COR BLIMEY MATE! WHAT ARE YE DOIN IN ME POCKETS?

Akane was concerned about everything being a dream but I think Yamada’s embrace really wiped her mind of that. She was so happy that she couldn’t even sleep. Super adorable 🥰

I started using Obsidian about a month ago. So far I’ve been treating it like a personal wiki. It took me a while to start really figuring out what to create, but now some of my primary subjects are technical notes (programming), ancestry, health, academic notes, etc.

I mainly feel prompted to create notes based on learned information. I might take an article found online with really interesting information, then convert it into my own words and save that as a note. The more concise I can make the note, the better. It’s preferable to try and get to the main point of a subject in a few sentences or less. Doing it this way makes future me spend less time retrieving the information I need.

One shortcut that has helped me a lot is CTRL + O. It will open a promp to find a note, or create one if that doesn’t exist. It’s important to give your notes basic tags as well for what topics they pertain to do that you can make searching easier.

As for how much I use it, currently maybe a couple times a day, but I anticipate my usage growing as my note collection becomes larger.

I’ve dreamed for years about a decentralized single sign-in method. Some of the worst security issues derive from using passwords, usernames, emails, etc. Two factor authentication is ultimately just a band-aid fix for now. I truly think the killer usecase of web3 will be the ux. I’m glad that there’s someone else that shares this conviction.

While signing up for Lemmy, I found myself wishing for a web3 sign-in method. Federation is great, but there are so many servers and to have an account on each would be silly. Instead of crossing the server boundary on an account from your home server, why not just have a native account on each, connected by your decentralized web3 sign-in.

There are archives of Reddit history, notably the Pushshift archive & current ongoing Archive Team archive. Much of the data can be searched on the Wayback Machine provided by the Internet Archive.

I have already tried doing this a few times, even replacing Reddit with Lemmy, despite knowing what the result would be. It’s a fun exercise until I need to sit and read through the fluff in standard articles.

I’ve wanted to visit one of the Dark Sky approved locations for a while now. It’s weird to realize that most of us have never seen a truly dark night sky. It’s a waning resource.

Our ancestors built entire systems of navigation and beliefs based on it. Our view is a fraction of what they were able to observe with their naked eyes. It feels like viewing an unobstructed sky would be an important experience to have, so I’m thankful organizations like this exist.
