Logseq question
  • I’m a Logseq novice, but I’m happy to help workshop ideas.

    If you’re just editing order and organizing thoughts you can reference blocks between pages with ((double parentheses)). Those could be as their own line/bullet, or even in-line with other text. So with that you could make a new page (or block in your daily journal) with new text summarizing your findings and block references to pull the previously taken notes in whatever order works best for you.

    If you want the existing notes to be referenced but also cleaned up for presentation you could do that and use block references as mentioned, or you could use an Alias to link to the block while preserving its content. It depends on how you want to cite yourself, so to speak, and if you want to preserve your existing notes word for word.

  • Trump's New York fraud ruling sets precedent that lying about square footage is WRONG?
  • I’ve done BOMA calculations for retail, office, and residential spaces and by god it’s a pain. And it doesn’t really always correlate to the perceived area/volume of the rental space which can definitely feel like a scam, so when he first said the real estate agents were lying I figured it was just a difference in gross vs net square footage. I thought I was right when he started measuring paint to paint, but then he said they were listed at 2 to 3 times the actual. That’s absolutely bonkers. The one guy at 10% “over” was likely listing gross, but I haven’t watched those videos yet. I can’t wait to dive in tomorrow at work!

  • I feel weird liking this song as much as I do. I don’t think anyone would care, and most wouldn’t even recognize it at this point, but still feel weird.

    Beautiful choice though 🤌🏻

  • Is there a frontend with no login, but with local subscription
  • I believe you can list a guest instance without logging in using Photon.

  • Peppy got a little overstimulated and needed a break
  • It’s actually a curtain that came with the house. It’s an old German or Dutch map, maybe 18th century? I haven’t really analyzed it.

  • The first thing I thought of when I saw the post. Beautiful ♥️

  • Best app to learn programming these days?
  • Re: orizuzu’s comment on python. I’m just starting out too and I’ve really enjoyed Automate the Boring Stuff. I have the course on Udemy, but he’s got the first chunk of it on YouTube if you want to try it out first. There is an accompanying book but I haven’t dived into it, just watching the videos for now. He does a good job of explaining concepts through simple examples that you can type out along with him, which he recommends. Good luck!

  • What the hell is this horror show shit that keeps showing up in Pocket?
  • I tried omnivore for a bit because it’s pretty clean and seems to integrate well with other apps like Obsidian, Logseq, etc. but I found it to be a little too sparse. I’m currently using raindrop.ion and that’s hitting the sweet spot for me. I think a big part of it is that omnivore is geared strongly toward heavy readers, so as a designer I save a lot of things for viewing more than reading, and more of an archive for projects and thoughts than something to catch up with. And I’ve got my reading list, movie list, software list, and all sorts of others in there that it’s closer to a personal Pinterest than a read it later app.

    It is a really nice app though so if someone’s in the market for a reading-first definitely check it out! I’m personally really digging my personal knowledge archive with raindrop.ion and think it’s worth checking out too!

  • I’m no woodworker, but I’ll at least venture a naive guess and say birdseye maple. You said he’s got other chunks of maple, so maybe that was part of his maple stock?

  • Why do most people choose to use WhatsApp over telegram??
  • If I were clever enough to host my own matrix server I would in a heartbeat. Bridges to WhatsApp, insta, fb, etc. are game changers.

  • Self hosted Google Keep alternative
  • I looked into the git plugin and Working Copy, but the app price pushed me to support the Logseq team. I’m totally cool paying for apps, though $25 isn’t a trivial cost for an experiment, and I just figured I could put that money toward the development of the app I want versus a third party workaround, for lack of a better word.

    I do appreciate that it works with git though, and I’m tempted to try it out just for a fun weekend project.

    Are there any plugins you’d recommend for Logseq?

  • Self hosted Google Keep alternative
  • Logseq is pretty similar to Obsidian, and it’s FOSS. It’s still really young, but I’ve enjoyed using it more than Obsidian for my personal note taking style. It’s block-based and focused on daily journals, so instead of folders of individual notes the tags/references become interlinked pages. It’s been cool to see my daily logs become a web of concepts. Syncing is a new function they’re adding for supporters, but it can be done with Syncthing if you’re nasty.

    It’s definitely a different way of note taking than Keep or Joplin and maybe not for everyone, but I hope I’m at least doing it justice and piqued someone’s curiosity!

  • YouTube Home Feed Empty With History Off, Anyone Else?
  • If you set your default search engine to Duck Duck Go you can use “!yt” followed by your search terms and it’ll go right to the results on YouTube. There’s a whole lot of other bangs, too. I do it with google maps all the time with “!gm.”

  • Alright I forgot about that one. But I think the East Side of Saint Paul and North Minneapolis both have some cheap housing. Not great neighborhoods, but they’re on the up.

  • What's a good podcast you like?
  • If you’re someone who likes these you’ll probably like This Past Weekend with Theo Von. He’s usually got really good guests, and his energy is different than his stand up. I’ve really enjoyed listening.

  • Minneapolis will definitely get snow, but there isn’t towing in that depth of snow. That’s child’s play.

    It’s a truly lovely place to live though. Yeah winters are a chore, but we go hard in summer. And there’s some excellent camping within less than an hour’s drive.

  • I’m an NDSU grad, so I’m a little biased, but Fargo is a really cool town. The downtown is especially awesome. Pretty good food, good bar scene, a few museums and such. If you can handle a winter you’re golden, because the summers are not bad at all.
