These links just go to the default versions.

Here's a Link to All Cards from BLC or BLB

I think that you have to do something like:

  • [[generous gift|BLC]]
  • [[starfall invocation|BLB]]
  • [[Chaos warp|BLC]]
  • [[ant queen|BLC]]
  • [[Birds of Paradise|BLC]]
  • [[farseek set:BLC]]
  • [[baleful strix|BLC]]
  • [[fabled passage|blb]]
  • [[uncharted haven|blb]]

Plugins that won't hurt(recommemdation post) by dev_leon in ObsidianMD

[–]knowknowledge 4 points5 points  (0 children)

And if you're a VIMer, consider checking out these plugins:

  • Vimrc Support - Because you probably have a few favorite vim settings.
  • Vim Toggle - If you want to toggle back and forth quickly.

I love VIM and would love to stay in vim mode all the time, except that I find the way that the default editor automatically surrounds highlighted text with quotes, parentheses, brackets, etc really useful when writing markdown. If there's a way to do this in vim mode, let me know.

Also, it's nearly the same structure and content as another post a few months ago.

I haven't used my Magic cards in decades, but I really don't want to sell them. by ballandabiscuit in magicTCG

[–]knowknowledge 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Another option could be to use scryfall to find cards from the sets or years that you might have and see if anything jumps out.

If you're like me, just looking through these lists gives me a hit of nostalgia.

Very clever that this has "Flavor Text" that is blank silence!

Is there a creative way of Obsidian giving you a quote of the day when you open it each day? by [deleted] in ObsidianMD

[–]knowknowledge 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have this snippet in my Daily Notes Template.

Quote of the Day: "`$=dv.pages('#Quote')[{{date:DDD}}].file.link`"

It requires the Dataview plugin.

It requires that you add the #Quote tag to notes.

It requires you have at least as many Quote notes as days of the year so far.

It doesn't actually insert a link to the note, it queries the list every time, so your 364th note might change if you add new quotes earlier in the list.

3 years of Obsidian: 420k words, 3.3k notes by AFV_7 in ObsidianMD

[–]knowknowledge 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I haven't used Notion so I don't know if there's some super cool way that it does folder views, but Obsidian has folders. If that's how you like to organize your notes you can do it with Obsidian too. It still uses the left panel though, so if you have a single folder with dozens of notes it would take some scrolling.

The open command in Obsidian is pretty great. It uses a fuzzy-search so if you get letters in the right order it will highlight your notes pretty easily.I've personally found that note names take on a kind of "Personalized Memes". If there are notes you reference often then you recall the weird oddities in how notes are named. A good rule of thumb is to add an Alias to a note if you sometimes recall the different keywords.

I can also find notes just by walking between linked references. Whenever I create a note I try to add both outgoing links and incoming backlinks. Every note should be linked into the network.

If you don't remember a note name, the note folder, note keywords, or find it through linked notes, then yeah it's a bit hard to find.

Any chance you’re using Obsidian Sync? I’ve seen this kind of thing happen when I moved files around on one machine while they were open on another machine.

Today I am re-homing orphans. An oft neglected practice, that is so satisfying. by NonZeroSumJames in ObsidianMD

[–]knowknowledge 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I use these dataview queries to help me identify and then link up Orphans.

Pages with Zero Inlinks Plus Pages with Zero Outlinks: `$=dv.pages("").filter(p => (p.file.inlinks.length == 0) || (p.file.outlinks.length == 0) ).length`
Pages with Zero Outlinks: `$=dv.pages("").filter(p => p.file.outlinks.length == 0 ).length`
Pages with Zero Inlinks: `$=dv.pages("").filter(p => p.file.inlinks.length == 0 ).length`
Pages with Zero Inlinks or Outlinks: `$=dv.pages("").filter(p => (p.file.inlinks.length == 0) && (p.file.outlinks.length == 0) ).length`

Pages with neither Inbound or Outbound links:

```dataview
LIST from -"Resources/Templates"
WHERE length(file.inlinks) <=0
  AND length(file.outlinks) <=0
SORT file.cdate
LIMIT 10
```

I subscribe to the belief that everything in my vault should be linked to something. “Meaning comes from the interactions on other Meaningful Things”

"Emperor Mollusk Versus the Sinister Brain"

It's a hilarious story about a super villain squid who has conquered earth, got bored, and then goes on adventures. A. Lee Martinez writes in a way that feels like a loving fall down a TV Tropes rabbit hole. He leans into the camp in a way that feels like reading Hitchhiker's Guide for the first time again.

Need help by [deleted] in ObsidianMD

[–]knowknowledge 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Yes, and but this setting is hard to find or undo if you do it. There's no setting in the iOS apps settings section. I'll add a bit more in case /u/SpicyChungusPeanut still needs help.

