So that's what rimming is all about; they have anxiety. TIL.

Everyone knows what the conclusion will be and that it will end with the words: "Lessons will be learned.".

I started on Logseq, because I'm a contributing open source advocate. I fully intended to stay with Logseq.

However, it seems to indent everything in the markdown including headings, bullet points and so on. When one loads a document into a markdown editor, one ends up removing all these indents before the document becomes 'valid'. They've made some other unusual design choices that mean the markdown doesn't read very well in plain text. I used Logseq for a year.

There's also a difficulty for me with getting help. For some reason Logseq help community seems to be based around the Discuss (sp?). It's not easy to read because the lines are very short as it's a messaging platform. The community is very very active though.

I eventually got frustrated with trying to debug my Markdown outside Logseq, and went looking for another vehicle.

Rather distressed, I installed Obsidian. It's been designed with a more logical approach. To link to a heading in another document, the document is linked in a Wiki-like way (if you've chosen that format) with the heading separated by a hash symbol; in Logseq you get an unintelligible UUID plus all that indenting.

There's a lot of help within the Obsidian community but some of it is locked down in medium paid-for content. However, the hundreds of Obsidian YouTube channels and videos, obsidianrocks and obsidian.md sites are very well authored. AI searches augment the rest, TBF I don't really use Google proxies anymore.

Even though I'm a personal user, it's worth it to me to buy a commercial licence to show my appreciation for the work that the two(?) developers have put in.

The plugins use the published API and are all (?) open source AFAICT.

Most of the issues I have with Obsidian are just related to my workflow. I think that there are probably plugins that will solve them.

I don't expect to be looking for another note-taking app anytime soon and it's been over a year since I started with Obsidian. Understanding templates opened my world up enormously. I haven't started data-mining in any meaningful sense yet.

Just my tuppence.

They humour our statements that we want to work for their company for altruistic reason but suggest that they give us some cash anyway.

We humour their protestations that the job spec in any way resembles the actually work we are expected to traverse.

It's an ongoing dialogue of falsehood in the understanding that no-one will break the spell.

Once you can't afford your homes because of the tax and other new charges together with the rising prices, hotels won't be necessary.

The idea that Woke changed the world to be kinder is ridiculous funny. Most people seem to want immediate self gratification and to make money by posting on social media virtue signalling.

I think we have to go back to real poverty to be altruistic eg. the world wars, 1930s recession. A person with literally nothing will give you half of their life savings, even if that's the change that they have in their pockets, to help you make a phone call.

That'll be helped by our lovely UK water companies - looking at you Thames Water, Welsh Water, Yorkshire Water, Anglian Water ... - emptying human shit into the waterways rather than processing it as they paid by consumers to do.

Shit is usually a mildly acidic.

They get fined, then try to sell themselves to investors who want full immunity. Regulator just shrugs.

Oh bless.

The only effective way is to find a spouse or partner who actually cares about you.

(now single) Old fart here.

Otherwise this is my current one (they're all about 4/10 IMHO): Exfoliating Back Scrubber for... https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0C1YZDFFM or something similar

1. Take a normal shower curtain and have at it with a long kitchen knife. The knife cuts won't let very much water through so it will still be effective as a shower curtain.
2. Take a stray can of red paint and spray be a few two or three long strokes across it.
3. Only attach the rings of one end to the shower rail up to one half at most. Break the remaining rings and leave them on the bathroom floor.

I applaud this program, exactly what we've all been looking for.

Looks like many of the comments identifying it have been removed.

Restore from backup. No point in trying to figure out what changed, how and where.

bat.

(half replying to other comments as well as yours)

If you have a look at the btrfs mailing lists post that introduced RAID1c34, they were created because RAID56 were not considered viable or fixable. It's in couched language but reasonably clear. I don't think you're thinking of using those (RAID56) but don't.

Never had any btrfs problems that weren't self generated or date from a really sticky period in btrfs's history (years ago, 4.13 or maybe 3.13). I've used RAID56 until RAID1c34 became available and RAID10 where I could.

Haven't tried LUKS - btrfs though, although effectively no worse than putting btrfs in a VM (which is fine if slow at the time), albeit a bit more computationally intensive.

Use rsync or rclone. rclone is less often used but multi-threaded so it will be faster.
