self hosted digital journal?
  • Seconding (thirding) logseq! Your daily journals all show up in one long scrollable page (delimited by the date and such) so you can easily see what happened previous days, etc. If you click one it brings up that page in full screen if you want to focus on it, it works very nicely imo.

    You also aren't limited to just journaling, you can use it for a pkm system. Say that you journal for that day about learning something, you can do this:

    • Today I looked into [[eulers_formula]] ** Created by Leonard Euler ** e^(ix) = cos(x) + i sin(x) ** Etc

    When you go to the eulers_formula page, all of that info will be in the links section without having to leave the page. I personally do all that, then write my own summary of the info on the page itself, so I have the original content and my take on it.

    It's also fully foss, you can pay for their sync service to have it available on multiple devices all the time and it's fully encrypted in transit so they can't see your info, I personally just use syncthing and haven't run into any issues using it on my phone and computer unless you try to modify the same file at the same time (which isn't really something you would ever do)

  • For people which companies made return to the office mandatory, how did it go?
  • My company made a big push for moving everyone in person last year as long as they were within an hour and a half of one of the offices. Between the 8 people in my department and 12 in another department I work with a lot, this affected no one. Even if it did, my department would only end up with 2 people in the same office, and they have relatively separate jobs.

    They were asked several months after the mandate if there was any noticeable or quantifiable increase in productivity, moral, etc... ofc there wasn't but they said they "felt like it was better" . They also mandated that all new hires will be in person at one specific office... The office that they paid for a very large extension to be built at just before covid and just got completed last year. Go figure.

    It was never about productivity, it was always about useless managers needing to act important, and property owners keeping their property value.

  • This ‘Google TV Streamer’ set-top box is what comes after Chromecast
  • I forget the term, but networks where it's a single network for multiple people with different passwords to determine what peers you can see/access cause problems with Google home stuff. My current apartment has that, I tried to use that for my smart home stuff but ultimately had to put it back on my secondary wi-fi network on my router

  • Kamala Harris Launches Presidential Bid: ‘My Intention Is to Earn and Win This Nomination’
  • She has been campaigning... For Biden. That's the difference between being the backup singer and the lead singer at a concert. Sure the backup singer is still on stage and singing, but it's just to support the lead singer, not to show off their own talent

  • No Man’s Sky soars again as new update prompts biggest discount yet
  • I definitely think so (plus I think it's a great game now, even though it was hot garbage at launch). The continuing updates are 100% a labor of love at this point, I'm sure they still sell more copies each update, but not enough to justify the cost if they weren't wanting to work on it. I love me a good labor of love game.

    They've also been working on Light No Fire for ~6 years at this point so they've been doing more than just making new content for NMS this whole time

  • Linux ftw
  • Linux doesn't force automatic updates into your system.

    On windows, the changes go out to everyone all at once. You figure out there's a problem at the same time as everyone else on windows.

    On Linux (with a good it department), pending app/os updates get pulled to testing machine, test to make sure it still works, have supported machines pull down that version.

  • No Man’s Sky soars again as new update prompts biggest discount yet
  • There's plenty to do - it's just sandbox based. There are some questlines you can do, but it's largely meant to be an exploration sandbox game, not something that you're constantly rushing from quest to quest with everything scripted out linearly or have a clear end game, the end game is to do whatever you want

  • No Man’s Sky soars again as new update prompts biggest discount yet
  • Games were over hyped, released buggy, and lacking a ton of features long before no mans sky, nms was just one of the most over hyped - it's also by far the biggest redemption since it now has significantly more content than was ever promised at launch, and all of it has come free instead of in a ton of dlc's or with monetization

  • EDitor wars
  • I'm very partial to doom emacs. I love the emacs ecosystem but the default editor made me want to cry, doom emacs gives the awesome text editing of vim with the awesome ecosystem of emacs (significantly smoother than viper too)

  • Vegan diet just isn’t that fun 🤷‍♂️
  • A lot of pasta sauces have butter in them, personally my favorite pasta sauce is a homemade tomato sauce by Alton Brown (https://altonbrown.com/recipes/pantry-friendly-tomato-sauce/ ), it's vegan even though I'm not.

    I usually do a double batch once a month (more or less, depends on how quick we use it) and it fills up 3 32 oz mason jars with 4-8 oz extra. It's amazing on pasta, pizza, eggs, burgers, meatballs, pretty much anything that's good with tomato. Cheaper and tastier than buying jarred tomato sauce by far, plus you can make it as chunky or smooth as you want by how much you blend it. Only costs a few bucks to make too.

  • Help identifying an old game?

    I've been trying to find a game that I played probably 10 or so years ago. I thought the name was digiminer or digimon or something like that but I know it's not those games.

    The game (from what I remember) was about mining as a robot or in a ship of some sort. It was 2d. Whenever you mined areas it dropped pixels to be picked up that you had to fly/jump/move over to. I think it had a vacuum that you equipped to grab everything? You could upgrade and such to mine faster/larger and have a better pickup area. The mining area was mainly on the right side of the screen I think, the left side was all empty. The game was fully free, and I'm pretty sure that to run it you had it all downloaded in a file then ran the .exe.

    I could be getting some of the ideas wrong, it's been a long time since I played or saw the game If anyone can help identify this game I'd appreciate it! I've been trying to find it for a few years, I remember it being a fun time sink

    Edit: the game was dig-n-rig by digipen

    Ran into an issue with the latest arch Linux update, how to prevent in the futur

    I've been using Linux for the better part of 4 years so I'm not new to it, but I've always learned stuff on an as-needed basis. Today I ran into an issue that I want to prevent in the future since I had a mini heart attack thinking about how my last backup on this system was... Never since I'm an idiot who forgot to set it up like I have on my laptop. Here are my steps:

    • Ran sudo pacman -Syu; sudo pacman -Syy like I do every few days
    • packages updated
    • restarted computer
    • can only boot into emergency mode

    The journal was really long so I moved past it and went to the pacman logs, linux had updated from 6.4.3.1-1 to 6.4.3.1-2. Nothing else was important enough to cause the system to only boot into emergency (gcc, vbox, some libs) so I did a quick pacman -U to the cached 6.4.3.1-1 version for both Linux and Linux headers and rebooted - hurrah it was fixed! But I have no idea why it happened, or how to prevent it.

    Has anyone else ran into this issue when updating? Any advice for preventing future crashes or issues like this so I don't fear updating?

    Edit: Thanks to everyone for your advice! I ended up following multiple bits of advice. I reinstalled arch to get btrfs as the filesystem (didn't have anything important other than some docked-compose files and books yet) and grabbed the linux-lts kernal as a backup as well. I haven't configured snapper yet, but it's on my list of things to do.