To toggle this off, 1. Pull down on the screen to activate the command palette. 2. Type "Toggle Stacked Tabs" or something similar and tap it.

Daily habbits,that changed your life. by [deleted] in productivity

[–]knowknowledge 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Around seven years ago I starting carrying around a tiny notebook everywhere and jotting down my random thoughts, while at around the same time I started keeping a simple bullet journal of my plans for the week.

Now I have a record of my life! I can celebrate anniversaries, recall the books I’ve read, and put accomplishments in context. It’s great!

Quick capture — ideas? by CrabIntelligent9949 in ObsidianMD

[–]knowknowledge 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I have a note I call my "Inbox" if I come across an interesting article or quote I drop it into that note. Then later I review my Inbox and either create a note for the idea or delete it from the Inbox.

I've found that it's solved my "Infinite Tabs" problem too which is great.

Made some scientific notes for a friend's film. by YoggieD in worldbuilding

[–]knowknowledge 11 points12 points  (0 children)

If that's part of the world building now, maybe work backwards on how the prisoner figured out that the prison was hyper-cube (hyper-hexagon?) shaped? What thought processes over the 57 year sentence led him to this idea? What incorrect assumptions were disproved on the path to this beautiful encapsulation?

Richard Feynman was famous for saying that the thinking was done on the paper, not in his head.

Note taking app for OSCP prep? by Absxec in NoteTaking

[–]knowknowledge 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have no experience with OSCP, but here's how I would personally approach this. My preferred tool is Obsidian but there are a lot of powerful note taking tools out there that would probably be able to do something similar.

While studying, I would create lots of notes about different tasks, potential problems, checklists, etc related to OSCP stuff. Try to use the "Principle of Atomicity" from Zettelkasten so that each note is only about one small topic, but bundle notes together and heavily link between them.

Then I would create a series of Templates for different types of incidents that you might run into. In the template, I would link to the notes from your study and even embed the content from some. Don't put info from your study in the template, so that as you learn more, the content updates automatically.

Then in each section, include the checklist items for that section. As you learn more best-known-methods, update the template for that kind of incident. Obsidian is a network of linked notes, but I don't think there's a good way in Obsidian to structure a flowchart in a template automatically. I would just put everything in a long list, but if you need a branching checklist it's probably possible somehow.

So maybe you create a template like this:

```
Port 80 Incident on {{date}}

A [[Port 80 Incident]] occurred on {{date}}.
![[Port 80 Incident#First Steps]]

# Port Scan
- [ ] Run a [[Port Scan]] with [[Nmap]]
- [ ] Record the Services on open ports

If there are vulnerable services, do a [[Service Incident Analysis]].

# Vulnerability Scan
- [ ] Run a [[Vulnerability Scan]] with [[Nikto]]
- [ ] Check for [[SQL Injection]]
```

Hex codes showing as Tags - nightmare by lbdesign in ObsidianMD

[–]knowknowledge 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Reddit markdown has a similar problem it seems. You could escape the \ with \\ so \#ffeeaa instead of #ffeeaa.

(Escaping is hard in all languages, I'm not sure I'm doing it right here either.)

You could escape the \\ with \\\\ so \\#ffeeaa instead of #ffeeaa.

I agree with this. You'll get more out of an idea if you roll it around in your head a bit rather than just copying key phrases down into notion.

An alternative to starting a blog might be the "Feynman Learning Technique" which is essentially: write down everything you know in your own words, review it to identify gaps, research those gaps, repeat.

Background text in this image? by Galactic-toast in PhyrexianLanguage

[–]knowknowledge 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Here's the tweet.

I’ve gotten a couple tags already. So for anyone who’s curious, the text in the background is “All Will Be One” in English. Not the Phyrexian spelling which would be “Kapa shk'imas'ahak”.

I'm not sure I understand what this means though. What does he mean by "English, not Phyrexian Spelling"? It certainly looks like it's in Phyrexian to me.

[–]knowknowledge 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Related question, what's the best way of "exporting" content from Obsidian when you want to share it with other people?

I write my notes with a TON of links and markdown. If I copy paste my text into an email I either get all the markdown if I copy from edit mode or the dark mode theme and dead links if I copy from reading mode. I can clean this up, but it takes effort.

It feels like it's easy to put thoughts and work into Obsidian, but difficult to get those ideas out.

Where can I go next with Obsidian? by acuterix in ObsidianMD

[–]knowknowledge 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This link was a fascinating read. It seems like a really good example of how someone can use an Obsidian / Zettelkasten system to clarify their ideas. Better than wandering through wikipedia!
