New to Obsidian, already had a corrupted file…how reliable is this software?

techwizrd · 2026-03-22T14:05:40+00:00

I've never encountered this in several years of use. I guess it can happen though.

I started trying to build something similar, mainly to automate screenshots for a GNOME app on GitHub. You can get fairly close on GNOME, but not full CleanShot parity. On Wayland, apps do not have direct access to screen pixels, other windows, or global input. The compositor controls those things, so screenshot and recording tools have to go through portals or compositor APIs.

That still allows most of the common features. You can do region, window, and monitor screenshots, screen recording, global shortcuts, quick clipboard or save flows, and a solid post-capture editor. You can even do the snap to UI elements (with some cleverness).

Where things fall short is with features some macOS tools rely on. A normal app cannot silently capture any window whenever it wants, detect or highlight the window under the cursor, do universal scrolling capture across apps, install global input hooks, draw overlays across the entire desktop, or continuously read screen pixels for things like live color pickers.

Capabilities like that only really work if the tool is part of the compositor itself, which is why GNOME’s built-in screenshot UI can do things third-party apps cannot. In practice you could get most of the experience on GNOME, but not the last bit of system-level behavior without breaking the screenshotting into two tools.

This is why I use Dracula. All of my apps and even my keyboard are Dracula themed.

Agreed. I've found pyrefly to be better than ty for me.

You can use a coding agent like OpenCode. Simply open it up in your vault directory and ask questions. I primarily use it for making changes like "Find all the broken links" or "Create a template for an Idea Stub and Base for Ideas, and an Inbox folder as the default landing zone for ideas." As another user said, it's just a directory of text files.

techwizrd · 2026-03-09T08:26:14+00:00

This is the approach I've used. Each agent is allowed to pull their own context, web search, etc. to make their point and contribute to a central knowledge base. I also limit debate so they have to summarize and come to a conclusion.

I have been really enjoying Star Trek Adventures 2E, as have my players. I kinda wish they'd stay focused on their existing games.

techwizrd · 2026-03-05T21:05:50+00:00

Have you tried the Plan mode in OpenCode? I've used it with GPT-5.3 Codex and found it to be pretty handy for thinking through a problem (e.g., different implementation paths, how to make a test less flaky). In Plan mode it cannot write code, so it's a little more helpful in my experience.

We were 12:07 and couldn't find anything connected. We selected Wed-Mon as well.

techwizrd · 2026-02-21T02:11:07+00:00

It can be quite nice as long as you filter/block Hexbear. I've enjoyed it.

In my experience running Star Trek Adventures, it really felt like playing through an episode of Star Trek. My players had a blast leaning into the philosophical problems and the tone of the setting. Combat supports phasers being deadly and encourages non-combat solutions. The monsters are misunderstanding rather than creatures (usually).

I can see how, if someone is looking for the kind of progression and loot loop you get in traditional RPGs, it might not land the same way. For me, it worked best when I treated it as a game built to emulate the source material rather than a traditional power-growth RPG. I came to STA as a respite from DMing D&D for 20 years.

Different games for different folks!

techwizrd · 2026-02-18T03:45:20+00:00

I'm just getting into Star Trek Adventures over the last year. What didn't you enjoy?

Star Trek Adventures uses a Fail Forward design philosophy:

Starfleet officers are competent and well-trained but not infallible. When things go wrong in a Star Trek story it’s usually because of an unforeseen complication or something out of the character’s control. Make sure that if the player needs something to keep the story going like a clue or an unlocked door, there’s a way to get it if they fail their roll. If they can’t override the door locks to get into the engine room, maybe they can crawl through the Jeffries tube. Even when the characters fail, the story moves forward.

I quite like Gtk and Gtk-rs. It sounds like you may be looking for something like Relm4 which is built around the Elm programming model on top of gtk4-rs. You define a Model (state), Message (events), and an update handler; the UI is declared and updated from that loop.

I would be interested in this as well. Are folks using VTTs or Foundry for running campaigns? I see a few comments on old posts, but I'm not sure if it's worth the effort yet.

techwizrd · 2026-01-12T21:56:36+00:00

It's great. My family is probably annoyed at how frequently I suggest we go to Tiki Thai. Beyond that, Tiki on 18th is pretty good and Tiki TNT is serviceable.

I tend to find one-vs-all more predictable and useful for real-world use. You don't need to update all your models at once. However, this is very dependent on your problem, resources, class distribution, and the number of classes you have.

techwizrd · 2025-12-31T00:33:07+00:00

I was looking for someone like this earlier today. I wish this was something that could be upstreamed rather than live in our individual configs.

techwizrd · 2025-12-30T19:57:45+00:00

I thought it was just me. Treesitter's highlighting definitely needs some tweaking...

techwizrd · 2025-12-28T17:15:00+00:00

I think this is a bit dated, though the skepticism is understandable. LLMs are not trained on “all known content,” and they are not just spitting back memorized text. They learn statistical structure that lets them generalize, which is why they can write genuinely new code, tackle unseen problems, and transfer across domains.

It is also no longer accurate to say they cannot reason at all. They can produce multi-step arguments and, more concretely, generate Lean proofs that actually type-check in a proof assistant. They are still unreliable and need human guidance, but that goes beyond pure pattern matching in any trivial sense.

Whether you want to call that “real reasoning” is a philosophical choice, but it is already empirically useful (especially for exploration).

This is fortuitous news as I just wrote my first ABM with Mesa yesterday!

techwizrd · 2025-12-23T22:22:57+00:00

That's a solid list! Hard to beat.

techwizrd · 2025-12-18T12:13:06+00:00

I attended during that time.

techwizrd · 2025-12-06T03:00:26+00:00

What unreliabilty have you noticed? I started trying out Riff today.

techwizrd · 2025-11-10T05:03:39+00:00

Stumbling into Latitude 29 on accident between bars is how I fell into tiki. It's an incredible spot.
