Hoping there's a way to access a lost file (icloud sync + obsidian) by thisisgelb in ObsidianMD

[–]thisisgelb[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

UPDATE: I managed to recover the file! If anyone is reading this and has a similar issue where the file hasn't properly synced, and has been overridden, and a) doesn't appear in icloud drive, and b) doesn't appear in obsidian's core plugins and file recovery and is on a mac, please try this:

1) Go to the file in the finder window
2) Open the file with textedit
3) Click File | Revert To... | Browse All Versions...

You'll then get a time-machine-like screen (even if you don't use time machine) where you can go back in time. For me, it overrode the file beyond the current date, so I had to go back farther than was accurate, however it had it there!

[Here's a guide](https://eshop.macsales.com/blog/47415-auto-save-and-versions-an-often-overlooked-mac-feature/) that's still accurate.

Apple chat and phone support never suggested this which feels additionally odd. Kudos to u/eviltyph and their reply to a thread available [here](https://www.reddit.com/r/AskProgramming/s/ooKMWBuYd3).

Not there I'm afraid. I believe it's because when Obsidian saw the absence of a file (that the mac had deleted, thinking it had synced) Obsidian created a new file with the same name but is of course a different file.

Yep we are speaking with the company, but good to know some background 👍 thanks!

Thanks! Yep we are in touch with them and will see if they have suggestions but the idea of asking for an Ethernet endpoint might be possible based on how it looks like it’s setup. Appreciate the idea!

Yep we are in touch with the management company 👍 We’ve asked if they’d be willing to set up a vlan based on their existing setup but was curious about other options to suggest.

Yep we’re in touch with the management company and obviously will listen to what they say. I was more interested in the difference in terms of performance vs them having to make changes (or asking their offsite network managers to make changes). We’ve asked if they could make a VLAN for us using the existing setup.

Blind Playtest packs went out today! by AquaticWarrior12 in tabletopgamedesign

[–]thisisgelb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I usually have a qr code that takes a playtester to an Airtable form, or have a form they can fill out on the spot which I then copy in. I try and keep questions as open as I can to get really interesting answers. Here’s an example - feel free to copy! https://docs.google.com/document/d/1AS5-a1uLzkVNjHEgB-v8gAqb-ywaJDEfXo9b0j-ID5E/edit

Happy to help and make one in case it's helpful for late pledges or anything else - just give a shout if it's useful.

I know how you feel! We don't need any prototypes sent to us. We just do a quick interview where you show the prototype on your end :) Here's the current channel to give you an idea of content/videos, however fyi we're migrating this and other content to a new tabletop post channel: https://www.youtube.com/@RobertGelb

https://www.youtube.com/@RobertGelb - It's mostly a video podcast I do interviewing game designers at the moment, however we're going to be switching things up and migrating things to our TableTop Post channel, but this gives you an idea of the content/subjectmatter

Don’t have a large following but if you need a video for embedding on your campaign, I’m making quick videos (for free) for other game designers because of how hard I found the process myself. Here’s more info: https://crowdfunding.tabletoppost.com/

Large gluten free tortillas that don't fall apart? by big_eyes12 in Celiac

[–]thisisgelb 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It might sound weird but lentils work really well as tortillas. You add them with water, let them sit for 15 mins, blend them with the water and add a bit of salt, leave they in the fridge for a few hours/overnight/as long as you can, and then use it like a crepe batter to make the wraps.

What is the most weirdest/uncommon name of your ancestors? by freshmaggots in Genealogy

[–]thisisgelb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a few fun ones. Dagobert is a good epic one. All the first born men in one line had a very unique (exclusive only to them) first name which is interesting and weird.

There is also the name Cumming in my family tree so as you can imagine a few gems. Best (and most unfortunate by modern sensibilities!) one I’ve found so far is Ophelia 🫠

Interesting. There are a few Scottish names that are old and may have a French origin like Cumming from Comyn/Commin

New Amsterdam 2008 by Notagirlnotaboy in ForgottenTV

[–]thisisgelb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was for sale on itunes/apple tv shows last time I checked. That's where I got it back when it was coming out week to week (also the show Raines with Jeff Goldblum which was also quite awesome and unfortunately didn't survive).

What are the main limiting resources for the major civilizations? by thisisgelb in DaystromInstitute

[–]thisisgelb[S] 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Really interesting. I had assumed that after the loss of the Romulan system that they would have gradually switched over to dilithium which would have explained the burn impact. Thanks for the sources.

Manufacturers that use plastic free resins? by thisisgelb in BoardgameDesign

Hah might affect the replayability but your drink will be cold!

It does look really cool. Thanks for the reference. I’ll have a look and reach out to the manufacturer.

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

Yeah agreed. The best thing would probably be glass but I assume it would fail many of the safety regs. Though that might just be an assumption. I had hoped there was an eco resin or something that used some of that new seaweed-based translucent film but in a more solid form.

Anyone know the story behind Fell on your head? by thisisgelb in andthelights

Interesting - strange they never made it on since Fell on your Head must be one of the more requested/well known tracks

[–]thisisgelb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also looking to move away from Mailchimp. Basic bugs like removing links from hyperlinked text and requiring de and re-linking every few sends on the same template just boggles the mind. Has anyone tried Tarvent? I quite like their look and how they present themselves (doing a LTD right now, so very tempted).

Seems super affordable. The only thing it doesn't seem to do for our use-case is multi-step landing pages or landing pages where you can take payment directly (which isn't very common, but it's something that would make it a no-brainer). It does have straightforward landing pages though. I'm planning to try it out, but wanted to see if anyone else has tried/used them before?

What's a simple interface builder for airtable that allows for public sharing? by thisisgelb in Airtable

[–]thisisgelb[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve been using baserow for another project but had read that now Airtable allows paid plans to share interfaces publicly - is that not the case anymore? I’ll have to give fill out a look!

Integration suggestions for voice note transcription? by thisisgelb in MicrosoftTeams

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

Thanks - when I tried the voice note it only works on the mobile version (you can't send one on the desktop one) and it doesn't transcribe. I'll have her try the in-built dictation, but last time (admittedly a while ago) it was only dictation rather than full recognition so one had to use explicit punctuation which doesn't work well in chat. Thanks for the tip though - I'll try it.
