It feels like the uphill battle to not be totally siloed into big tech is getting harder and harder to power through. It's just taking too much of my time NOT giving into Google's and Microsoft's whims and demands, especially on a mobile device.

At least once a month:
```bash
git branch list
git branch -D list
```

Having two large cats has the advantage that both my feet are comfy warm when they both cosy up to me.

The problem with Obsidian on desktop is that it is an Electron based application and that it therefor comes with the usual Electron related problems and bugs. For example - due to GPU acceleration issues in Electron, Obsidian is starting with an unusable black screen on Fedora VM running on Apple M1. The most frustrating part: it worked for a while, until it didn't. There doesn't seem to be real attention to this issue from Obsidian's side. So good thing that machine is not my main PC.

The error in the error log is "Looks like something went wrong, image was zero bytes big!"

N is starting to think that eating animals is wrong. He's almost six. We're going to need a bigger vegatarian cookbook.

Seems like the Mastodon POSSE from my Known site is borked. Argh. Something to fix again this week.

Jumped on the Obsidian train - was keeping my notes in markdown already for some time, but it got a bit disorganised - now hoping to bring back a bit of structure with Obsidian's organisational features. Syncing everything between my phone and my PC using Syncthing.

I find that Khan Academy has some good explanations on these math problems.

How do you make time to actually sit down and read a book?

What if I told you, you could recreate the base functionality of Jira using Confluence page-properties and page labels?

My five year old loves the "Making Fun" makers show on Netflix. He calls it the "Building Buddies" and that would have been a more awesome name for the clever show.
