I started using Zettel notes (Android) a few weeks ago for this very purpose. Be careful. During my testing I added my whole vault to Zettel and it worked well. Then I deleted the Zettel repository and it really messed things up and deleted my Obsidian notes. User error for sure but it's worth noting. I'm still using Zettel but pointed at its own folder within my vault. This keeps things more separate in case of disaster but gives Obsidian access to all my Zettel notes. Lessons learned. Thank goodness for backups!

I have a trip coming up so I've been trying out this #Obsidian plugin for building Itineraries. https://github.com/coddingtonbear/obsidian-itinerary?tab=readme-ov-file. It's a nice way to keep things in markdown and have the plugin present them in the form of a calendar. Using it in conjunction the Templater plugin is nice because you don't have to remember the syntax for making an entry. Not really sure if it makes sense to use over some kind of calendar app or an app like Tripit. Testing continues.

The Rhode Island Computer Museum has a good story about getting calls from someone wanting to buy one of their museum piece computers. They're like, "Naw; we're good." The calls got more frantic.

Turns out a nuclear power plant in Europe was still using the same system, and it was failing.

They came to an agreement: You can borrow it, until you upgrade to modern equipment. And then return it.

If you want to archive your Mastodon or other app/site feed posts into Obsidian as separate post entries, I wrote a post about how to use the Simple RSS plugin to do that.

#Obsidian #Tutorial #Inventory #ADHD

Obsidian as a resilient hardware inventory tracker. This might be untidy and I will write up a better tutorial once i set things up for blogging.

1. Install Kanban community plug-In. This is not necessary but it is a nice way to track states of items and get them displayed.

2. Create a new board dedicated to the inventory and set up your first list. I like to start with "Inbox". (1/9)

#Obsidian #ObsidianMD @obsidianmd

@liztai Your dataviews wil evolve and that might be a challenge when you have dataviews in your templates that you then likely want to update too.

My solution to that is to put a #DataviewJS snippet in the template that loads another note (call it a #Dataview #template) where the actual Dataview lives.

The code to load that other note:

```dataviewjs
dv.span(await dv.io.load("/full_path_to/note.md"))
```
Works like a charm and it makes life much easier.

I created a system for automating creation of "repost-of" Mastodon Boosts on my site. https://techlifeweb.com/blog/2024/04/2024-04-30-post-222614/ #11ty #Obsidian #indieweb

My System to Automate Repost-Of Mastodon Posts

Scott Kingery — Tue, 30 Apr 2024 23:26:38 PDT

Sometimes I build crazy things. I get an idea for something and then I attempt to cobble it together. Mostly non-repeatable by anyone other than me but they keep me entertained. I'd rather spend hours trying to figure things like this out than play video games.

Recently I was thinking about how I could ease the creation of Mastodon Boosts in the form of using the Indieweb idea of a "repost-of".

From that link:

Why implement reposting:

Retweet from your own site. Incrementally supporting reposts, especially with POSSE to Twitter, enables you to "retweet" from your own site, rather than depending on Twitter to do so.

This in turn ensures a copy of anything you retweet on your own site, in case the original is deleted/removed etc.

The side benefit, for me, is I can search my own content for that link that I thought was interesting at some point.

Sure, I could just click the "Boost" button on my Mastodon client but that's just too easy. Instead, with my new system, I click the Bookmark button and that unleashes a crazy stream of events all in the effort of doing repost-of.

The first piece of this "house of cards" is a nifty service called Mastodon Bookmark RSS. It's fairly straight forward but, Fabrizio Musacchio has a great write up on how to use it here: How to get an RSS feed of your Mastodon bookmarks

The next piece requires a bit of background. This site is built with Eleventy (aka 11ty). Eleventy is a simpler static site generator. Among other things you can use simple Markdown to create the pages. I have the wonderful PKM tool Obsidian sitting on top of my 11ty source folder. In Obsidian terms, the Source folder is an Obsidian "Vault". This lets me interact with the files using Obsidian as a kind of "Front End". That works well for site content. For 11ty code manipulation I can light up VS Code and work with the tiles that way instead.

