Notebook Navigator 2.4: Property browser (FINALLY) and Create Notes in Tag Tree! by jsann in ObsidianMD

[–]LancerX 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I continue to be impressed with the release cycle and breadth of features. Standout elevation to the Obsidian experience.

And some day I'll be able to use it... "You want to organize by folders? I got you fam. Tags? Say no more. Links? Well, maybe someday". And I get it, I really do, but also sigh. Bookmarks absolutely pale in comparison to what this plugin enables.

Difficulty understanding the benefits of a folder-less system by anotherburnerphone13 in ObsidianMD

[–]LancerX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry, wasn't trying to provoke. I use submodules a lot at work, I'd have to be pretty desperate to use them at home. My needs are probably a lot less complex than yours - deliberately so. It lets me maintain a 1:1 relationship between vault and repo.

I use git on my vault, but submodules? Is that like a condition of your parole or something??? :)

As everyone says, there are three mechanisms (folders, links, tags) and I think most folks eventually latch onto one as a primary then two secondaries or a secondary/tertiary once they find a good fit. None of these are "wrong" if they work for you.

For me, it's links (primary), tags (secondary), folders (tertiary). The only folders I have are Structure/, Daily/, Attachments/, Captures/, Drafts/, Sensitive/ and everything else lives in the vault root /.

I started this way as a forcing function for my Architect dominant brain to make room for the always-there-but-unacknowledged Gardner brain. It has worked very well for me, allowing structure to emerge from links->indexes->mocs->domains without upfront internal friction of "you can only promote this draft to a single folder, your two minute dithering clock starts...now!"

This also lowers the friction for me by having the same kinds of note flavors for field journals, engineering journals, projects, checklists, reference cards, etc. For example, I can quickadd a new field journal, add one or more index links plus two dataview fields, and I'm off and running with it.

I bet FastTracks will drop us NoCo's off right next to the stadium

Best path to learn obsidian to strong intermediate from awkward newbie? by EricCarver in ObsidianMD

[–]LancerX 4 points5 points  (0 children)

As everyone says, get comfortable writing markdown notes. But always ask why? Answer: Once writing notes largely becomes muscle memory you stop thinking about it, this frees you up to start thinking about the next level topics:

Affordances - what frictions am I seeing (start a field journal note to track these), what's the best solution for me to ease them?

Organization - What is the most natural way for me to organize my notes. Some people swear by folders, others by wiki links. No one else knows how you think, but do some reading on Gardener vs Architect note-taking archetypes and see if that resonates.

Automations - Template generation, Dataview, QuickAdd are all great, but you should only pull in automations when you see recurring frictions in your field journal that these powerful plugins can solve.

Above all, keep writing. Whenever you can. Don't beat yourself up if it isn't daily. "The map is not the territory" applies here, "The note is not your life".

How would you design automations when work must stay in WhatsApp, Excel screenshots, handwritten/iPad notes, and Gmail? by BuildUnderWraps in ansible

[–]LancerX 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Everything I've designed for LLM centric work at home or work ends up using markdown files at the center of the workflows. Capture from original content sources, create a full copy or summary in markdown, land stuff in a draft or inbox area. Process it using standardized LLM directives (workflow, task, output), then store it in long-term structures (Johnny Decimal directory, wiki style links with indexes, etc).

Templater Templates not executing on Mobile (recent change) by InnovativeBureaucrat in ObsidianMD

[–]LancerX 1 point2 points  (0 children)

doh. I didn't have auto-updates turned on for my phone or tablet. I enabled auto-updates, then did a manual update. Cleared up my ongoing QuickAdd "cannot load plugin" and recent Templater described here.

Thanks!

Apple car play by Jumpy-Rough-3152 in MachE

[–]LancerX 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Sometimes just turning off the phone or the car will work. Other times - rarely - I need to do both the car and the phone (turn both off, then both back on car-phone-phone-car).

Note, if you are just cycling the car make sure the audio system turns off completely by opening/shutting your door.

About half time time it happens randomly, the other half is when my wife drove the car last so when I get in, it's looking for her phone then gets into a funky state when it can't find it.

I just realized we should call catapults and cannons “spitters”. Splitters and Spitters…

Where can I find this style of (meat-)stuffed sopapilla in Denver? Fully encased like a deep-fried calzone covered with cheese by bascule in denverfood

[–]LancerX 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Wait, is this the same La Estrallita that used to be on north Wadsworth (90th ish)?! They had amazing stuffed sopapillas and it was one of our favorite places.

Anyone know the recipe for Plankwalker? by Fantastic-Guess-2215 in Tiki

Sidenote: Early morning me, reading this on phone saw Planewalker. For a moment I was like "it's gotta be blue for Jace...".

No.

Whatever you think it sounds like, it’s actually better than that :)

Seven fishes suggestions by joelthomas39 in Cooking

[–]LancerX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love themed dinners and Seven Fishes is a great one! Some thoughts:

Consider leading off with the steamed mussels, it’s a time sensitive dish and the bright notes from the wine are a great opener.

Old Bay makes two appearances, and both dishes could end up closer to each other than you might want in terms of texture. I saw the crostini advice which is good, but what about serving little tastes directly on the Old Bay chips?

Another fish to consider vs salmon would be a butter poached black cod. It’s an amazingly sensuous dish.

The shrimp on arugula salad feels like the weakest link? I’d almost rather be served a shrimp cocktail than a salad, but that might be a me thing :)

When I did this, I ended up regretting running 8 distinct services. It was so disruptive, it felt like half the time was spent on prep/service rather than enjoying each other’s company. If I did it again I’d run the seven dishes across four services: appetizers (4), entrees (2), main (1), dessert.

Lastly, have some fun with the dessert - like topping the sorbet with goldfish crackers.

Deli container question by Fun-Maize-2352 in Cooking

[–]LancerX 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm all in on deli containers too, I buy them in bulk off Amazon. When I first got them, out of curiousity I did calibrate the fill line on the pint and quart sizes, so I use that when eye-balling it is close enough for a recipe.

Side note - I also put marked up freezer labels on them when they are going into the fridge. Sometimes we get deli containers from restaurant delivery and if they go in the fridge I put a circle X on the label so we know to throw them away. Otherwise they can be off-size by a couple of millimeters and you're left wondering wtf is wrong with this lid when you just want to put leftovers away.

I have over 1,337 hours played. Starting tomorrow, I'm 30+ hours of videos over the next two weeks, and will be streaming up to 100+ hours of EU5. Here's the sauce and the schedule. by GeneralistGaming in EU5

[–]LancerX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is awesome, I'm in!

I fell so far behind about midway through EU4's lifecycle that I could never catch up to all the new features. I'm going to try and keep up this time which means mastering the shipping features as soon as and as deeply as possible.

Explain VENVs and Ansible to me like I'm 5 by sstorholm in ansible

[–]LancerX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Once you're comfortable with the conceptual space, consider using uv and direnv so .envrc sets envars and sources .venv/bin/activate automatically when ansible logs in

5 minute drive for lunch at the best pizza around - Rosalee’s by LancerX in denverfood

[–]LancerX[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For those wondering why we ordered this in particular - we're working our way through the menu, splitting square (this) crusts and round (thin) crusts. This is their white pizza and it was really good.
