I’d be curious of tips from anyone on how they use to manage notes when there’s lots of media like images.

@nickanderson@fosstodon.org avatar

@joshourisman @petrillic @greg I use org attach for images. Some documents I org-attach-use-inheritance otherwise it creates an ID on the node if necessary and stores the file based on that.

Currently I have 57M' of .org files in ~/org. That's 5005' files and 1205964' lines of text, the largest single file is 1.3M' and the longest lined file has 26370' lines. 4835' are inside org-roam, the majority (`3655') are "dailies".

Hey org-mode users, what export options have you found are best for ultimately getting into google docs (where you are adding on to an existing doc, not uploading net new)? I usually export to odt, then copy paste, but, it's always trashy. Lots of weird extra white space and bullet points that aren't handled well and need manual cleaning. Humm, maybe I need to re-train myself to export to html and copy paste that. On this last test, that seemed to produce much better result.

Put my org-mode files back under git about a month ago. Enough time for a quick gource. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8A52ZXPhJFk

Checkout AIPIKHAL (Ai prompts I know and love) intro that shows using org-mode to manage a collection of llm prompts for gptel inside emacs.

Tangling to remote files is nifty.

MMMM writing some CFEngine policy in org-mode for Episode 35 of The Agent is In, one of my favorite things to do.

Hey people, as it seems fashionable here to humblebrag by posting screenshots of graphs: What exactly are the benefits of a graph view? Aren't bi-directional links just simpler and thus more effective?

I'm genuinely interested, so educate me, please.

nickanderson,
@nickanderson@fosstodon.org avatar

@ledaj @gisiger I have yet to use the graph in org-roam-ui for anything beyond entertainment and a general birds eye view of clusters of related things. I share because it might encourage someone to try emacs org-mode. I do think that it could be a fun and useful way for someone else to access my notes.

Are many people running the emacs 30 apk on android?

@evgandr @dekkzz76 yeah, that's why I carry a keyboard to connect to my phone.🤓

@hajovonta @evgandr @dekkzz76 I use emacs via termux and it really does work quite well, provided a real keyboard. It's a bit tedious using on screen.

Wow. I guess I was wrong when I said that we have well and truly enough #Obsidian how-to tutorials out there. Either that or this person doesn’t have the faintest idea how to google properly.

@dhry @Mollarom like @masi said, it's infiniatly configurable. And especially for those of us who work with text constantly it's an amazing cross section of tooling that can be used within a single environment.
Sure pkm, notes. But also publishing to html, latex, docx, pdf, markdown, jira, confluence. Using llms. Email. Mastodon. Matrix. Version control. And nearly all of that easily funnels right into org-mode which also has functionality for project and todo management ...

This is the way.

@harish @jameshowell @dhry @masi @Mollarom Beauty is subjective but I have ~80 capture templates most frequently I type SPC ocdwll (SPC is spacemacs leader, o is custom binding, then c for capture d daily w work l log log). It's pretty darn quick even if it looks like a lot of keystrokes, it's faster than mousing.