Inside the above mentioned Obsidian Vault I am running a plugin called Simple RSS. And the Templater plugin. Templater does the magic of converting code slugs into usable things like dates.

Simple RSS does the work of pulling in the feed that I set up in Mastodon Bookmarks to RSS. For that you have to go to the plugin's setting and first create a "Feed Type". I used the creative name "Mastodon" for mine. It looks like this:

Next, you need to set up the feed. You choose a name, enter the url. The "Type" is the one you created above. The posts get pulled in an placed in the folder you enter into the path field. In the title field I use the title the feed has for each entry. That code is particular to this plugin. Then in the template I have a bunch of code for how I want the post to look on my website. Getting this right can be a little tricky because you don't have tons of control over the actual body section. Mine looks like:

You can have the plugin run on a schedule or you can just click the icon in your Obsidian sidebar and it will pull in the latest entries.

The template I've created is built with microformats that Bridgy understands. When my site is built and uploaded I have a script that sends a Webmention to Bridgy and it does the magic creating a repost on Mastodon on my behalf.

Yep, it's a kind of crazy but it was fun to figure out. And, if it stops working, not really the end of the world.

Obsidian Tasks Custom Statuses

Scott Kingery — Mon, 01 Apr 2024 22:20:44 PDT

Earlier this evening I was trying to figure out if I could have Obsidian Tasks community plugin https://github.com/obsidian-tasks-group/obsidian-tasks alongside checklists. The Tasks plugin is nice for many reasons. One being that it prompts you with some values to help you set due dates and also automatically records when you complete a task. You can turn off the default stamping of completion dates but I find it handy.

In my mind, a checklist doesn't really need a date completed. Let's take a Packing List as an example. If I mark the "Shirts" item as done that merely indicates to me that the item is in my bag I have no reason to have a date on there.

The solution to this is custom statuses in Obsidian Tasks.

In Obsidian Tasks settings you can set all kinds of custom statuses. Here I have set 2 of them. What this allows is for me to create a note and put in the markdown something like:

- [?] Shirts
- [?] Socks
- [?] Jeans

When I click on one of the list entries, it fills the check box with 'o'. In other words, lets say I've packed my Shirts and Socks, the list would look like:

- [o] Shirts
- [o] Socks
- [?] Jeans

The advantage here is that the way I have these states set up in the settings, neither one is a 'DONE' state to the Tasks Plugin. Thus, we don't get the date stamp. Exactly what I want for this purpose.

Here's the non-markdown view of the above:

Happy list making in Obsidian!

Pro tip: When you are done configuring your home router, open the web interface and go through each section. Take screenshots and paste them in to Obsidian or your PKM system of choice. Maybe even go as far as making a note as to why you set something the way you did. You'll thank me later. #Obsidian #pkm

The one drawback is a "parent" makes children siblings. So even if children have the same mother and different fathers they appear as siblings in Breadcrumbs. So close.

Okay, this is ridiculous. The NYT is recommending Cascade somehow as the best dishwasher detergent. The last two people who serviced our (now 15-year-old) beloved and very quiet Miele dishwasher said don't ever put that crap in your machine.
We used the exact same pods recommended by NYT and it made our dishwasher stink and it didn't get things clean.

My wife ended up making a homemade version that uses mostly natural stuff plus a pinch of something like Oxyclean. Best detergent ever used, and that's all we use now.

In case anyone is interested, here's the recipe:

DIY Dishwasher Detergent
YIELD: 4 1/2 CUPS / 2.2 LB (ENOUGH FOR 36 LOADS OF DISHES)

1 cup / 225 g super washing soda (sodium carbonate)
1 cup / 225 g powdered oxygen bleach (sodium percarbonate)
1/4 cup / 62 g table salt (sodium chloride)
50 drops lemon essential oil
12 drops peppermint essential oil
10 drops lavender essential oil

Washing soda and oxygen bleach are skin sensitizing. I recommend wearing nitrile gloves while you prepare this DIY and washing your hands afterward.

Mix dry ingredients. Add washing soda, powdered oxygen bleach, and table salt into a large, non-metallic mixing bowl. Whisk to combine.

