If believing it make you a tiny bit more motivated…

All right, I’ve been thinking, when life gives you lemons, don’t make lemonade! Make life take the lemons back! Get mad! I don’t want your damn lemons! What am I supposed to do with these? Demand to see life’s manager! Make life rue the day it thought it could give Cave Johnson lemons! Do you know who I am? I’m the man whose gonna burn your house down - with the lemons!

Dear google, can I have custom passkey provider on my Android <13?

Google:

Spoiler: There’s no option to change the passkey provider nor even mention of passkeys in settings

Could you describe what is the problem and how you expect search to work (any examples)?

And @[email protected], if you’re out there, feel free to chime in and let us know what your thoughts on the results of Bible challenge and plans for the future tests 😌

If I agree with you, it’s harassment. If I disagree with you, you’d block me. So, I’ll just say imo you’re one beautiful *slur* and I’m glad you’re so humble to acknowledge&embrace your own limitations 🤍

Women on the internet: I’m harassed every day!
Men on the internet: *coming in hoards* never happened to me, so obv ur a *slur* and you deserve it

welp, thanks for your feedback, I’ll those ones to meself in the future, cheers

I didn’t feel like moving anyway.

Oh, so that’s was the doctor talking about when he mentioned bmi! Guess I’m doing a good job then

Goodluck checking for hallucinations using this approach

I used to use llm to fill up forms with personal data: llm always tries to imagine new people, amalgamation of correct names from db, new forms, imaginary places of birth, nonexistent false data. Weeding out these error is hard and usually happens far late into production. To catch the error, I have to create all sorts of pipelines and checks, which is insane complexity and maintenance burden for such a simple job as “fill up a form”

AI hyped coworker in response to this problem said: oh, so it’s just a quality problem – you can put AI to check the result 10 times and if it’s flaky, give it to human to check.

He created a system where llms were writing code, checked the resulting code and verified it to written requirements by nontechnical-human. I mean it’s impressive but I can’t imagine the system being “hired” to do high stake projects.

The only bad thing about NixOS is beginner experience of adopting it to one’s personal needs

I’ll just give you an example: just because CNC machine doesn’t “need” a person to function, for some reason there are no operator-less stations where you can just upload AI generated design and pickup your part later

So even when machine is claimed to be “fully-autonomous” there’s a guy with controller, watching and making decisions – just like a surgeon/dentist would

All robots in healthcare aren’t autonomous. Robot in healthcare is a tool with operator. Here the operator is a dentist – living failsafe switch in case stuff goes wrong.

Plot twist: I wouldn’t get it either

BTW Check out the work of others, maybe you could salvage few things for your project as well

My cat will take it as personal challenge to break it

There’s plugin called Slash Commands for that but it’s not available on android yet. Stay tuned

Files and notes reorganized (Part 1)

Now that I have discovered Joplin for me, it continues with the question of how to organize my files and notes. On the now state of affairs.

When getting to know Nextcloud, my idea was that I were storing everything in it and also manage it with the Nextcloud apps (in the browser or on the smartphone). But that only works halfway.

Nextcloud

• With a good folder structure, a good archive can be set up in Nextcloud.
• The search in the web interface also quickly finds files with the search term in the name.
• However, the search for PDFs does not work. For this purpose, one would need an ElasticSearch server, which my provider Hetzner does not provide me.
• With the Nextcloud app, I can also mark individual files or entire folders for offline availability on my mobile devices.

Joplin

• My own Nextcloud instance allows me to sync joplin about it.
• The data is even sent encrypted by Joplin to Nextcloud, so that the security of the data stored in this way is also quite high.
• Since version 3.0, a text recognition for the stored PDFs and images is performed (at least on the desktop). Thus, terms can be found in these files.
• Nestable notebooks and tags (keywords) provide a good basis to keep order.
• Joplin runs on my iPhone, iPad, iMac and Macbook as well as on my Linux notebook.
• All the data I have stored in Joplin is always available offline on the above devices.

Apple Notes and iCloud

I briefly considered using Apple’s notes app more. It is also very functional and well integrated into the Apple ecosphere. But: Once the data is in, you only get it out with difficulty. The current developments in the USA are not predictable. Who knows if I can or will still use Apple products in two or three years. Therefore, it is good to entrust the most important data, files and thoughts of more open systems. So I can still use Apple as a platform, but change relatively quickly if necessary.

So I have few more files in the iCloud, apart from some specific Apple applications and my photos.

Day One

Unfortunately, Day One is not so cross-platform. Recently there is a web interface. Otherwise, the app mainly runs on Apple devices. As a diary app, I have learned to appreciate them because they simplify many inputs and gives me a good chronological overview of some things. I won’t give them up so quickly, but I’m considering whether some things could not find their place in joplin. Because in Joplin, I can change the date of creation of a note (unlike other programs) and thus build up a chronological order that I like in a notebook.

Strongbox

In recent years, I have also used my password management to save more sensitive files, such as Copies of my passport. This naturally inflates the underlying Keepass file. Now I can consider whether I am not shifting a lot to Joplin here, because its data is at least encrypted in the cloud. I only have to secure access to my devices sufficiently. Strongbox also runs on Apple devices only. But that is not a problem here. Because as written, Strongbox stores passwords and Co. in Keepass file format. And such a file can also be opened by some other password managers (including Linux). When I leave Apple, I am connected to my passwords in a season within seconds. The file sync is still running via iCloud, but here too I will try out a solution via Nextcloud soon.

Challenge

When I was still working with Evernote, it was my super app, where everything had landed: notes, important mail texts, PDFs (invoices, letters, brochures, …), pictures and web archives. Joplin could be a bit like this super app. But I don’t know if I want that. I want to collect hundreds of notes in a notebook again or try to collect “things” in a note. Must really end up in Joplin or some things are in good hands in a folder. For example, evidence I never actually need – except every few years for a special occasion.

And am I not the keeper? Shouldn’t I start with the question of what I keep at all?

With Joplin and Nextcloud, I have now created a good new ecosphere, which needs to be explored further. Then it will become clear how I organize myself.

At the moment I am rather erasing. This is like the famous cleaning up in the study. I notice what I have of everything I have about the old stuff that I have never needed and will probably never need it. Digital also happens much faster that you save things twice and three times. With the help of an app, I was already able to find several Gigabytes of duplicates.

I am curious to see what I have to report in the second part, which was to come in a few weeks.

Also, the image you posted seems to defend Obsidian from criticism, so I was pretty surprised to get a reply from you talking about shills, about negative reception to criticism because the people in the conversation are paid actors.

The picture I posted, is an example how community leaders react to problems:

0. they make you repeat yourself (imo they hope you’d get tired and drop asking for help)
1. “it’s not a big deal” aka “deny problem exists 🙈”
2. “poor people problem” aka “victim blaming” 2.1 “nah, bro, it works for me” — “been using the software for ages, never had any problem”
3. “everyone doing it” — whataboutism and comparing oneselves with the worst players

On the picture you can see 0 and 3, but not many people care enough to encounter all the responses. It’s much easier just to give up than get any bit of helpful advice.

Past example thread of mine

Putting all my cards on the table, I am an Obsidian user who enjoys it. I saw this post in PKMS got lots of upvotes, and my motive here is Fediverse engagement, which is why I thought this would make a nice crosspost.

Cheers to you, mate. If you wanna discuss Obsidian problems in the open – be my welcomest guest. However, I gotta warn you to brace yourself, you might encounter a lot of resistance and bigotry.
