to me, it was helpful for night sessions, as I didn't have good light that would be too strong. This one does not shine into screen, so it's good for the eyes. But certainly not a must or anything you need.
maybe, but then I don't see my keys or stuff on the table. It dims automatically and has different color temperatures. It's practical, I don't have space behind my desk, and it's not that expensive. I didn't thought too much about it actually, when I bought it :)
Amazing write-up. Owing to your data, a standardized protocol (such as the AT Protocol) is so great! It's like markdown, everything is basically built on files (but cleverly architected so that it works decentralized across the web too!).
not sure if you understood the article, isn't the whole point to own your data as "it's just a filesystem". Reddit, Instagram, etc. are the total opposite.
Yes, I should have been clearer. Reddit and Instagram do not operate this way today, but open social alternatives to them could. The idea is that people create personal websites where posting, commenting, and other social actions live, and that becomes the filesystem they own.
Open social networks would simply index or pull from those sites using agreed-upon lexicons and protocols. Existing platforms could either adopt the open social model, or, more realistically in the short term, be treated as syndication targets where posts are pushed via their APIs when someone publishes on their own site.
Yes I'm loving the growth in this space. I'd also throw Standard.site[0] into the mix, it seems to be the lexicons Leaflet and some other apps are using.
I moved from 15 years of macOS to Linux (Omarchy in my case). I was mostly using the terminal and am therefore super happy with my choice now. I wrote more at https://www.ssp.sh/blog/macbook-to-arch-linux-omarchy/, in case of interest.
This is the story of how (Neo)Vim and Markdown unified my data engineering and writing workflow.
As CEO of Obsidian says:
> Obsidian will not exist forever, no app will. However, the files you create in Obsidian are yours, and can hopefully last for generations.
Plaintext files as the foundation, Markdown as the format, and Neovim as the editor. Combined, they will last until the end of days of computers.
I really like how he automates his newsletter off of his blog, notes, TIL, etc., but it's also amazing how complicated it is. Imagine the blog would be on Markdown, nothing of this is needed as the "content" would just be locally for a Claude to read, it could do the SQL-query with a cmd-line instead, or you could build a small wrapper around if you want. Plus if the Newsletter supports Markdown, too (I use Listmonk), then the conversion would be straight forward too, also with no bugs.
This inspires me to automate one day more of my newsletter too, maybe as I have everything in place for it. And I automate blog post to send out automatically, but not a collection of notes and blogs.
