Yup, just drop the markdown files in the folder where Silverbullet stores the markdown files and they're accessible. BTW the format to reference a file is [[path/to/file]] and you can reference inexistent files and they will get created when you navigate to them.

I used to do that, but eventually found out about https://silverbullet.md/ it's still just markdown files but I can edit them on the go with my phone.

Plus it has some nice extra syntax to query documents that's quite handy.

"Who goes there?" and "It's only a model" could work without any more context. But I think I would go with "Oh, don't be such a baby" even with context I think lots of people won't immediately recognize this.

I don't consider myself hardcore, but I haven't posted to Reddit since the API thing, I read stuff there because there's lots of content, but I strongly dislike the official app so I refuse to use it, which means posting would be a hassle.

One of my favorite games is a hidden gem that I never see people mention. It's called Out of Space and it's a couch co-op game similar to Overcooked with two major differences, it's less frenetic so you can play it to chill out, and it's procedurally generated so you have lots of replayability. For me and my wife it's the perfect game of "let's play a round of something", yet I never see it mentioned anywhere.

Curious to see this at the very top of your list. Perhaps I should make my switch to Sway rather sooner than later. Thank you for the endorsement!

For me it was a lot off wrist pain, so switching to a more keyboard centric way of interacting with the WM was very impactful.

I intend to learn this with the alt keyboard layout after the more ergonomic split keyboard has arrived. Wish me good luck 😉!

Which alternate layout are you considering? I recommend grabbing something you typed and feeding it here to check heat map of keypresses you would have done to have some visual representation of your usage.

So I suppose that by effectively removing most need for a mouse, the switch to a trackball has been less impactful.

Bingo, I actually switched to trackball before going to keyboard centric WM, but after it I've even gone back to mouse a few times feeling almost no difference, because I end up using the mouse a lot less.

Btw, perhaps related, would you happen to be aware of hints? If so, could you touch upon its relevance?

I have, not exactly it but similar stuff, I used to use a browser called conkeror that had emacs key bindings, and have tried to learn a very similar system to hints in the past. Honestly, when I has lots of wrist pain they were useful to completely remove the need of a mouse, but they're clunky and not as efficient as a pointer so I tend not to use them.

Curious. Is this a special ergonomic chair (or something)?

Nope, just a Secret Lab Titan Evo, but any good chair would do, I spent a year with a cheap Amazon chair and had lots of back pain.

Did you advance/progress in increments because you were testing out the latest addition to the setup? And thus, only introduced a subsequent change after judging that you were not 'done' yet?

It was more of a gradual thing, I had wrist pain, so I switched to a trackball, that helped but didn't got rid of it. So I tried AwesomeWM, found Conkeror and slowly the pain started to fade away and I dove deep into the keyboard centric thing learning touch typing and Colemak. Eventually other issues came on, like pinky strain from Emacs, or a different kind of wrist pain from a small keyboard that made me switch to a split one, or back pain that made me invest in a good chair. I don't think my setup is "done", it adapts to whatever my body is asking, but I've started to listen carefully and switch stuff on the early signals because that first wrist pain was an eye opener on how bad things can get if you ignore them.

I am so glad to read this! While the journey until I am able to interact with my systems without any pain seems far away right now, success stories like yours make me so pumped to pull through.

Do you feel pain now though? If so what? You should address that immediately. At most points I would have answered that I felt no pain with my setup, because those things build up gradually, if you're at the point of feeling pain the time to take action is now.

About the emacs plugins, yeah, by the name I can tell you those do the same to the ones I cited, my point is that the plugin ecosystem for it might be a bit less extensive, and not sure how to set shortcuts that use vim key bindings for other plugins.

I would only try out Emacs or Neovim through a opinionated config.

Why? Having had an emacs config that I copied from somewhere and ended up growing and becoming something unmanageable, I'm have a very strong opinion that one should build your own config files from scratch to know them. Presets are good if you're going to be using them bare, but if you're going to customize them they can get in the way. And that's another point for Nvim for me, their configs are very easy, I followed this guide and had a working config that I could easily expand in no time.

org-mode FTW

Ah, I miss org-mode, it's too bad the world went with Markdown instead.

Granted, I'm still very much enjoying Emacs. But, I shouldn't disregard/dismiss Neovim any longer. It's time to revisit this rabbit hole 😂.

Meh, maybe, maybe not, Emacs is great, I just never would have gone with evil mode, it sort of feels like it defeats the purpose of both emacs and vim in my mind for some reason. It's like if someone told you they put a Ford engine on their Chevrolet, it feels convoluted and strange to think on that solution before thinking of using a Ford.

I would agree with you but I don't think women are marginalised in my society.

Then you don't agree with me, and you should look closer at your society, it's easy to overlook how certain groups are marginalized if you're not part of them. I recommend you read some posts in some women only communities (instead of trying to tell them how they should feel) to see the sort of thing they have to go through.

