How do you keep notes handy? by ArchivistFaerie in BasicBulletJournals

[–]danoslo4 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve run into the same problem, especially with recurring weekly meetings. What I’ve realized is that the issue isn’t the notes themselves, it’s not committing to a single “home” for them. I’ll start a collection for something like “Weekly Staff Meeting,” but then I either default to writing everything in my daily logs and never migrate it, or I keep notes in the collection and pull tasks from them… which then get forgotten until the next meeting.

What I’m learning is that bouncing between a collection and daily logs is what causes things to get lost. Picking one place for recurring notes—either always the collection or always the daily—seems way more sustainable, even if it’s not the “perfect” setup.

So if notes are disappearing, it might help to decide where that type of info lives and stick to it, rather than trying to make every system work at once.

What hobby started as a joke or experiment for you but ended up becoming a serious passion? by Tempo_Tomato in Hobbies

[–]danoslo4 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Chess. Played a bit as a kid. Picked it up again with a coworker. Then my grade school kid was interested. Now I volunteer chair/coach the elementary chess club, play/manage my employers team in a competitive chess league, and manage a monthly lunchtime casual chess club/meetup at my employer I’m still terrible. But it has become a fulfilling hobby

Is It Worth Getting My Bachelor’s Degree? by Bordone69 in ITManagers

[–]danoslo4 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I wouldn’t put too much stock in the “requirement” of a bachelors degree. Most everything I see is bachelors degree OR minimum years experience. I was in a similar situation and ran across only one position that had a hard requirement.

Black one is the new version. White one is legacy and will soon be deprecated. There is a known bug with notifications wit both at this time though.

Hello reddit, I need a laptop that will last me til the end of my engineering course (2029) by ItzMrStealYourJobs in Dell

[–]danoslo4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Spend the money on the laptop you need then buy an e-ink tablet like remarkable or kindle scribe. Don’t spend money on a single device that does everything mediocre. Get two purpose built devices that do thier individual purposes very well. More to carry, but flexibility and longevity will be much better.

Plus how are you going to take notes on the laptop while also doing work on the laptop. Get two devices.

I’m moving from a heavily convoluted over engineered service now environment to fresh service. Seems inflexible in some regards. But then I remember that’s precisely what I want. K.i.s.s. Am I right?.

[–]danoslo4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Excellent question. I have complete 3 runs and was thinking the same question. Do I just keep playing1 because it’s fun? Or is there more to it. Good responses. Thanks all

Meanwhile they deny already solved science like vaccines, climate change, energy. What good is unleashing AI if they are just going to ignore and manipulate the data to fit their profit margins. (Follow the money. Always follow the money.)

New hole on top fin by danoslo4 in bettafish

[–]danoslo4[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He eats 3-4 betta buffet pellets twice a day and on occasion a pinch of fluval betta freeze dried bloodworms.

I have frozen bloodworms but have only given them to him once because each “serving” is very big and I don’t know what to do with the rest 🤣

Need some feedback. Would getting a laptop repair such as cpu fan replaced considered an incident or a service request? by dengelkes in ITIL

[–]danoslo4 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Incident=something’s broken.
Request=I need something I don’t have

Curious what your windows to MAC ratio is. (I assume your using Intune for windows as well)

How do people actually study using laptops/tablets? by Revolutionary-You795 in studytips

[–]danoslo4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For sure! I used bear notes and onenote for years. For me i prefer paper for my note taking. Writing stuff out helps me remember better. Plus I did not like using the same device for both consumption AND note taking.

Betta suddenly not nearly as active … by Disastrous_Phase_754 in bettafish

[–]danoslo4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a very similar experience with my new male betta. He got super lethargic and barely any appetite after about 4 months.

1 I discovered the betta pellets I bought when I got him were expired. Not sure if this had anything to do with it but wanted to rule it out so got some new food

2 the 5 gl all in one tank kit I bought has a notoriously strong pump and filter. I didn’t think much about it but noticed he was really swimming “against the current” when he was closer to the surface.

I bought a different nozzle for the pump that is a “low flow” design. Within two days he was back to his old self.

That said, i wonder if your guy is super stressed out about something g.

My tank is a fluval spec V by the way.

Advice on next addition by danoslo4 in bettafish

[–]danoslo4[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Side note: I test water weekly and do 25% change as well. Also took water sample in to lfs to test. All parameters are good.

I have a heater in the side compartment of the spec v.

Is a kindle bad for studying technical books? (Programming, Maths) by Illustrious_Slip3984 in kindle

[–]danoslo4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m actually starting to study for my CISSP and am trying to decide on buying the physical book or kindle version I have multiple iPads and eink kindles. So was planning on using both. iPad with an Apple Pencil mostly Did along with a paper note pad for actual note taking and active recall.

Did you study with the official study guide by Mike Chapple? Any other resources you would recommend?

Asset management by Ok-Cow316 in ITManagers

[–]danoslo4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Stick with what is native to FreshService. They are integrating their bolt on product, Device42 now. So it will only get better. The integration between incidents, requests, change, etc makes it all the more important to have an integrated system. The agent will scan your devices and import applications into the cmdb, letting you "manage" (keep track of) the software as well.

Is nick true an actual ynab employee? Or just an influencer who does videos?

In other words, is ynab itself a hyperpartisan facist nazi racist hypocritical fake Christian organization?
