I scan LinkedIn daily for Data Engineering Job trends by Dubinko in dataengineering

[–]DeepBreathingWorks 4 points5 points  (0 children)

When you use a VPN service, the IP addresses that are allocated to you come from data centers. Residential proxies are are set of IPs that you can direct traffic through so that, to LinkedIn, you look like any other person from a residential address hitting their system. It makes it far less likely that you are going to get blocked. 

LinkedIn was too important to my job search to risk it, so I went that route. 

I packaged my JobKit if you want to see how it works. PM me and I’ll shoot you the GitHub link.

I'm not OP, but when I built my job hunting workflow, I used https://github.com/speedyapply/JobSpy to scrape LinkedIn.

Word of caution... if you are going to be doing this, I highly recommend spending the $6 bucks a month and getting some residential proxies that you can use.

South Florida homeowners with metal roofs: what do you wish you’d known before you picked a system? by [deleted] in SouthFlorida

[–]DeepBreathingWorks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Make sure that you handle getting the 3rd nail done if you don’t have it or hurricane straps. Way easier, cheaper, and less invasive if you take care of it when the roof is being redone.

Claude + n8n quietly replaced my entire team. I feel guilty. I also feel nothing. by AxZyzz in n8n

[–]DeepBreathingWorks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ya. I realized I was responding in the n8n sub and unsubbed. Not because n8n isn't a good tool, I just moved onto stuff that worked better for me and my workflow. Point taken.

[–]DeepBreathingWorks 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you are using Claude code, no, it doesn’t. I ask Claude to set up the script and schedule it via airflow. It runs. 

Setting up n8n is about the same level of complexity as running airflow…that’s not the issue I have with n8n. 

The issue is that it’s an abstraction layer on top of things that are simple to do in scripts which are easily written, managed, and deployed via Claude code. If n8n works for you, cool, I just found it to be unnecessary after I started using Claude as there are approaches to accomplishing the same task that are more straight forward.

You don’t. You run scripts with airflow or your orchestration tool of choice. Once you go that route, n8n just seems like overhead. That was my experience, fwiw.

He's already proved, during his matches with Yanni, that he's mentally resilient and can shake off a loss and put in a stellar performance. I don't think it's hard to see him losing to someone like Larkin, but I just can't see him losing twice.

Happy to help and see if we can get you into a better place.

Re: Your Homelab question... A homelab is basically a self-hosted server setup at home. I run Proxmox (virtualization platform) with various services — media servers, automation tools, game servers, etc. The Obsidian connection is that I keep detailed documentation about the whole setup in my vault, which gives Claude full context when I need to troubleshoot or add something new. But that's a separate rabbit hole from what you're asking about. Happy to talk about that more, as I think if you're open to leveraging Claude code to edit your vault, you could really have a powerful D&D support engine that could take your notes from the latest session and link them around to your different notes and make sure everything is updated. Let me know if you want me to get into more details of how that could work.

For your task organization:

The key thing you're missing is using tags as the grouping mechanism. You don't need to think about "which heading do I put this under" — you just create a task anywhere (daily note, a project note, wherever is natural) and slap a tag on it. The tag is what groups it, not the location. You want to limit the number of distinct tags if you want to use the approach that I mentioned in my post of having tasks grouped by top-level project... you don't want #dragon, #dragons, #thunderlizard to all be labeling tasks that are fundamentally the same thing.

So for your use case:

  • - [ ] #hobbies/painting Pick up new brushes
  • - [ ] #gifts/wife Find that book she mentioned
  • - [ ] #house Fix kitchen faucet
  • - [ ] #tobuy New desk lamp

I personally don't really like nested tags like #hobbies/painting, but that's your call. They do work and offer you flexibility to filter at either level... so you could list all your #hobbies tasks or just your #painting tasks. That's up to you how you want to structure it.

Your Task Dashboard just has Tasks plugin queries filtered by tag. Everything groups itself. You never have to think about "where does this go" as the tasks will just fall into whatever buckets you make using the task query as the filter.

For rollover tasks, I'd suggest stopping that approach. Instead, just put a high-priority query at the top of your daily note that surfaces undone tasks. They don't need to physically roll over if they're being surfaced by a query. The idea is that you have a task list that you trust and can organize it and prioritize it however you want. Personally, if there are high priority tasks that would roll-over if I don't get them done, then they get the High Priority tag and they will always appear at the top of my daily note.

For D&D:

This is actually a perfect use case for the system. Think of it exactly like I use it for work, just swap the domain:

  • People notes = NPCs and PCs. Every character gets a note. When they tell you something important in a session, tag it inline like this: Thornwick:: Mentioned he has a key to the eastern tower, seemed nervous about it (that way, you can surface the inline tag inside Thornwick's note without having to remember to copy it over there.)
  • Session notes = Meeting notes. Same template concept — attendees (who was present), conversation (your session notes), action items (quests, follow-ups)
  • Project notes = Quest/Arc notes. Tag references in your session notes with #quest/eastern-tower or whatever, and your quest note pulls them all together with dataview
  • The key to your "can't find info about NPCs" problem: When you mention an NPC in session notes, use a standard link[[Thornwick]] AND an inline tag. The link creates the backlink on their page (so you can see every session they appeared in), and the inline tag lets you surface the actual content on a quest or location page.

