To this day I still use a ZFS array for my critical backup storage. I've migrated over to using snap raid + mergerfs for my larger Linux iso storage array. Simple enough and I can pull a drive on it's own without any other stuff.
I'm still sitting on some 8mm film that my grandpa shot, and even some of the commercials he worked on. Still trying to find a reasonable way to digitize them.
Also multiple boxes of slides, I know you can buy the scanners (I had one). Wish there was a cheaper automated way hahaha
I ended up 3D printing some larger grips to help when I have nerve pain flare-ups. Love using the deck with them
Lovely post! I've been dealing with chronic pain throughout the winters. Ended up with a fibromyalgia diagnosis at the start of the year. Here's some stuff that I've found that helps
- Compression clothing.
Not only does it help you stay warm but it keeps enough pressure on your joints to really help
- CBD Topical
I'm not a user of cannabis but when my pain first started a neighbor recommended it. I was in enough pain that I said screw it, and it's been absolutely amazing at helping. Only way I can describe it is, imagine rub a535 on absolute steroids
Absolutely love Pandoc. I used it through my undergrad to take notes for all of my courses. Markdown with inlined LaTeX just made sense.
It made university more accessible, as I get frequent hand cramps while writing notes. So I started to take them with Pandoc and added custom macros.
The best feeling was when professors would ask for a copy of my notes at the end of the term because they were formatted so well!
I wouldn't expose your private keys for 2FA in plain text on your laptop. At least encrypt the file with GPG key to not expose it and read it in the script
I haven't had a chance to integrated vimwiki into my school notes just yet. I havent used the export function in vimwiki yet, as I stick with viewing my notes in vim.
I'm not sure if HTML outputs the paths the same way that the vimwiki does, could you possibly use relative links or something? I can't get HTML conversion to work for me right now for some reason. You could also possibly compile all the notes at once, and use sections to refer to certain files. Similar to how LaTeX outputs sections.
Over my last two terms I've invested in using markdown with Pandoc to write any notes in class. I needed a way to be able to take math notes, and be simple to use. After migrating to Linux, OneNote was no longer an option. It's simple to use, as it uses markdown syntax for anything text based, and LaTeX syntax for inlined math formulas.
I as of recently also found out that VimWiki exists. I've started to use it because of the note linking capabilities. I'm starting to keep notes on events, certain tools, languages, and all other information I need in the wiki. It's also in Markdown which is nice.
Find tools that are close to what you want, and try to make your own suite. It may seem like a lot of work, but knowing your note taking solution inside and out can be very handy. When you're presented with something new that you don't know how to take down, you can evolve the system into being capable of handling it. Which you can do if you've make your own system, but using ready made solutions won't allow this.
Doesn't vim do this by default? Typing >> will indent the entire line. This can be used in tandem with select to indent multiple lines at once!
