It really helps but I kinda forget to use it or are not motivated enough to write thoughts down. And the key really lies in just starting without thinking too much about the structure.

I feel like the debugging dopamine comes from the fact that it’s usually a well scoped problem that’s easier to understand than implementing a new feature while still being important. At least that is how I explain it to myself. It sounds like that is taken away from you, since the llm kinda opens up the scope in programming.

I find the topic interesting and want to both experiment with the ortholinear and split concepts. But the main thing holding me back is the same reason I am using zsh and not fish: compatibility. I don’t want to confuse myself with two ways of typing when I need to work on another pc and I will not be using a split keyboard on my laptop for example.

Nice I wanted to play with eink displays at some point but they are still quite expensive.

I know. If you read carefully, I mention that the benefit lies in getting one thing that you can return wholesale and where you don‘t need to debug the origin of the issue yourself.

I bought myself the asrock N100 itx mainboard with ram and drives. Thought that it’s super simple.

I’m now fighting with issues since June. The machine is always freezing after 2 days runtime. Just recently found out that it’s probably the ram stick even though I explicitly bought a stick on the mb compatibility list. Will take probably two more weeks until I get a replacement. I couldn’t use it as NAS in the meantime since I couldn’t be sure that my data is safe.

In my case that’s ok since I’m not dependent on it. You should consider if this level of jank is ok for you.

Otherwise go for the „expensive“ 2/4 bay nas where you can just return the whole thing in case something breaks and you don't need to find out which component is faulty. Have it running reliably otherwise, with software etc set up for you. I underestimated the time investment.

The extended approach with fixed intervals and breaks doesn’t work for me, but I’m using a timer to get started on things that I can’t commit to otherwise. It’s mostly initial momentum in my case.

It’s about field of view. I have the same issue with my calendar and try to make it more visible now.

I’m using the plugin remotely save and sync via WebDAV. Nextcloud provides a WebDAV interface so it’s pretty straight forward, and I can read my vault online via Nextcloud Web. Im mostly happy with it but sometimes there are some sync hiccups if versions of the plugin are very far apart but I also have 5-6 instances of obsidian that I need to keep in sync.

For me the question is if plants can actually hear these distress sounds, otherwise it’s not really for communication.

Yeah I need this too! But for me a long list is in itself overwhelming. So I started to use blank cards (like those in hotels) and only put 3 todos on them with a whiteboard marker. I still have the long list somewhere on my pc but this way, I only ever see 3 calls to action. I tend to make them more specific on the card. This also comes with the satisfaction of wiping away a task when it’s done (I hate a long list with striked through tasks, because I have to scan to find the remaining ones).

Thanks for sharing your story. Very interesting!
