My problem has always been finding a SIP company I wanted to give my money to, for providing a land line #. For a glorious, brief, period, I was able to do this through Google Voice. But then they got rid of that feature, and I haven't found another provider who I like the looks of.

LogSeq has other note types; it's just the default is bullets.

LogSeq is about as future proof as you can get. Notes are stored in a directory tree as markdown files.

Try it, it's good. There's a mobile app, for Android, at least. It's free; it only takes a little time investment, so low barrier for entry.

LogSeq is nice.

For this who don't know, it's well designed, in that it doesn't add bloat and obfuscation like a DB would; it keeps everything in a filesystem structure in markdown files. What's really nice is that this makes it something you can use with a plain editor, or with the application, or with the app on mobile; the app(s) add a lot of convenience functionality to the basic storage design.

It's a well-thought-out system, and I appreciate how clean it is, and how independent of the application the data is. I haven't looked at the code base, but I have a lot of respect for the developer must based on the design & architecture decisions.

I have a feeling you're looking for something different, but: mine is a big todo.txt document that I open with fzf. I just add lines to it and tack on @keywords.

If your needs are more hierarchical and structured, I'd still try to stick with a plain-text and fuzzy-search based solution, and split stuff up into different files.

IMHO, you're starting from a good place (plain text files). Maybe you just need a little tooling for searching and keyword filtering.

Fucking Deloitte!

Ah, so it has a "watch" mode? Cool.

Ditto.

I get angry with SyncThing; don't get me wrong. I really wish they'd add a per-file-type merge plugin capability, and I get far more sync conflicts than I care for. I get situations where a client on one computer stops (mostly, Android killing it) and it needs to be manually restarted.

What I've never had it data corruption. It's to the point where I implicitly trust that if SyncThing says it's synced, I know it's on the destination. It might be a stored as a sync conflict, but it's there.

How is rclone fire and forget? You have you manually run it every sync, right?

This is a good list.

There are three kinds of Linux commands:

  • commands I use frequently
  • commands I've never seen or don't know about. There's almost nothing in standard POSIX that falls in this category, and a lot of OSS that does. E.g., I use to always reach for fuser until I realized it's not a base install on many distros, so I switched to lsof which is is, and is also both more powerful and harder to use.
  • commands I've seen before but use so infrequently I forget they exist, or what they're called. This is sadly a larger set than I'd like.

Some of these in this list are the third kind.

Huh. My cousin is a professor, and my best friend is a high school teacher. They're both responsible for developing their curriculum. That's only an n=2, but it's 100% that if they (the people I know) hate their curriculum, it's their own damned fault.

What? Teachers hating their subject?
