Crypto is a Scam – Number Go Up by Zeke Faux
by
Years ago I remember being interested in Bitcoin, simply because it was new interesting tech. I even mined a few dozen of them back when it was possible to do that with an underpowered second hand computer you were willing to leave on for a few days. For the last 5+ years though crypto has…
Notebooks Come and Go
by
Greg shared his on again off again notebook habit. There’s something about writing by hand that feels right to me, even though it’s slower than typing, and you can’t just hit ‘search’ to find something you wrote. But for some reason, I just stopped using my notebook for a few months. It’s like it went…
Noah Herman – Back to the iPad Pro
by
Much like Noah above, I’ve been using my iPad much more again for getting things done. Just 3 months ago I was using my iPad so little that I was contemplating taking it off my 2nd desk and downsizing from a 12.9” iPad Pro to a Mini. An iPad Mini is far more portable and…
Manipulating Images from the Terminal
by
With my switch to Fedora as my main working operating system I needed to change how I process images for this site. I want images to be small, but still a good enough quality to see. On macOS I used Permute via SetApp to batch process images, but Permute is not available on Linux. So…
I Also Just Want my Music

Jeff walks us through how it’s $3000 to get some kids music. As he says this is further enshitification of content. Yes I pay for YouTube Premium, and Apple Music, and I buy the movies I want to add to my own library. I continue to think that maybe I need to go back to…

The Stark Reality of the Climate Crisis
by
The Climate book by Greta Thunberg, is not a book entirely written by the named author, it’s a collection of essays requested by Thunberg. She shows up with her own writing many times in the books, my copy had her writing on darker pages which actually made them harder to read. The purpose of the…
Export Note Links with Obsidian Easy Bake
by
As I’ve been moving all my book notes over to my website I’ve needed an easy way to get my transclusions from my notes into plain markdown. While Obsidian shows them, when you copy a note normally you don’t get the text at the other end of a transclusion. This is where Easy Bake has…