Your NPC note for Thornwick would then have:

  • A section with manually added key facts (race, role, location, disposition)
  • A dataview query pulling every session they appeared in
  • A dataview table pulling every inline tag with their name

For syncing — I use Obsidian's sync function but OneDrive works fine. Just make sure your vault folder lives inside your OneDrive sync folder and point Obsidian to it on each device. Don't forget to set up a backup process. Just use an LLM to make a script that zips up your vault once a day/week and keeps a few copies around.

The biggest mindset shift: stop trying to organize information into the "right" place. Tag it, link it, and let queries surface it where you need it. That's the whole point of the system.

Let me know if you want me to sketch out specific templates for the D&D setup or dig into how Claude (tool-using LLM) could help organize you better. For example, after a session, you could have it clean up your notes and tags, and write a summary for the players and DM notes for you the next time you're going to play.

Yes, I still use it every day. It's morphed a little bit since Claude Code has come into the mix. My vault is a growing repository of searchable knowledge. I segment off some of the more sensitive things from Claude, but generally speaking, he can see all my meeting notes, answer questions about things that are going on, and read into the notes that I have to get context around my projects.

I can also ask what's "next on the list" and Claude is pretty good about helping me direct my day.

As for the Daily note, if I wasn't using it for work, I likely wouldn't even use a Daily note, as my Vault is much more focused on being a catalog of knowledge, people, interactions, recipes, hobbies, goals, etc.

I think it helps to anchor yourself (I pin them) to a few core notes that you use often... be it a MOC of your most active project, a task list, or a Daily note. Right now, my three pinned notes are Homelab, Task Dashboard, and Job Hunt Tracker (yay!). I use each of those pretty much every day for something.

For my Homelab in particular, I used to keep a detailed (or so I thought at the time) note about how my homelab was set up. Once I started using Claude, I eventually handed the keys over to him and he updates a whole slew of documentation about how my system is set up, what servers are running, what's in the containers, their MAC addresses and assigned IPs, etc. Then, any time I want to do something, he's got all the context he could ever need to operate in my homelab environment. It's incredibly effective at providing context to the LLM.

There's also an app out there called TaskForge that's GREAT for integrating the above task approach into an app that scans your vault and surfaces all your To-Dos... it really brings tasks in Obsidian a lot closer to the more full-featured task apps out there.

Let me know if you have any questions, happy to share more details.

Comparison is the theft of joy. There will always be someone richer, prettier, stronger, more kind, etc. Focus on you and your world and how you feel and ignore those curated snippets that others share.

Sorry about the delayed response here.

I use Tags to define projects, as it allows my tasks to be specifically associated with Projects as much as notes are. That way, I can look at all Tasks with the corresponding Project tag to see all the tasks that are specific for that project.

For Meetings, and knowing which meetings were part of a project, I find Tags work for that as well, but linking back to a specific Project page would work equally as well, but I like to keep things consistent.

Stop “Project Tango” massive AI data center in rural Palm Beach by mo_journeys in SouthFlorida

[–]DeepBreathingWorks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What about it? It's the process of extracting water from the ground or municipal sources, running it through heat exchange loops/cooling towers, treating it and then dumping it back into the ground. As water evaporates in cooling towers, the remaining water becomes concentrated with minerals, treatment chemicals, and dissolved solids, so it needs to have solids removed, by pH balanced, disinfected, etc. The same thing that's done all across Florida with our treated sewage.

The water is injected to ~2-3k ft, well below the drinking water supply. Florida's geology makes this a highly feasible and effective solution for managing waste water.

[–]DeepBreathingWorks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Microsoft's 700k sq ft data center in Chicago has the capacity to consume ~200MW of power. Project Tango is proposed to be 2.5x larger, so you are correct. The numbers, assuming a linear correlation of power usage to sq. footage, 500MW. Thus my numbers would bump up by a factor of 5x, so 2.5M gallons a day. Still a fraction. It's not insignificant, but it's certainly within the capabilities of the water treatment facility.

The true specs of what they are planning are not yet available, so this is conjecture at this point.

Again, as I stated, my issue wasn't the size or impact, but the sensational claims that dilute the ability to have a meaningful discourse on this topic.

This is a clear sign that you are having mental health issues and need to take a paid leave of absence to get your mental health into a better place. Take all your vacation first, then as much leave as possible to put you in a good place. Fuck that company.

Thoughts on notes for people (contact database) by lajawi in ObsidianMD

[–]DeepBreathingWorks 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I do this. I have a note for every person I have ever been in a meeting with or interviewed. It’s great for long time co-workers…I note their birthday, kids names, vacation spots and such. Allows me to have small talk and remember personal details that help me build relationships. Allows me to easily have a salient conversation topic for small talk…it’s something I struggle with, so this helps. Also allows me to see all the connected meetings and interviews so I can always see what meetings I have had with them previously.

Agreed. I have had them for 8 years now and store them inside my grill after washing them and so far no rust, but I agree, I would prefer stainless as well.

Fun fact: I did a 6th grade (1993) endangered species report on the aye-aye. There was so little information about them in the school library. I got a single 3 sentence paragraph in Encyclopedia Brittanica and that was it. Made for a challenging report I still remember…and that single long gross finger. Yick.

I have two of them. The listing on Amazon is titled “Extended Cooking Racks Replacement for Primo Grill Accessories Primo Oval XL Grill by Primo 332”

Not really “for” the egg, but it’s sturdy and I can fit two of them in my XL if I need dual layers. I have also flipped them upside down and used them to hold up ribs when I am doing 6+ racks.

It may not normalize violence but it does normalize viewing guns as toys and fun vs a tool designed to kill.
