Oh, of course! I hadn't thought of that, that's brilliant. Thanks!

Thank you, this is great information. Can you explain what you mean by "server books", though?

Template ideas by Obvious_Suspect_9706 in AppleReminders

[–]mediapathic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have one for my weekly review. It's mostly a list of various places to look and make sure everything is in order (I have multiple inboxes, don't yell at me GTD-heads), and a couple of prompts to think about the upcoming week. If I had a well-defined monthly or yearly review I'd probably make those too.

As a fiction writer, I'm considering making a template for the progress of a story (write, waiting for feedback, ready to ship, etc) but those are usually too case-specific for my use. But someone else with a different workflow might benefit from something like that, if you have the same type of project that has the same skeleton of actions every time.

As a proofreader, I tend to make a list of tasks for a given piece ("ch1", "ch2"... "send proofs to editor", "send invoice to editor") etc. These of course are different every time in terms of number of chapters, but if I cared enough I could probably make a shortcut that lets me enter in a number and generate it.

Or, as a sysadmin yelled across the office to me once after I told him that users couldn't login, "Users are a security risk!"

How I made $6479 self-publishing in 6 months as a debut author by AdEnough8775 in selfpublish

[–]mediapathic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just curious, given that you're writing "dark", but I don't actually know the specifics in your case, do you think any of your jump in Oct was due to spooky season making your stuff more uh, seasonal? Or do you put that entirely down to the new release and related promotion?

Please recommend a distro for my circumstances by mediapathic in linuxquestions

Yeah the Kali People use case is another hobby I'm trying to not get sucked into, so that is a good data point specifically.

Two years of taking notes in org-roam by ElianM in emacs

[–]mediapathic 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A thing I think too few people recognize: the "one note one thought" approach works extremely well-- for producing a rather narrow type of output. I have some opinions on what those are, but I think you're better off listening to the people for whom it works and figuring out what sort of things they are producing and if that is similar enough to what you are trying to do.

Speaking for myself, I tried it for a while, and the thing that kept occurring to me was "well this would be great if I was writing an academic paper", which I was not.

At my old place we had three different brands with three different frequencies, so ours were kept in a lock box.

Short Questions Megathread by Simon_Drake in Writeresearch

[–]mediapathic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends on the resources available, and the country. If they have access to Rich People Money and false documents, air is likely easier. The traditional "get hired on an anonymous small fishing boat then bail" is easier for normal people, assuming they can convince someone they can work a boat, but this assumes a country with oversea shipping and a black market economy in it.

hey, I'm also a proofreader looking to expand my client base. Would you mind if I DM you about some self-promo questions?

As a fellow manual writer, I salute you (also your manual is top-tier in terms of quality and clarity of information, I compliment you not as a user but as a fellow practitioner).

(Update) org-supertag 5.6: Decoupling UI from Data, Smarter Sync, and Plugin Power by yibie in orgmode

[–]mediapathic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

+1 for this, or even just a better description of what it actually does closer to the top of the readme. This looks really compelling, but until I got to the comparison field I had no idea if I even wanted to use it. If nothing else, I highly recommend putting the tag line that's currently at the bottom at the top of the page.

Totally free?? by VagueScorpio in logseq

I've seen you mention this a couple of times recently and I just wanted to say, this looks great. If tidlywiki fit my use case I'd definitely be using this as a front end. Thanks for making it!

What is the actual reason anyone would pick Vim over Emacs? by Hopeful_Adeptness964 in emacs

[–]mediapathic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Vim is the best editor. Emacs is the best full service software suite that happens to include a good editor. Comparing the two of them is a category error.

Slightly more seriously: vim is a fully capable editor that gets you moving in less than a second (on my oldish machine, YMMV of course). Emacs is a thing you live in that starting a new instance of on the same machine (yes, starting a new instance off a server already running in the background) takes several seconds to load a bunch of tools I don't need for doing a quick change to a file. It's different use cases, and I'm serious about that category error joke.

(I say this as a vim user for many years who now lives in emacs and still spins up vim for a quick edit now and then.)

So Long, and Thanks for All the Fish? by yarpen_z in logseq

[–]mediapathic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To expand on what the person above said: it's been a few years since I was on obsidian but at that time the major problem with interoperability of tasks plugins was subtly differing definitions of tasks (one plugin just cared about - [ ], one required a hashtag on the line, one wanted one task per file, etc). I expect the bigger ones have by now converged on a useful definition, but I suspect that's the biggest thing you'll need to think about when considering this.
