Just found a cool tool for my pocket #bujo journals. Https://indxd.ink gives you a way to store the indexes for your notebooks in a searchable format.

Just got a new pocket organizer for my #edc It’s allowing me to expand what I carry by quite a bit, I normally only had a journal, but I’d been wanting to carry a multitool and flashlight, just hate having loose items in my pocket. This allows me to carry quite a bit more and I’m looking forward to trying it out for a bit and see how it works in practice.

Mastodon, it's really simple.

You want everyone to leave the dodgy car salesman's X-hole?

You want a future where social media is community-owned and decentralised, instead of a corporate surveillance sphere?

Well, those things won't happen until Black Twitter migrates here.

And Black Twitter won't touch this place until there's proper moderation in place.

The issues raised by Mekka, Timnit, Kim, Sam, and others are not a peripheral issue.

Fixing moderation is absolutely central, core work that is mission critical for the Fedi being successful.

And if you don't do it, then please don't complain when (not if) everyone leaves for BlueSky.

EDIT: In terms of the kind of moderation tools that are needed, take a look at this post by Mekka: https://hachyderm.io/@mekkaokereke/112860109548583248

@[email protected] @[email protected] @[email protected] Today: At a minimum you should roll your own shared blocklist strategy. Read docs by @[email protected] or @[email protected] You should then develop your own process for merging and updating these blocklists with your own. Pain. And you will still get it wrong. It's too hard. Tomorrow: You should be able to go to your Mastodon config, and subscribe to a series of auto-updating blocklists from sources that you trust. These should be combined with your own blocklist.

Expeditions into the Digital.

We desperately need to start a Slow Software movement. High quality, intentionally designed, low defect software done at a quarter of the pace for the same price. Because we've been destroying the mental health of developers for the last quarter century, and what do we have to show for it but a giant mess?
Just started documenting my #homelab setup in #obsidian using data view and templater is letting me do some pretty cool things with aggregating todos from all my individual server and service documents into a nice dashboard. What is everyone else using for documentation?
To anyone who disables paste on a 'confirm password' field... that makes the experience of using a secure, random-generated password on mobile a horrendous experience.
In preparation for #primeday what filaments for #3dprinting should I get enough of to keep on hand? I’ve been just buying assorted ones so far, but I think I’m ready to start ordering in bulk as I’m printing a lot more.

"Basically, if a file on your computer can only be opened by a specific piece of software, and that software is controlled by a single company, you should probably export it to an open format. It's the only way to future-proof it."

You don't say 🤷

Some time ago, I was able to restore about 3 years (2004 onwards) worth of personal notes from a backup on CD-ROM, because the notes were stored as plain text files by my personal wiki back then. They now reside in my #pkm tool.

How to Properly Archive Your Digital Files

Will you be able to open today’s Word docs in 20 years? Probably not, unless you take some necessary steps to give those digital files an extra-long shelf life.

Starting to print stuff on my new #BambuLab A1 printer and loving the quality. Just printed a version of Martian Chess
