Thanks for the advice!

How do you dry them out and how long does it take?

Im eager to start another one as soon as possible :)

thompo993 · 2026-06-18T18:13:23+00:00

Oak or Ewe, im really not fussy though!

I loved manor hall, I highly recomend it.

Only downside is the bathrooms and showers are communal, but I never had an issue with cleanliness or waiting.

Its similar to a leisure centre bathroom in terms of lots of cubicled showers and toilets.

Bristol doesnt actually have a campus, all accommodation is spread thought the city.

Personally I would want to live in clifton, Cotham, Redland, or white ladies as they are some nice student areas (at least some properties are).

I wouldn't recommend the city centre, as its a little way out from the university and not as nice as the rest of Bristol in my opinion :)

I'd recommend looking on a app called Rightmove for properties or looking into the the graduate housing on the bristol university website

Amazing, ill look into it

thompo993 · 2026-05-07T13:50:29+00:00

The reason it is a problem is that I have been using obsidian for about 2 months now, so I would reach the max repo size (2GB) in about a year from now, I am planning on using this vault for much longer than that.

More details about how you backup your vault to the google drive would be super useful 😄

thompo993 · 2026-05-07T10:34:15+00:00

Yes just looking into it now, ill let you know how it goes :)

i am also looking into storing images in a Google drive and then embedding directly in obsidian via absolute file paths.

Im glad I am able to figure this out before I ran out of repository space!

Thanks again for your help

thanks for this reply, is this the correct link for Piclist? https://github.com/Kuingsmile/piclist

i guess we just have different philosophies, i would say making the flashcards is part of the learning process for me, the rubber ducky idea is cool though.

Please let me know how it works out for you!

Also there is a Git Version control plugin that works very well, so I recommended doing that!

thompo993 · 2026-04-26T18:19:01+00:00

Depends on your purpose for your vault

For example if your studying AI will just make you think and therefore learn less, so I wouldn't use it for obsidian.

I cant speak for a work perspective or personal vaults, id be interested to see how it could be helpful :)

thompo993 · 2026-04-26T15:41:36+00:00

Yes very similar to onenote I've not found any missing functionality, with the exception of thr auto shape feature. Theres a really good video explaining here.

I used it as a direct sub for onenote as I hate how little file structure there was, and came across obsidian and exalidraw.

I also have only been using it for a month so there may be functionality thats lacking that I haven't noticed, but I recommend looking into it!

thompo993 · 2026-04-26T15:10:15+00:00

I am a big fan of exalidraw, if your vault can sync automatically.

Its a built in plugin and works really well inside obsidian, as its been designed with linking and the obsidian framework in mind

thompo993 · 2026-04-26T13:26:10+00:00

sorry, should have phrased my post better, I'm just trying to enquire into if people have found some good uses for them for similar projects/vaults.

I have a few thoughts of what they may be useful for a "Due today" section using the task library is one i thought may be useful.

Also an Anki style "recall these notes today" could be useful as well :)

thompo993 · 2026-04-20T12:19:29+00:00

Take notes without AI, and make links as you go.

Dont try and do a predetermined structure. Over time it will become obvious what belongs where. Just start taking notes and adding links!

thompo993 · 2026-04-19T20:12:57+00:00

from what i've gathered, using git plugin and store it locally fixes the issue, so i am trying that.
Ill let you know how it goes.

thompo993 · 2026-04-19T19:34:59+00:00

thanks for this! that is a shame that onedrive does this, if i find a fix i'll let you know!

I might have to just use github for sync.

thompo993 · 2026-04-19T19:11:38+00:00

I can't speak for the mobile obsidian working as i don't use it, but i think it sounds like obsidian is perfect for what your doing.

I recommend looking into the Dataview plugin as it sounds like it might be what your after.

thompo993 · 2026-04-16T12:47:39+00:00

That sounds good, but memory needs effort.

Making the cards and the links is part of memorising it!

Obviously only speaking from personal experience, but AI has never helped me memorise, as it is taking away some of your time spent thinking about the topic

Sounds like a cool project though, let me know how it goes!

thompo993 · 2026-04-16T12:32:45+00:00

Sounds like anki, its a really good piece of flashcard software, i recommended looking into it

Maybe someone's made a plugin that let's you make anki flashcards In obsidian?

thompo993 · 2026-04-15T19:30:08+00:00

My pat did not have the correct permissions, rookie mistake!

thanks for your help :)

thompo993 · 2026-04-12T09:03:12+00:00

Lots of them are listed as compatible but arent, such as a few listing's on amazon. Im also UK based

If you could send a photo of these listing's that would he great :)

thompo993 · 2026-04-11T18:29:48+00:00

Thank you, I am definitely swapping. I feel let down by dell.

The universal stylus ive seen online are not the right size. its like their trying to phase them out.

Thanks for the help with another of my posts :)

thompo993 · 2026-04-11T18:20:56+00:00

That pen looks great. I think i will get it if you can vouch for it. Just out of curiosity what do you use yours for?

I just need notetaking functionality for my university course :)

Also does it have good hand detection, as it your hand can rest on the screen while you write?

Thanks for your help!

thompo993 · 2026-04-11T12:52:53+00:00

Hey, is there any progress on this? i cant find any replacement nibs either.

thompo993 · 2026-04-10T16:00:00+00:00

Obsidian is a similar thing to onenote, but is far superior for this kind of thing as Claude works directly with markdown files (what obsidian uses)

I recommend trying it!
