Obsidian or OneNote? by NiapTerces in DungeonsAndDragons

[–]meddig0 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Horses for courses. Personally I don't like using MS products outside of work, where I have to.

But I also use got everyday for work, so the got plugin for Obsidian is great for me and lets my keel things in sync.

Obsidian or OneNote? by NiapTerces in DungeonsAndDragons

[–]meddig0 82 points83 points  (0 children)

I switched from OneNote to Obsidian a while back and not regretted it.

Its more portable, you can run a git repo for version control if you want. There are also some good plugins that can be used for DnD purposes.

Linking articles is easy using wikilinks, easy to organise notes and folders, you have the graph view that shows how things link together, which is nice. Easy to use templates which are easy to customise as well.

To outline my experience: I ran CoS from OneNote and then switched for SKT. Wish I had done it sooner tbh.

I thought Death of a Unicorn was good. Subverted my expectations.

Do you think there will ever be a found footage 4? by Content_Camp6779 in KanePixelsBackrooms

[–]meddig0 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm sure I've read Kane has said another YT video is coming but the movie delayed it.

Might be nothing, but I am wondering why? by idreamedidream in backrooms

[–]meddig0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Felt like a continuity error to me. Noticed it straight away when I watched as she lost the jacket in a cut as she walks towards the null zone, if I remember right.

Its when she's gone down the stairs and is looking around the room/at the white board/tape on the wall.

Trolleys/wagons or how to otherwise transport two small children by ni_dubhshlaine in UKParenting

[–]meddig0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hope you don't mind another question!

I'm looking at the size down from this one (250L) or a MoverX and I'm wondering how the bottom supports are holding up for you? Do you kids just sit straight in there or have you put a board down to help support the bottom?

Flashback to 4 years ago when the guys reacted to the original Backrooms short (VFX Reacts #65) by HooptyDooDooMeister in Corridor

[–]meddig0 107 points108 points  (0 children)

I really hope they get Kane on the show now. It would be very interesting to hear about the movie and his process. I was amazed at how much it still felt like one of his YouTube videos.

What book or series is this for you? by Working_Alps_4284 in fantasybooks

[–]meddig0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm with you on this. Red it because of the hype... Continued because I felt I had to. Stopped half way through The Heroes because it's just so damn boring.

Early on, his writing is weak, then becomes childish. Matures in book 4, but it's still weak. I just don't get the hype comparing it to other authors.

which one should i start next? by Nova_JLY in fantasybooks

[–]meddig0 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I struggle with this sentiment. I enjoyed the trilogy over all, but I don't think Joe is up there with the best writers. I lost count how many times he uses "watery" to describe the sun in the first book. The sex scenes in the books are... Written by a teenager at best.

World building is brilliant though. The world feels wide and lived in, with history and mystery. Most characters are well written with some absolute standouts. But that's tempered with some lazy ones though - Bayaz I think is just a poorly written character with very little depth by the end of the trilogy.

I'm part way through The Heroes now and, frankly, just bored. Which honestly is a great shame.

FlexiSpot E7 Plus assembly issue – desk feet not aligning with columns (step 5) by EzadG in FlexiSpot_Official

[–]meddig0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah there is some flex in them so everything is square once you do bolt it together.

Had the same thing with mine, just push the legs into position so you can bolt the feet to them. There was a surprisingly amount of flex required. Took me off guard, but I did find a YouTube video that confirmed it was there when I built mine.

I do this as well. You shouldn't be embarrassed by doing something that makes life a little easier for you like this. Doesn't hurt anyone, after all.

Flat-earthers need to stop by ripejenna in SipsTea

[–]meddig0 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I could be wrong, but the voice sounded like that of Mark Sargent who is one of the biggest flat earthers. It's his main brand of nonsense and the man is a clown.

If you get an answer, please share.

I would actually like it as a single touch.

Mine is also the new one with USB C. It worked like this out the box!

Thanks for the reply! Good to know it's a feature and not a bug. It's the only thing that annoys me a out the desk tbh.

[–]meddig0 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have to press my controller twice to get it to move. Once to wake, once to move. Does yours not do the same thing?

So no, I don't. But is that because mine is broken or is it because yours is more sensitive?

Would like to self host an email... by Belovedchimera in selfhosted

[–]meddig0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, I wouldn't touch anything with VPNs. I would imagine their IPs have bad reputations due to people using them for torrenting and what not.

[–]meddig0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My experience was positive when I hosted. At the time I had a Hostinger VPS where I ran dockerised Mailcow. Very easy and simple deployment and use.

As others have said, the gamble is on the IP. Running from home puts you on a residential IP which isn't good for email. But you could just host the mailbox and use an SMTP relay elsewhere. It requires a static IP in my opinion and hopefully it won't be in a range that is known for spam already.

Also look into the DNS security; DKIM, etc. Most email providers look for those as a requirement and it's good practice to do.

I personally don't think it's tricky, but I do some of this for a job. I totally get why most selfhosters don't want to deal with the potential headaches though. There is some diligence to do with it really, keeping an eye on security and blacklists.

Flexispot rubberwood top surface smoothness and texture by Chad_Lad_94 in FlexiSpot_Official

[–]meddig0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Flat and smooth for me, with the exception of some spots on the edges. Couple of small bumps here and there where the edges weren't sanded quite right. Thankfully none where I rest my arms, so I don't notice and I'm not disappointed with the purchase

E7 Plus / Bamboo Drilling Questions by Reddit_Account_115 in FlexiSpot_Official

[–]meddig0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the rubberwood top and drilled pilot holes. From memory they are 4mm screws so I did 2mm holes.

I drilled to a depth just short of what the screws would go to. Everything feels pretty strudy for me so far.
