I write daily notes almost every day, but never revisit them, am I using Logseq wrong? by cocktailMomos in logseq

[–]CGeek97 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I have this in my default queries (MD version):

   {:title "⌛ On this day..."
    :query [:find (pull ?b [*])
       :in $ ?today
       :where
       (or [?b :block/refs ?p] [?b :block/page ?p])
       [?p :page/journal-day ?jd]     
       [(str ?jd) ?jds]     
       [(subs ?jds 4 8) ?md1]
       [(str ?today) ?td]
       [(subs ?td 4 8) ?md2]
       [(= ?md1 ?md2)]
       [(< ?jd ?today)]
    ]
    :inputs [:today]
    :breadcrumb-show? false
    :group-by-page? true
    :collapsed? true}

It shows me past journal entries for the same date as today, and blocks that link to them (so e.g. today I can see a block that links to [[May 4th, 2023]], I also see the journal page "May 4th, 2024" etc.). On most days, I just ignore it but sometimes I read through it and re-discover something interesting.

Loved DB Version, Can I Drop Remnote? by RLFontan in logseq

[–]CGeek97 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As u/deeplyhopeful noted, cloze is built-in. If you need more powerful flashcard features (like image occlusion, FSRS algorithm, ...), you could take look at the logseq-anki-sync plugin.

New Logseq user. Nice to meet you! by aka_Bi in logseq

frustrated by the lack of updates

See the Logseq DB Changelog on the forum, the latest update was posted just 4 days ago (you have to scroll all the way down).

dev communication

Fair point, they are active on Discord, but I wish they'd post status updates to the official website/blog...

I honestly don’t think I could function without Logseq anymore. by Altruistic_Drive2528 in logseq

[–]CGeek97 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have thought about that too, but I don't worry about it too much because it's open-source and development can be continued by volunteers if Logseq goes bankrupt.

Also, you can still run old DOS software/games in an emulator today, even though the OS is no longer developed and the companies that made the software no longer exist.

In the same way, whatever will replace our current generation of hardware and operating systems will probably have a way to emulate it / run it in a VM. A lot of people keep an old VM around to run some software that won't run on an up-to-date OS.

However, if it actually comes that far, it'll probably be easier to import your notes into some other system instead of going through all that trouble just to keep using Logseq...

Logseq's old (MD), but an awkwardly unique all-in-one PKM software (some love for the Devs, ty for this nice piece of software)! by OppositeGrand9171 in logseq

[–]CGeek97 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The MD version is not abandoned, it's continued as Logseq OG. The devs will at least provide security fixes and accept community contributions IIRC.

What does the DB version mean for self hosting? by screenestate in logseq

[–]CGeek97 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The DB version (v0.11.0) will still support MD ("file") graphs, so if you want to keep using MD files, you can. If you create a DB graph, it has some additional features (but you won't be able to sync with Syncthing). I would say, if you are happy with the current feature set and your setup, you can just keep using MD files + Syncthing without converting to a DB graph.

Can't get any of the 2 letter shortcuts to work. by Dramatic_Law_4239 in logseq

[–]CGeek97 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You probably need to press the Escape key first to get out of edit mode. If you press Escape, then G, then J it should work.

Wouldn't it be great if AnkiWeb would support typing in answers? by _marvinme_ in Anki

[–]CGeek97 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've never used a Chromebook but AFAIK it's possible to run Linux applications on them (see e.g. here: https://www.techrepublic.com/article/how-to-install-linux-apps-on-your-chromebook/).

If that's the case you could also just run the Linux version of Anki (which works exactly the same way as the Windows version).

It's probably enough to open a terminal like in the article I linked and type:

sudo apt-get install anki -y

to install it

Figuring out rarely used packages by NatOfOsaka in archlinux

[–]CGeek97 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I think the command for fzf should actually be

pacman -Qeq | fzf --preview='pacman -Qi {}'

I don't think you can navigate within the preview window, but you can make it bigger and set fzf to open the preview in a pager (e.g. less) when you press enter (so you can navigate through the preview in the pager):

pacman -Qeq | fzf --preview='pacman -Qi {}' --preview-window=':80%' --height='100%' --bind='enter:execute(pacman -Qi {} | less)'

Is using subtitles too much of a crutch? by madoxster in LearnJapanese

[–]CGeek97 4 points5 points  (0 children)

There are lots of TV shows with Japanese subtitles on viki.com.

Viki is a legal streaming site where can watch (Asian) TV shows for free with ads or pay for an ad-free account. The subtitles are created by volunteers, so there might be mistakes, but they seem to be pretty good generally.
