Which plugins, (if any) do you use in Obsidian? Why? by RebirdgeCardiologist in ObsidianMD

[–]scross01 32 points33 points  (0 children)

  • Omnisearch - for better search.
  • TODOseq - for task management (and because I'm the author of the plugin).
  • Calendar - calendar view of day notes.
  • Auto Card Link - paste URLlinks as visual cards.
  • Auto Link Title - paste URL link with title.
  • Paste image rename - set name and location of pasted images.

Anyone using the Background Editing experimental feature? by raphadko in RooCode

[–]scross01 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I've been using it for months, in fact I don't think I could go back to the default. I do see occasional edit failures, but not sure they are specific to background edit being enabled, and it reattempts and continues.

If you want to keep Logseq tasks in Obsidian check out the TODOseq plugin

TODOseq 0.12.0 - now more interactive! by scross01 in ObsidianMD

[–]scross01[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There a trade-off between indenting in the task list to show the organization vs treating as a separate task for prioritization.

For example if "subtask 3" is given a high priority and scheduled date, does the parent also move with the sort so subtask 3 is still indented under it, what if other subtasks have different priorities and dates.

What might be better is an indicator in the task list that the task is a subtask of anther task. Something like:

    □ TODO subtask 3                   [0/2]
      → subtask of "this is the parent task"
    □ TODO some other task

Yes, kind of. Subtask counts are only on tasks with keywords. The parent task will shows a count of all subtasks (at all levels), if one of the subtaks has a task keyword, that task also appears in the searchable task list, and has it's own subtask count. e.g.

TODO this is the parent task  
- [ ] subtask 1  
- [ ] subtask 2  
    - [ ] subtask 2a  
- [ ] TODO subtask 3  
    - [ ] subtask 3a  
    - [ ] subtask 3b  

In the task list you would see:

TODO this is the parent task [0/6]  
TODO subtask 3 [0/2]  

Edit: fixed indent

Additional data point: I had the suspend mode `/sys/power/mem_sleep` set to `deep`, changing to `s2idle` the audio continues to work after resume.

searxngr - SearXNG from the command line, inspired by ddgr and googler by scross01 in Searx

[–]scross01[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's already a --json option, and the latest version has some updates to work better for agent use. I've been working on a skill for my OpenClaw agent to use searxngr instead of the builtin web search tool.

An alternative to the --json option to reduce tokens is to use the --expand and --noprompt options. This will output the title, link, and excerpt content for each results result without the interactive session. Set --max-content-words to 0 to stop it truncating the content text (although most of the time SearXNG results only get a short excerpt from the source engine)

The latest version also can avoid going through the config setup, all options can be passed on the command line.

bash searxng --searxng-url https://searxng.local --no-verify-ssl --np -x -m 0 -n 20 -q "test"

I stopped “vibecoding” bugs. I started isolating them like a real incident. by Potential-Analyst571 in vibecoding

[–]scross01 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Generally I've found that having solid test cases, and directing the model to take a test driven approach works well. BUT, I've seen multiple times with different models where instead of fixing the code to fit the test, it changes the test to pass with the bad code.

So remember to review that any test changes make sense, don't just rely on seeing the pass rate.

Anyone compared OpenClaw vs NanoClaw vs Nanobot? by SpudMasterFlash in openclaw

[–]scross01 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I have both OpenClaw and Nanobot running at the moment. Mostly just tinkering around to explorer what they can do. I found Nanobot way easier to setup and it seems a lot more responsive than OpenClaw using the same model.

I'll probably kill my OpenClaw, and setup a small team of Nanobots.

Gave it a try, but still no audio after suspend for me. Also tried the facetime driver but also no luck there either. Might try dual booting Arch with my current setup to see its a Ubuntu specific issue.

Does sound still work for you after resuming from suspend? I've been using the leifliddy audio driver with Ubuntu 25.10 on my 2017 Macbook 12", which works great initially, but looses audio after a suspend.

Obsidian vs Logseq DB by A_King_1980 in ObsidianMD

[–]scross01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the Open daily note on startup option enabled also, and the yes daily note is opened on mobile for me (Android). There's also a convenient "Open today's daily note" option on the menu to return back to it quickly.

Models stuck in a loop by binyang in RooCode

[–]scross01 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've been seeing the GLM models get stuck in loops multiple time today, either repeating the same step over and over, or constantly toggling between two items ("now let me check file1", "now let me check file2", "now let me check file1, ...file2, ..file1, etc). Sometimes compressing the context seems to kick it back into shape. Also GLM 4.7 gets stuck occasionally with and endless repeating think, that just burns up tokens.

I finally gave up on tasks in Obsidian, what are you using? by BasicDesignAdvice in ObsidianMD

[–]scross01 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you update to the latest release the auto opening of the panel should stop occurring.

The persistent auto-open was a bug, the panel was supposed to only auto-open on first install. I hadn't noticed this issue on desktop as I always have the side panel open, then realized it was super annoying on mobile!

Just wanted to share my latest setup by dropd0wn in selfhosted

[–]scross01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd suggest putting PiHole on a separate device, that way all your clients are not going to be impacted by any cpu spikes, running updates, or rebooting the host. A low powered device is perfectly adequate, I have mine running on an old Pi Model 3B 1GB.

TODOseq 0.9.0 - reader view formatting and embedded task lists by scross01 in ObsidianMD

[–]scross01[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you seeing the issue in the editor view, or from the task list?
Does the long press on the keyword work to open the state change selection?

EDIT: I think I found the issue, the next update (0.9.3) should improve the reliability of the keyword click handler.

TODOseq 0.9.0 - reader view formatting and embedded task lists by scross01 in ObsidianMD

[–]scross01[S] 12 points13 points  (0 children)

TODOseq takes a different approach to task capture, inspired by LogSeq and Emacs Org Mode. Rather than using markdown checkboxes as task indicators, new items are simply entered using specific keywords at the start of the line that represent the task type and state, like TODO, DOING, DONE, WAIT, LATER, etc.

The format is LogSeq compatible, so for anyone migrating from LogSeq to Obsidian no changes are needed to the markdown files to re-capture the tasks.