Add essential oils and stir until everything is thoroughly combined.

The essential oils will accumulate in small clusters at first. Keep
stirring to break them apart.
Transfer the detergent powder into an airtight glass jar or storing
container. Store sealed in a dry place, protected from moisture.
Use about 2 tablespoons per load.

When Nichelle Nichols told Gene Roddenberry that she wanted to quit #StarTrek he begged her to sleep on it.
That night she met Martin Luther King Jr. and he told her she simply could not quit.

“Gene Roddenberry has opened a door for the world to see us. If you leave, that door can be closed."

She went back in on monday and stayed a part of the franchise.

When NASA realized it was a sausage party they recruited her to spearhead their diversity program and she brought countless women and people of color into the space program.

After filming her first season of Star Trek Discovery, Sonequa Martin-Green met Nichelle on the red carpet premier and tried to tell her how hard she had worked not to let her or the franchise down.

Nichelle pulled her in close and whispered "Take care. This is yours now."

One year and one week and one day ago she left us mortals. but the changes and progress she helped make will always be with us.

What you need to know about the new ETIAS requirements for traveling to Europe

Scott Kingery — Sun, 30 Jul 2023 10:35:22 PDT

If you are dreaming of exploring the beautiful sights and cultures of Europe, you may need to take an extra step before booking your flight. Starting in 2024, American passport holders will need to apply for an online authorization form called ETIAS (European Travel Information and Authorization System) to visit 30 European countries.

ETIAS is not a visa, but rather a security check that will allow you to stay in Europe for up to 90 days within any 180-day period23. It will cost you 7 euros (about $8) and will be valid for three years or until your passport expires.

The ETIAS system is similar to the ESTA program that the U.S. implemented in 2008 for travelers from certain countries. It is designed to enhance border security and prevent terrorism and irregular migration.

To apply for ETIAS, you will need to fill out a form online or on your mobile phone, providing personal information, passport details and answers to some questions about your health and criminal history. You should apply at least a month before your trip, as the approval process may take up to 30 days in some cases.

You can check the full list of countries that require ETIAS here(PDF) ''. Some of the popular destinations include France, Italy, Spain, Germany and Greece.

So don’t let this new requirement stop you from planning your next European adventure. Just make sure you have your ETIAS approval ready before you board your plane, train, bus or cruise ship. Happy travels! 😊

Stay up to date on the current information by visiting the official ETIAS website: https://travel-europe.europa.eu/etias_en

Quick reminder that at least a decent chunk of the forests *still burning* in Canada were part of the "offsets" countries and companies pay for as credits in Carbon Trading schemes meant for them to keep polluting guilt-free.
The "offsets" are now in the atmosphere heating the planet. As well as the original emissions.

Good stuff. /s

@jessica I think your question is really about backfeeding of "likes" and "comments" to your site via webmention. I'm not really sure why anyone would question an outgoing webmention. I've seen arguuments against backfeeds because someone commenting, for example on Mastodon, and having it land on a webpage they never interacted with is confusing and disconcerting for some.

We're seeing a large influx of new users, so here's some helpful Mastodon tips:

Liking a post does not affect its visibility. Instead, use the like button to let a user know that you find them to be irresistibly attractive and would like to become their internet soulmate.

Instead of saying orthodontist on here, we say mastodontist. This is important to know.

Tell us about yourself! Write either "pro-cannibalism" or "anti-caniballism" in your bio to avoid simple misunderstandings.

Were the government to simply demand access to a device's location instead, it would be considered a Fourth Amendment “search” and would require a judge's sign-off. But because companies are willing to sell the information—not only to the US government but to other companies as well—the government considers it “publicly available” and therefore asserts that it “can purchase it.”'

A Day on Earth Used to Only Be 19 Hours
The Moon formed when a Mars-sized object slammed into the Earth billions of years ago. As the Moon orbited around the Earth, its tidal interactions carried it slowly away from the planet, slowing down Earth's rotation. For about a billion years, a day on Earth lasted 19 hours before it continued to slow down to the current 24-hour day. Geologists have developed a new technique for measuring the length of Earth's day using sedimentary layers that change over long periods following the Earth's orbit and rotation.

