I'm happy with my current knowledge and noting system, based on the Zettelkasten method [1]. I use org-roam [2] and my trusty #emacs when sitting at a desk, and #obsidian when I'm outside with my phone. I don't pay for Obsidian Sync BTW. I literally sync my notes directly to my remote repository via `git` in #termux.

Wish I could find a way to edit my Org files with my phone easily. Until then, I still have to stick to Obsidian and writing Markdown files.

I'm too tired of choosing the next "DevSecOps" stack [1]. I've suffered enough of the "Shiny Object Syndrome" [2]. I'm closing my door, becoming a hermit, and starting to read some books instead.

Now I truly understand that being simple is not easy, but a hard choice to make.

Joining OSS discussions made me mind my etiquette and educate myself to ask better questions [1]. This, conveniently, benefits my (writing) communication at work.

My favourite quote:

"You will earn an answer, if you earn it, by asking a substantial, interesting, and thought-provoking question — one that implicitly contributes to the experience of the community rather than merely passively demanding knowledge from others."

I feel conflict whether I should continue using YouTube. So far it has been one of my top educational resources (just behind reading books). But recent recommendation results, YouTube Shorts—which I despise the whole 15-second video trend with passion, and this dirty trick [1] are really putting me off.

Love this website that describes HTTP status codes with... cat images.