I get where you're coming from, on paper our society treats women equally, there are no written rules or outlandish inequalities, and some of what feminist complain is not even real, such as the gender pay gap. However that's not the same as saying there aren't any inequalities nor that it's even comparable. Yes, men do have issues in our society; Yes we need to address those; No, we shouldn't laugh at me for opening up about their issues; Yes, men can have safe spaces where they talk about their issues without having women judge them for it. And all of that is the same for women, there are lots of ways in which our society treats women as inferior and if you can't recognize that there's really nothing else to tell you than "pay more attention", but there's no worse blind that those who don't want to see, so I'm sure there's nothing I can tell you that will make you stop and listen and look around, talk to your mom, sister, or some women you know and trust, listen to their stories about that time their boss slap their ass or their ex-boyfriend forced himself on them, or even the time the creepy guy started following them around.

As someone who opposes lots of what feminist theories claim and what some feminist groups preach and do my answer is: Yes, obviously, you have to be a special kind of stupid to not realize that women are marginalized in our society. Next you'll tell me that outside of black live matter no one thinks blacks are marginalized.

Damn you, you started to say that hacking is not portrayed realistically and I was going to reply with Mr. Robot, then you said about programming and I was going to mention Silicon Valley. Which goes to show that those are likely the only two realistic examples out there hahaha

If you click the source for the graph above and scroll down you'll have it there.

Rhapsody, the band all of their songs progressively tell an epic story that I would love to see in movie form.

Alternatively Nightfall in Middle-Earth from Blind Guardian, love the Silmarillion would love to see a movie about it.

Honestly Scenes from a Memory would make a great movie, and now I have to go listen to it again

The answer should be fairly obvious to anyone who's looked at an European map, there's a reason why the oldest cities are always around or near rivers. Also humans had bottle-like technologies since essentially forever, it's probably one of the first tools to be developed after "pointy stick".

I walk, it's not ideal but I take one for mother earth and walk the whole 10000 cm to the store when needed.

I think 13 year olds are a bit too young to get married

The growth rate is a better chart for that, because you can see the population growth drastically diminishing (because more deaths = less grow) until vaccines where made available and then it immediately goes back to normal. If someone wanted to depopulate all they had to do was prevent the vaccines from reaching people or have people not take the vaccine.

No, there are other ways to get access to your machine without needing it. In general you can classify vulnerabilities as either code execution or privilege escalation, a code execution vulnerability allows an attacker to execute code on your machine, a privilege escalation allows him to break barriers that you might have imposed on him.

For example, if you're running service X as root, and someone manages to find a way to use something on service X to execute code, they might get a reverse shell to your box and run anything there. So you might set service X to run as your user instead of root, now that vulnerability is less important because it only compromises your user, but the attacker could use this one in conjunction with the other one to gain control of your user, then escalate to become root.

If this is something you're interested in, there's a cool website called hackthebox where you have to do these sort of things for real. If you want to have an idea on how it looks, there are some excellent videos here showing walkthroughs for many of them he boxes, I recommend checking something labeled easy since these boxes can get quite complex, but it will give you a good idea of the steps attackers need to take to compromise your system

Came here for the wallpaper, saved this reply for the link. I had considered running my own server a while back to be able to play again.

Hey, yeah, I know the feeling, every time I lose an already typed reply I completely lose motivation to rewrite it.

Yeah, my pinky strain issue is completely gone, I also used to have some more pain on my wrist which made me go through a very similar journey to you, I took many steps for it to the point where nowadays my setup is (in order of what I think has made the largest impact)

• Using i3/sway as my WM for a keyboard centric usage
• Switching to Colemak and learning touch typing properly
• Split ortholineal keyboard (crkbd)
• Trackball instead of mouse

I've also got a height adjustable desk and a good chair to prevent issues with my back, and my monitors use an arm to be in the right position. It was a slow process of making one change here, few months later another z etc, but this has been my setup for a few years and all of my pains in wrist, lower back, neck, etc have disappeared. I figured if I'm going to ve sitting in front of a computer typing stuff for 8h a day I need to make that as comfortable as possible to be able to do it for longer.

As for emacs with evil mode I was sure that ci" would work, that's basic vim functionality, what I'm less sure would work is more complex stuff for which I use plugins, e.g. <space>srq" (Surround Replace Quotes with ") to replace the next quotes for " (e.g. changing var = 'some text' to var = "some text"). That same plugin allows me to also do <space>srb[ to Surround Replace Bracket/Braces with [ (to change the surrounding [, (, or { to [ ). Another plugin allows me to move to any part of the screen in 4 keystrokes, I press s the two characters of where I want to move, and a third disambiguation character and the cursor moves there. Those are advanced usages that I think will be difficult to reproduce in emacs, plus plugins will not incorporate the basic ideas for movements.

May I ask why emacs in evil-mode instead of Nvim?

playing Ultima Online (MMO)

I once was bored in front of a piano so I learnt (by trial and error) to play stones (the login music), then I did the same with a guitar. So yeah, leave me alone with an instrument long enough and I'll learn this song eventually hahahaha.

playing Gunbound (artillery game)

There's a game I completely forgot about, I used to love the boomerang one.
