuPorts, #KDE#markdown 23.08.5, a nice plugin that let's you preview your markdown files while editing them in #Kate (and others).
Was möchte man denn für Notizen verwenden, wenn man diese auf #Linux, #Android oder #Windows erstellen und bearbeiten möchte. Verteilt auf verschiedene Geräte sollen diese über #Syncthing werden.
One of the features I love in XCode is the sticky lines showing the class/method you've scrolled down in.
I love it so much I'm desperate to also have it in Android Studio, turns out it's coming in the next version! (Koala 2024.1.1)
Guess who's now using the canary release 😄
Can anyone recommend me a good Markdown editor? I can't seem to find anything that's based on some web engine, which tends to use its own font rendering.
Found a great little #markdown converter/viewer for the terminal: lowdown.
It's written in very portable (#BSD-friendly!) C with no dependencies (laughs in rustc crashing my pinebook, lol) I found it in the debian repos, which is a huge plus.
Super simple to use:
$ lowdown -T term myfile.md |less -r
I'm writing a longer (as it seems) article on the lock-in effect of solutions like #Obsidian that are using open formats like #Markdown for storage. The file format is not the only thing that might lock you in.
I did already start with a list of arguments but also want to collect your ideas so that I don't forget a good argument.
Please, no emotions, just facts and objective arguments.
Reply here in this thread and I'll collect ideas from it. 🙇