It means that I can just prepend [highlight:: ... ] inline while taking regular notes, and this one page brings them all up in one place.
I do the same for other things I want to extract from across the vault (ideas, concepts, bookmarks, random-thoughts, etc). I have a folder called "Extracts" and one page each for each of these keywords.

I suppose if the outputs do get out of hand in terms of the number of results returned, I can additionally filter by file creation time and append a Vol - I, Vol - II, ... etc. to the files.

The Hundred-Foot Journey (2014) - IMDb IMDB 'The Kadam family leaves India for France where they open a restaurant directly across the road from Madame Mallory's Michelin-starred eatery.' Warning: Spoilers

If you've ever seen this movie you'll know the "Hundred-Foot Journey" is the distance between these establishments and the lives of the people involved. I thought it might be interesting to track every time the "Journey" is made.

Madam Mallory -> Maison Mumbai when they are looking at buying it
Madam -> Maison Mumbai when they are renovating and they show her the menu

Madam -> Maison Mumbai to photograph chicken

How to follow a hashtag on Mastodon with RSS

Scott Kingery — Sun, 30 Apr 2023 16:50:54 PDT

To make sure you are seeing all the interesting post on a particular hashtag on Mastodon, you can easily follow them when logged into Mastodon. But wouldn't it be cool to have these posts delivered straight to your RSS reader? The good news is, its easy. You just need the right URL. To do that you need: the server address of your Mastodon instance and the hashtag you want to follow. Then you form it like this:

https://[your_mastodon_server]/tags/[yourhashtag].rss

For example, if you are on mastodon.social and you want to follow the hashtag #sandiego you would use:
https://mastodon.social/tags/sandiego.rss

Click the above link and you'll see the RSS!

Now just copy that link into your favorite RSS reader and you'll never miss a post on your favorite topics.

Airbus Designs a Space Station with Artificial Gravity
The International Space Station has been orbiting the Earth every 20 years, with astronauts continuously on board. Some of their missions have lasted as long as a year, showing weightlessness's effect on the human body. To truly live and work in space for years, we'll need an artificial gravity system to help astronauts protect their bone and muscle mass and prevent other issues like vision loss. Airbus released new designs for a new space station called LOOP, a multi-purpose orbital module with many features, including a centrifuge to give astronauts artificial gravity.

I've had the problem with my new screen for several weeks now, that every now and then the screen goes black for a few seconds.

Today I had enough and wanted to investigate the problem. So I started changing all the cables, plugging the screen into a different socket, and and and. Nothing helped.

That doesn't include Fido / Yubikeys but does include Auth tokens.

Fixing Microsoft Edge DNS

Scott Kingery — Mon, 24 Apr 2023 20:01:00 PDT

I was having an issue where Microsoft edge was not resolving www.amazon.com. My router is set to ensure all clients use the DNS servers I want them to use. I think this was what was causing the issue. To fix this, I went into Edge's DNS settings by going to this URL:

edge://settings/?search=dns

Then turn on "Use secure DNS to specify how to lookup the network address for websites"
and select "Use current service provider" see screenshot below.

Doing this fixed the issue and Amazon.com resolves as expected.

People use large language models to generate text and images, but the underlying transformer architecture can work on any kind of data. A group of researchers wanted to know what would happen if you fine-tuned a large language model on only astronomical data. According to their paper, the model could classify astrophysical phenomena, distinguish between types of gamma-ray bursts, and calculate the redshift of galaxies. This could be a handy assistant for future research.

How to get around the Twitter algorithm

Scott Kingery — Wed, 12 Apr 2023 18:12:31 PDT

If you're like me, you probably hate the Twitter algorithm. You know, the one that decides what tweets you see on your timeline based on some mysterious criteria. The one that shows you tweets from people you don't follow, or tweets that are hours or days old. The one that buries the tweets from your favorite accounts or topics under a pile of irrelevant noise.

Well, I have a solution for you: Twitter Lists. Twitter Lists are a way to create your own custom timelines based on the accounts or topics you choose. You can make as many lists as you want, and they will only show you the tweets from the accounts you add to them. No more algorithm messing with your feed!

