I just don’t see the point of obsidian et al.
Just use a directory structure and save markdown files in it.
There are many apps that are great editors for this structure on every platform. IDK exactly what obsidian does but many editors have zettelkasten (fancy cross links) functionality, just no fancy graph.
Ghostty + helix is the sexxy RN.
Hol up. Are notes stored in files in a directory structure or a single file? Just that you said “the file” so I’m wondering.
If so, that’s lock in.
That’s the whole point of markdown lmfao.
Yeah.
Sadly I think email will be with us for the foreseeable future. It’s broken, sure… but it’s just so fundamental to the web.
An alternative would need to be ubiquitous, and that seems unachievable.
Old mate didn’t provide any fascinating insights into the manufacturing practices of soviet era communism, they just trotted out some meme-level anti-capitalist vibe-based hyperbole.
I’m not going to engage in a silly argument about the merits of communism as opposed to capitalism.
I don’t think the SPF / DKIM / DMARC stuff is overly complex nor the core of the problem.
In my case it was recipients with bonkers microsoft exchange servers that just had weird ideas about who should be sending them emails.
For example, one thing that tripped me up forever ago was grey listing. Apparently the receiving server just wouldn’t acknowledge the sending server for an arbitrary period of time, say 12 hours or so. Spam senders would usually give up long before then, while a legit server would keep trying because it’s legitimately trying to deliver an actual email.
So my email-in-a-box type self hosted set up was fine really. Compliant you might say. But to send emails to this one in a thousand recipient I had to investigate what was going on and reconfigure things to ensure their server would interact with mine.
Another thing that can happen is that spammers just put your email address in the “from” field and fire off a few million emails. Obviously the DKIM signatures and SPF won’t match but it still just makes your future legitimate emails look spammy. Having the credibility of a larger organisation goes a long way in this type of instance.
I’m absolutely in the “don’t self-host email” camp. That said, I think it could be done reliably if you wanted to use someone else’s SMTP server and let them worry about deliverability. As in, have your mx records on your domain route to your MTA and dovecot, but set your DKIM and SPF records to match a third party SMTP server. You could use mxroute as an SMTP server very cheaply. There are others like the email API type services. I still can’t think of why I’d want to self host with all this drama but just an idea I’ve heard.
Indeed.
The whole mess seems to have gotten so much worse.
I think most places keep a brush in the toilet in a fancy caddy. That’s because the expectation is that everyone scrubs any skid marks before leaving.
I suspect that the plunger is to do with standard sewage pipe guage rather than just “shoddy” workmanship or whatever. That’s why bidet spray is more or less mandatory in South East Asia, the sewage pipes just aren’t wide enough to handle toilet paper.
Water bottles for bikes suffer from this.
You gotta get them really dried out really regularly.
Like if you only have one that you use every day it’s just going to get gross no matter what.
It needs to be bone dry for a few days to kill everything.
If you have 2 and switch once a week, the one that’s out of rotation will dry out and any funk will just die off.
I don’t think I’ve ever seen a plunger of any kind kept in someone’s toilet.
Is this an American thing?
Weird take on counter tops.
Things designed for many people to use need to be the best height for most people. I feel confident that most countertops are the best height for most people.
I acknowledge that they are too low for a tall person, and that they’re too high for a short person.
You’re pretty much just saying you want things to be designed for you and that everyone else should adapt to you, rather than you having to make concessions for others like everybody does.
I agree with you, but I’m not sure how great it would actually be.
I don’t know much about it and I suspect others will be along to correct me in a moment, but wasn’t this a feature of soviet era communism?
As in, capitalists all compete in a free market to produce the best chair for the lowest price. Communism is more efficient because we just direct a factory to make 2 types of chair, standard and deluxe.
I’ve had these dual wall glass mugs at home for a few years. So civilised.

The tricky part with phase 1 is managing water pressure. Too little is ineffective. Too much blasts shit everywhere.
Do a test squirt into the bowl so you know what you’ve got to work with. Start with low pressure to get most of it, adjust angle of necessary, then hit it with everything.
That’s not what I meant at all.
There’s plenty of examples of .ml mods banning users for reasonable criticism.
For sure there are plenty of people that don’t produce any real value in their work, but that’s been the case since forever and they’re hard to weed out because in some ways their full time job is to ensure their ongoing employment.
As in most things, it’s a question of extent.
The most accurate statement you can make is that AI will make “most” office employees “more” efficient.
The thing is, this has been happening with every technological advance for hundreds of years.
There’s no evidence that “more advanced AI” is going to emerge in the next few years.
I don’t even see the code. All I see is heading, emphasis, dot-points …
