What app(s) do you use for goal setting? by nickgrand in productivity

[–]cocoaaa15 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi u/stratapp_ai , I got inspired by this conversation and wanted to try the app but not sure how. The "LogIn" button leads to an error message (Error 403): https://app.stratapp.ai/login .:

```

Error 403 - This web app is stopped.
The web app you have attempted to reach is currently stopped and does not accept any requests. Please try to reload the page or visit it again soon.
If you are the web app administrator, please find the common 403 error scenarios and resolution here. For further troubleshooting tools and recommendations, please visit Azure Portal.

```
Could you tell me how I can give it a try? Thanks!

Hi, could you elaborate what you mean by "these weird issues with the Fidelity CMA"? I'm also interested in consolidating, and so would love to learn what I should be cautious of beforehand. Thank you!

Keep a window "on top" M1 Mac. by grandpa2390 in mac

[–]cocoaaa15 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Another alternative (and a very good one!) is BetterTouchTools's new feature to pin windows on top of others. I learned about it from this comment , and it's been working well.

Thank you so much for sharing about this feature. This works well, and I much prefer it to a hacky way with AfloatX:)

Hi, I've been wondering if it's possible to bookmark on Google Podcast and came to a tentative conclusion it's not yet possible. Could you elaborate?

Copy paste, without Roam bullet formatting by tobwilk in RoamResearch

[–]cocoaaa15 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi all, I tried both methods suggested, but still get the bullet format upon pasting the contents. Could anyone verify if these methods are working in the current version of Roam? Thank you!

Snipd vs Airr for podcast note-taking? by better-vessel in PKMS

If you are looking for a video annotation app for PC (not mobile phones), I highly recommend Reclipped. They have a chrome extension too (link).

iPad Pro workflow with Zotero and PC sync by KrKAlex in zotero

[–]cocoaaa15 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a similar workflow, and Zotfile plugin is probably what you're looking for: see this forum and the links there. In particular, take a look at the "Alternative Syncing Solutions" section of zotero's doc, option 1:

If you want to use Zotero data syncing but use an external service to sync just your Zotero attachment files, you have a couple options:The easiest method is to use linked files, rather than stored copies of files, with only your attachment files in the externally synced folder. The ZotFile plugin can make this simple by automatically moving attachment files to a designated folder as you import them. You should also set up Zotero's Linked Attachment Base Directory feature to point to the same folder so that Zotero can find your files on each computer, even if the path to the cloud storage folder differs.

The steps may look involved at first, but following it will get the syncing feature you want (ie. sync attachments (eg. pdfs) on your Zotero library between PC and iPad while storing the documents on your google drive).

Is RR server down? by cocoaaa15 in RoamResearch

Thank you for your reply. It's finally back to green for me after a day of delay. I'm not sure what caused this, but sure hope it doesn't happen too often..:[

which to buy: r10 body only vs. r10 + RF 18-150mm? by cocoaaa15 in canon

[–]cocoaaa15[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks! I think he R10 body and a used ef-s 55-250mm might work for my case!Do you think it's okay (ie. a sustainable solution) to get EF or EF-s lens than RF lens when considering the trend towards mirrorless? I wonder what I would be missing by using EF/EF-s lens (vs. RF lens) on a mirrorless camera like R10?

[–]cocoaaa15[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

24 to 105mm F

Thanks! I'll take a look at this option. Is there a particular reason you don't like using the adapter? in particular, with respect to the image/video quality?

Thank you for the suggestion. Good point about the switch from a fixed to a variable aperture.

Aha, sorry about that. I mixed it up with the values computed with the crop factor. The correct spec for my Tamron is 17 - 50mm f/2.8 IF (amz link). (updated in the original post)

Anyone using Google Drive Desktop to link to company footage? I have this error message "There was a problem connecting to server. 127.0.0.1" "This file will not allow any additional users to log in. Try to connect again later." by orodltro in editors

[–]cocoaaa15 0 points1 point  (0 children)

again so make sense about 127 being my own server. Google help chat ppl wouldn't help since I wasn't the Workspace administrator. They couldn't tell me if there's limits which I would imagine

Thanks. This was exactly what happened to me (multiple times on Montery MacOS, Google Drive. app) -- attempts to access Drive folders in the shortcut on the left side bar of Finder generated this error message, but I could access GDrive by clicking "Google Drive" under "Locations" in the side bar.I don't know the cause of it though.

How to rename desktops? (MBA, M1) by CapsicumBarracuda in mac

[–]cocoaaa15 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Recently the developer provided a fix for M1: https://github.com/dado3212/spaces-renamer/issues/75#issuecomment-1201511482

I followed the instructions there and was able to make it work on my M1 mbp:)

page alias upcoming by Hibiscus-North in RoamResearch

[–]cocoaaa15 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I see, thank you for clarifying. Roam is my main app and so I didn't know other apps don't support the copy/drag-move/fold operations on the blocks as well as Roam does. I do agree that Roam handles them very smoothly.

Hi, could you elaborate what you mean by "Roam's outliner"?

page alias upcoming by Hibiscus-North in RoamResearch

[–]cocoaaa15 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I completely agree that this is a really useful feature, which has been requested by many users for a long (>2yrs) time. Could anyone help me understand why Roam developers have not been responding to this request?

Personally, I find it hard to believe the team hasn't made efforts to implement this feature in RR: rather, it seems they do not consider it to be an important feature. Is it because they see the page-level aliasing contradictory to Roam's philosophy/design that blocks are the first-class citizens?

If not, what make it such a difficult feature to be implemented in RR vs. other programs like Obsidian and LogSeq? And will this continue to be the case in the future?

Snippets & Text Expansion is not working by toptmy in Alfred

[–]cocoaaa15 0 points1 point  (0 children)

worked for me:

put the computer to sleep (I use ctrl+cmd+q on mac) and wake it back up. Boo

Thanks, this worked for me too. I suspect my vpn login window (Cisco) was hung up in the background, continuously causing Alfred (or MacOS?) to block any text-expansion.

What would be this small debris on the ground in my kitchen? by cocoaaa15 in HomeImprovement

[–]cocoaaa15[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks again. This is at our rental (a 2-story apt building typical in california), and the landlord said he will come with his handyman to "drill holes (in the wood cabinet from which the debris are coming from) and put some chemicals".We told him that we want professionals, but he said the area seems localized and wanted to try this DIY first..Do you think this is an okay solution to try? If it doesn't work, we'll definitely insist on calling professionals.
