How I use Obsidian Templater One of my favorite Obsidian plugins is Templater, which lets you create reusable templates in your notes vault! cassidoo.co [1] I really like this idea of keeping a set up contacts in a markdown repo, and being able to wikilink them to different tickets / meetings and what not. I’m imagining the graph you can build, it feels quite interesting. Even more relevant as we see things like teams rolling out retention limits to messages. Here is Cassidy’s format, I like it but I’m probably not going to track the birthday of most people I work with, thats just not the relationship I tend to have with work friends. It might be a midwest or non tech thing, but I am not even aware if any of my co-workers have social media, and I assume that if they did it would not include anything work related but more football and other sports.

docker context (and an issue to question your sanity) | Nic Payne docker contexts are great, would recommend putting them in your prompt though (via starship or something else)... here's why I like to manage my containers pype.dev [1] Dang context can really cause you to pull your hair out. Context seems so freaking convenient, but I’ve avoided it and just ssh in for these reasons. Maybe I’ll come around eventually but for now ssh is my friend. Note This post is a thought [2].

I got the ADHD, too This month I got my official diagnosis for Adult ADHD. It’s fun to share experiences with friends. While ADHD presents some new waters to navigate, it isn’t exactly news to me. Thanks to Dr. Ti... daverupert.com · daverupert.com [1] Cheers to the Unique brains dave. I can say I am 100% with Dave on all of these, except the clean environment thing, lucky Dave. If I have enough room to see what I am doing and walk around a mess, I probably wont even notice it. I’m so hyper focused on what is right in front of me that mess could be a huge pile of cash and i’d never see it. Note This post is a thought [2].

How to make your RSS feed pretty Life is too short for ugly XML. cassidoo.co [1] I love me some styled rss, it’s how the OG [2] internet was made to be. You choose what you want to read and when. There is no middleman aggregator inflating the reach of things they want you to see or suffocating things against them. It’s just you and your internet friends. Cassidy’s Styled rss [3] # [4] Cassidy has a quite lovely and easy to read rss feed, with an open source style sheet, that is part of her open source blog template for astro blahg [5], love that name by the way!

Hurl - Run and Test HTTP Requests Hurl, run and test HTTP requests with plain text and curl.

Fitting two hard drives and an SSD in a Dell OptiPlex 7010 SFF The Dell OptiPlex 7010 SFF officially only has room for one 2.5" hard drive internally, I fitted two 3.25" hard drives and a 2.5" SSD in one. willj.net [1] This guy fit 2 3.5" drives and an sdd in a dell 7050 SFF.

How To Fix An Office Chair Popping Noise? With Root Causes If you hear a popping noise from under your office chair when you move around or when you spin it, it’s time to repair your office chair. Read more. ToErgonomics · toergonomics.com [1] I tried this fix on my secretlabs chair, but unfortunately it did nothing for me. Mine ended up being an issue in the tilt mechanism and not the hydraulic piston. I greased the crap out of it, it can only help the longevity.

Reddit - Please wait for verification reddit.com [1] This is definitely happening to my secretlabs chair. I did the fix this morning, its still not perfect, but it’s better now than it has been in a long time.
