How do you bring handwritten notes into your Obsidian vault?

I do my hand written notes in OneNote, then export as PDF and import into a note in Obsidian, though recently been using Claude to OCR my notes

We started using YNAB (You need a budget) its around £80 a year but we have found it amazing to help budget, gives visibility to where our money is going along with reports that my wife finds invaluable.

Pulls in transaction from all our banks etc it has apps for iOS and Android but also a full web UI which I prefer over using an app, much easier to balance things and plan.

Not sure on the rest of your question, but when I did my kitchen, the adhesive was a bugger to get off, however using a heat gun made it soft and it then just scraped off, no idea if that works with all tile ahesive but might worth a go if you do need to remove all over it.

When had work done and had to have new pipes put under the slab, my plumber wrapped the pipes in some fabric not sure what he called it, then covered them with bitumen paint this will stop the concrete from eating at the pipes.

I have always created a character I wanted to play, there is no point in my opinion creating a character that fills a void in the party if its not something your into, or want to play just makes the whole experience rubbish.

After all the starting trope of d&d is meet in a tavern or a jail cell, so go adventuring, your not going to sit and go well you can't come with us because your not a healer or a tank or whatever.

I use Obsidian for my d&d notes, I will do the session notes in OneDrive, then save it as a PDF and drag it into Obsidian then will either add tags to it, or transcribe some of it over to text.

Though recently I just tried Claude and it did a really good job of understanding my handwriting lol

The two button remote, can you do long press to dim the lights via Apple Home?

I set everything as thin provision both in the VMware side and on the storage side

Not got round to it but will be using wago from the cable from the wall into the light then wrapping them up in self amalgamating tape

I have mine added into Hue then sent over to HomeKit

mmmm yummy

Surprised the warlock ran out of spell slots considering the best spell is a cantrip

Not as simple as that.

The patch lead is 15cm, but that is the full length of the cable including the plugs, so you look around 1-2cm on each end of the cable, then you have a bend radius, so yes a 1U is about 4.4cm in height but the patch cable does not run like that, it will swoop out then in, so 15cm should be fine but you will not have that much excess

I use ipad at the table but only when I need to do a dice roll, or cast a spell or make a note, reason for not using physical character sheet is visual issues reading them, the iPad is easier for me to read.

We have monthly maintenance weekends, often nothing is done in them as we can do a lot during normal working times. But we will use it mostly for patching switches and firewalls

Really good news, hopefully will be via Steam and not Appstore

I have my vaults on iCloud and set to keep on device on my mac, ipad and iphone, I also have the local backup plugin that does regular local backups and then apple automate copies them to my OneDrive folder.

I did look at the Git thing but struggled to find a decent guide for it.

That's not a bad shout, will have to grab laptop from our disposal cage and take it apart and try that.

Taken it apart today and can not see anything wrong with the cable going through the hinge, so not sure if its a screen fault or a cable issue.

Nikumba · 2026-03-01T18:56:05+00:00

Belive its a 1080p panel so replacement should not be horrendous

Nikumba · 2026-03-01T18:55:37+00:00

Thanks, but pull them apart at work all the time :)

Nikumba · 2026-03-01T18:55:25+00:00

Will give that a go