Here's how to set up a Twitter List on mobile:

Go to your profile
Tap on Lists.
Tap on the plus icon in the lower right corner to create a new list.
Give your list a name and a description (optional).
Tap on Create.
Tap on Add members to start adding accounts to your list. You can search by username or browse by category.
Tap on Done when you're finished adding accounts.

On your computer you can add people to Twitter lists on a web browser by following these steps:

Go to the Twitter website and log in.
Click "More" then “Lists” from the menu at the side.
Click the “New List” icon at the top.
Fill out the Name, Description (optional), and set the list to either be Public or Private.
Click “Next”.
Click “Add” on the Suggested accounts that pop up if they are relevant. If not, click “Done”.
To add people to your list, click on their username on any of your existing Twitter streams and click “Add To List”.

To add people you are following to your list I find it easiest to the following:

go to https://twitter.com/YOUR_TWITTER_NAME_HERE/following
Click on the username of the person you want to add to your list, , click on the three dots, select Add/remove from Lists, and then choose the List you want to add them to

Not going to lie, it's very tedious and time-consuming. You have to do this for every single person you want to add. Why can't there be a faster and easier way to do this? Like a drag-and-drop feature or a bulk selection option. At this point in the tire fire that is Twitter, this isn't likely to improve. I used the opportunity to go through my Following list and unfollow accounts that don't tweet much or lately and the ones I've lost interest in. Then I added to my new List the ones I really don't want to miss. Then, slowly when I have some slack time, I add more.

The plus side of all this tediousness is that, looking at the posts on my new List, I'm seeing posts from accounts I've forgotten about and didn't even know they are still tweeting! That, my friends, is why the algorithm sucks.

That's it! You can now access your list by going back to the Lists tab and tapping on it. You can also pin your list to your home screen for easy access by tapping on the pin icon next to it.

You can create as many lists as you want, and edit or delete them anytime. You can also make your lists public or private, and follow other people's lists if they are public.

Twitter Lists are a great way to customize your Twitter experience and avoid the annoying algorithm. Give them a try and let me know what you think!

Quick Review - Soundcore Space A40 Wireless Earbuds

Scott Kingery — Tue, 11 Apr 2023 17:44:57 PDT

If you're looking for a pair of wireless earbuds that can deliver high-quality sound, block out unwanted noise, and last for hours on a single charge, you might want to check out the Soundcore Space A40 earbuds. These are the latest noise cancelling earbuds from soundcore, a brand known for its innovative audio products.

The Soundcore Space A40 earbuds have several features that make them stand out from the crowd. First of all, they have adaptive noise cancelling technology that automatically adjusts to your environment. Whether you're in a quiet office, a busy street, or a noisy airplane, the earbuds will reduce noise by up to 98% and let you enjoy your personal space.

Secondly, they have soundcore's pioneering double-layer diaphragm drivers that deliver sound with strong bass, clear mids, and bright treble. The earbuds also support LDAC technology for high-resolution sound and have a HearID Sound 2.0 feature that lets you customize your sound profile according to your hearing preferences.

Thirdly, they have an impressive battery life of up to 50 hours with the charging case. You can listen for up to 10 hours on a single charge and get an extra 4 full charges from the case. The earbuds also support wireless charging and fast charging for convenience.

Lastly, they have a comfortable and lightweight design that fits snugly in your ears. The earbuds come with 5 sizes of flexible silicone ear tips to ensure a stable and noise-blocking fit. They also have 6 microphones and an AI algorithm for clear calls and a transparency mode for hearing your surroundings when needed.

One of my favorite features that they go into pairing mode as soon as the case is opened. This way, once paired, they are ready to go by the time you put them into your ears. Also, they can be used in mono mode in either ear. Even with hear-through modes with the app I like to use a single earbud when walking to keep alert to traffic or other people.

The Soundcore Space A40 earbuds are a great choice for anyone who wants to enjoy high-quality sound and noise cancellation in any situation. They are available in white or black colors and come with a USB-C cable and a user manual. You can buy them from soundcore's official website or from Amazon for $99.99.
