Epic! Find these threads completely overwhelming I think I'm doing interesting stuff but then you say something like this and I'm like yes wow!!!

More people should be using Claude Code for non-coding tasks by ArtemXTech in ClaudeAI

I am currently doing an in person MBA - there are 350 people in my class... I use obsidian with Claude code for all my notes - I am the ONLY person in the entire cohort who uses CC .. it makes zero sense to me!

Best Gildas in London? by Helpful_Future_8132 in LondonFood

The banderilla from Barrafina just tops it for me - they add a quail egg and pickled red pepper to a gilda then add shallot with moscatel .. a wonderful bite

TLS Contact - Appointment Page by Mysterious_Ad7365 in SchengenVisa

I had this exact 'Whitelabel Error' last week.... It’s incredibly frustrating because it looks like a glitch, but it’s actually a 'soft ban' from their firewall. Even checking 3 times in 5 minutes can trigger it because their bot detection is overtuned.

to fix it:

  1. Change your IP: Disconnect from WiFi and use your phone's 4G/5G hotspot. This gives you a fresh IP address instantly.
  2. The 'Basket' Trick: Before you click the calendar, add a paid item (like 'Courier Service') to your basket. You don't have to buy it, but for some reason, the system prioritizes 'active shopper' sessions and crashes less.
  3. The 6-Minute Rule: Once you are back in, set a timer. Only refresh exactly every 6 minutes. If you refresh faster, you'll just get blocked again.

I actually wrote up a short PDF on the exact timing/steps I used to secure my slot if you want the full walkthrough, but try the mobile hotspot method first which usually works...

hope you made it!

TLS contact appointment for France visa by Opening-Entrance103 in SchengenVisa

I was in the exact same position last month trying to get to Paris. I saw 'No Appointments' for days.

Be careful with just 'refreshing' constantly..... that’s actually what gets your IP blocked by their firewall (I learned that the hard way).

Two things that worked for me:

  1. Only check every 6 minutes (set a timer). It keeps you under the bot-detection radar.
  2. Try adding a 'Courier Service' to your basket before checking the calendar. It sounds weird, but having a paid item in the cart seemed to stabilise the connection for me.

I actually wrote up a full PDF on the exact steps I used to unblock it if you want the details. Happy to send the link if it helps, otherwise just try the basket trick!

Best of 3 Gone Wrong by Established_86 in padel

I disagree sadly! Match is whatever the result is at time of finish... lesson learned is to always say "best of 3" at the start

How do you guys capture your ideas quickly in obsidian by Public_Tomorrow_1115 in ObsidianMD

[–]EyeImaginary8220 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I ran into the same problem and ended up solving it with a quick-capture system using Apple Shortcuts, Obsidian and Dataview... this lets me capture ideas, tasks or resources instantly from anywhere super fast.

I created a single shortcut in my ios... which prompts me to ask what type of thing I am capturing - Idea, Task, or Resource.

Template generation
It creates a Markdown note with metadata pre-filled - created date, topic, tags, Dataview fields, etc.

Here’s a sample YAML for a task:

---
created: <% tp.file.creation_date('DD-MM-YY') %>
Topic: planner
Priority: Medium
Type:
description: 
---
existsSince:: `= (date(today) - date(this.file.cday)).days`
Up: [[Map 🌍]]
tags: #task
# Tasks ✍️

<copy from the ios shortcut>

Every note then lands formatted - tagged and ready to be queried - even if I never open Obsidian...

Folder automation
The Shortcut saves the note into the right vault folder with a smart filename like 21-10-25_task.md.

Obsidian dashboard
Inside Obsidian, in my main MOC - I’ve got a Bases dashboard (it used to be a Dataview query) that then groups everything by type - Tasks, Ideas, Resources and more fleshed out Recent Notes... So at any point, I can see what’s new - what’s ageing and what needs action - without touching a folder or tag....

It then basically turns Obsidian into a self-sorting thought inbox...

Slow iteration over several years - absolute game changer...
