This is really helpful, thanks!
I think I need more practice with knowing when to create a node. In the past, every single entry would look like this:
I went to [Alice] birthday party and met [Bob]. We talked about [clouds].
And that got very cumbersome. I like your suggestion of using back links to create a better summary document.
Got it, I see what you mean. Thanks for this!
I keep failing to make Zettelkasten and org-roam work for me. Do you use a single knowledge base for your whole life, with millions of tags and pages? Or should I be making separate directories for each project? Is the “daily journal” the best place to put everything, with well tagged entries?
You don’t have to answer all of those!
NieR: Automata
For some reason this New Scientist cartoon lives in my head. Maybe because it challenges the way I think about the future? Or maybe it’s just cute.
Thanks so much for doing this! I almost forgot to enter.
I won’t be using these features, but I’m not sure there’s cause for concern. The implementation seems very sensible and legitimately privacy-centric. The LLM runs locally and is meant as an very basic email proofreader. The crypto wallet is a likely an extension of the password management tech they’ve already developed, with transaction features that some people care about.
I can see why some people want these features, and I’m glad there are new alternatives.
This is really well done!
What a weird situation. I suppose it’s nice those workarounds exist, even if they’re not ideal.
Interesting! I assume it involves a smart plug and an automation script that monitors battery level?
Wow, Graphene really doesn’t have charging limits?
I assume this is the discussion you referred to, and I think it broke my trust in the project.
Edit: As far as I can tell, many of the frustrating parts of that thread are from random posters and not devs. I’m still annoyed that such a basic feature is considered controversial.
Thanks for this! I’ve spent several dozen hours trying to get SteamVR working well on Linux, and finally gave up.
Is the Monado experience close enough to Windows to be usable? Are you aware of any major tradeoffs?
At this point I accept that Valve probably can’t compete with the billions poured into the Meta Quest 3, but I’m glad they understand there’s an enthusiastic audience for whatever they do next.
Looks way more capable than the PineTime, which is awesome. But there’s no way the blood pressure sensor is reliable, right?
I expected to roll my eyes at this article but it’s actually quite compelling and well written. The Kagi website’s lack of nuanced privacy discussion already turned me off, and now I’m just going to pretend the service doesn’t exist.
What scanners do people recommend?
Game: Elden Ring
This year I decided to start biking to work and it’s been a complete joy. The commute is fairly long, but it’s beautiful and gives me time to reflect and turn my worry-brain off. I’m more productive at work, I feel better about my lifestyle, and my body is really happy about it. I’m lucky to be in a career and geography that allows this, and I’m grateful for all the work that people in my community have done to improve cycling infrastructure.
Thanks so much for doing this!
Vermillion VR, if it’s available! I’ve been curious about it for a while.
This is really nice of you, thanks!
Edit: Sent a PM.
The homepage makes me think that it’s a translation tool similar to DeepL. Is that the part you’re recommending?
Yeah, it’s a Strawpoll issue, not an Eternity one. For some reason “VPN voting is not allowed”. I could definitely bounce around servers/protocols to find one that works, but I’m not in the mood.
Eternity has been perfect for my needs after Liftoff went on break. I can’t vote because of my VPN, though.
Edit: That is, I can’t vote on Strawpoll. Eternity works perfectly!
This makes a lot of sense! I’m going to give it another shot with these insights in mind. I think if I frame it as a future-facing tool like you describe I’ll avoid a lot of my previous mistakes.
Thanks for explaining :)
