My New Year’s Resolution is to never make a resolution

I like Reddit / Lemmy’s system best

Auto up vote your own stuff (or just don’t allow self voting, same difference), and being able to see both up and down votes separately

Although i think the latter isn’t a thing on Reddit

Exactly, that’s why you write down ideas immediately, when you have them

I have obsidian set to dump new notes into an “Inbox” folder

If i have an idea, i jot it down in a new note (usually from my phone), and move on

Then i can later catalog it properly

That’s the whole point if Federated servers

Don’t brainstorm

Collect ideas as you think of them throughout your day. Then when you need to “brainstorm”, read through your ideas and references

How to take smart notes

I would like to know

Speaking of OneDrive being a hunk-of-fuck

Most of the time, it’s me

Even medicated, it’s impossible for me to keep a normal sleep schedule

I think of it as compensation for waking up at noon every day

+1 for syncthing

I use it for synching my Obsidian notes folder between my phone and PC

(and git for versioning and backups)

NSFL (Not Safe For Life) typically means stuff like gruesome injuries, blood and gore, or possibly fatalities

Which is different from NSFW, because sometimes you want to hear a dirty joke, bit you could do without seeing the aftermath of a Meat Crayon

I haven’t used Windows in a few years (and never used OneDrive), so pinch of salt time, but…

I don’t like the idea of M$ having direct access to all of my files and personal data

That and, there have been mishaps with OD deleting files

Also, i personally don’t like software automagic, especially when i don’t understand what is going on under the hood

Is OD just a folder? Where are my documents actually stored? What happens if my internet goes out? How much do i trust M$ to not bungle something or sell or leak my files?

This one’s a bit of a c/noContext moment

It haunts me in my dreams

Be calm, gentle, but firm. No build up, no “I’m sorry kitty, don’t be mad” and try not to be tense. Just do it. (If you’re tense, they’re tense)

Use a treat or food to distract the cat, and hold them firmly (preferably, have a second pair of hands, but I manage just fine on my own)

Proceed with the processes, even if the cat complains, or gets a little feisty (back off if they’re ballistic). Let them know (with your body language) that you’re not stopping because they’re unhappy

Also, make sure they have a good footing. Cats get uneasy if they don’t have their feet on something, or if the ground is slippery (like a bathtub)

Put a towel in the bottom of the tub to give them better footing (not the best solution, but it works)

Try one of these: https://a.co/d/08I5FYeD

Cats really only like to scratch on tall and sturdy things like trees or heavy couches

If their post isn’t tall enough, they can’t get a good stretch out of it

If the post tips over easily, they just won’t want to use it (you can also use a heavy weight to keep the base steady, but I find that solution rather cumbersome )

Let’s not spin our wheels on this

I’ve never really had good ideas to post

Even on reddit

We kinda do, with GPS satellites that have to correct their clocks due to the effects of gravity and speed

And communication with space probes

I use 24h clocks and ISO 8601 dates almost always

Honestly, I’m better at organizing code than I am my actual life
