The twitter branding was one of the few things actually going for it. Oh look a cute birdie, oh look the house is a birdhouse! GET IT!

Now it's, an X? A meaningless X? With a birdhouse home icon and bird-related words everywhere?

It's wild to me how native proton feels in so many games. Though, I'll still have a special place in my heart for Super Tux Kart, Warsow, Armagetron Advanced, 0 A.D. et al. Not to mention all the ports Feral Interactive has done over the years.

ONE OF US. ONE OF US.
My main concern now though is that there's a single point of failure for my mental well being. I'm reaally gonna need to keep backups because it's not just my 'second brain' I think most of my actual brain is in there at this point.

Good riddance. I can't stand voice assistants. Obviously they're useful for some folks but if I don't want to use them they shouldn't be running on my system at all. I don't want Bixby, I don't want Xbox Gamebar, I don't want Ok Google, I don't want Edge... it's just endlessly tedious that these companies push an update through and dark pattern their way into getting it running on your system or straight up don't ask you.

You can also do this with any theme if you setup a CSS Snippet:

// This is the one that works for me
.markdown-source-view.mod-cm6 .cm-scroller {
    font-family: monospace;
}

// You may also want to do this one
.markdown-source-view {
    font-family: monospace;
}

Then reading view will use whatever font you've configured in the settings.

I'm so annoyed with myself for not giving Excalidraw more of a try. When I first installed Obsidian it was one of the plugins I tried out, but for some reason didn't end up using it. I had a Galaxy Note, but I never thought to install the plugin on the phone, I just assumed that it'd be a little janky.

Recently however I was looking for a cross-platform handwritten notes app that would work with my iPad w/ Apple Pencil and Galaxy Note w/ S-Pen... low and behold after trying all these other apps I remembered Excalidraw and decided to see what it was like. Holy crap, how did I miss this? Under my nose the whole time.

Not that I know of. Obsidian sync between multiple devices is end-to-end encrypted but it all ends up unencrypted on device. Some plugins let you encrypt sensitive information/notes (Meld Encrypt) - I haven't used it in some time but when I did it was a little finicky.

Some other options:

  • Use disk encryption on your devices.
  • Install a Linux distro in a virtual machine with encrypted home partition exclusively for running Obsidian. (It's like electron except you're bundling an operating system)
  • Use android work mode/insular to isolate Obsidian's files from other apps.

I've had the exact same experience. My desktop can play at higher framerates, with better graphics on a larger screen - yet here I am playing on the SteamDeck. Also love the sleep/wake. Being able to have a 30 minute game break and pausing it whenever is so good.

They shoulda called it 'Slamkey' - boom ya got your misskey reference, it explains what it is (a place where you slam keys) and your premier instance can be slamkey social.

It's one of those project names that only makes sense if you know that the creator goes by the name 'thatonecalculator', 'calc' for short and it's their fork of 'misskey' - boom, it's calckey.

But for anyone else and general adoption it really doesn't suit it. I think I'd have to come up with new names for some of my personal projects too if I ever released them since the naming scheme is similar... like 'dowathbin' 'dowathstodon'

There is a plugin called gpgCrypt that might do full vault encryption (no idea how well it works) but it does mention that Obsidian's cache of notes will still be unencrypted on disk.

That works, can't believe I didn't think of that. Thanks!!

I bought Guardians of the Galaxy during the Steam Winter Sale for about $15... which I think is a better deal than getting it for free and having to deal with Epic Games.

Yeah the fact that it saves into JSON files is ridiculous. xD
I was using Minimal for the longest time, now I'm on a modified version of Tokyo Night. I just needed the contrast to look a bit punchier.

Kinda wish that Obsidian integrated handwriting into the canvas like Logseq has done with their whiteboard... it would be so cool

Third-party batteries are fine but as others have mentioned, look for a reputable seller. Newer Tech NuPower, XINGLT, iFixit. etc. Any 'official' battery you get is likely going to be a second-hand one or a third-party one being sold as official anyway.
