  • For what it’s worth, I ended up choosing the obsidian sync service. While it goes against my “self host everything” mantra, I do also want to support software makers who make great products that respect peoples privacy. As such, I decided the $8/m investment was warranted.

    My son in highschool uses Obsidian for all his school note taking, so he actually is able to use the same sync subscription… As each vault has separate keys, there’s no privacy issues between us…

    My favourite part of this solution is it supports live update from multiple devices at once, so I have the vault open on phone, tablet, home laptop and work laptop simultaneously, and it just works…

    Just thought it was worth sharing.









  • I backpack it everywhere. I love boundary supply, but they’re expensive and lord almighty are they slow to ship…

    That being said, I EDC a Prima system as it also hadles my laptops and camera gear which travels with me frequently. I’ve just added one of their bottle carriers to the shoulder strap and I’ve got another one to install…

    In addition to the backpack, I’ve moved to pants with plenty of pockets. I live in 5.11 cargos (pants or shorts) and even wear the 5.11 tactical jeans which have an extra pair of pockets (usually for ammo. I use them for wallet and phone…)


  • My favourite was when my GP gave me a list of 10 docs to call to see who was taking referrals for adult diagnosis.

    Yeah, that list sat unopenend (combination of overwhelmed and totally forgot) till 6 months later when I had to see the GP again, I panicked, and I called all 10 in the 30mins before my GP appt and then was late for the GP and almost missed my GP appt…

    Fun times…


  • This needs a government / IEEE / domain registrar policy of some sort. Maybe it should simply be that all expired domains are put into stasis for 10 years.

    If you want to buy it and have access to it sooner, then you need to run (and pay for) a program of works to catch and proactively kill all linked accounts, and build a register of embargoed existing email addresses that must be set to bounce.

    I knew this was a problem, but wow, had no idea it was this bad…

    Because I have a firstname.lastname@popularcloudemail.domain type email, I get SOOO many people signing up for accounts with my email, forgetting that theirs had some number suffix. I get peoples phone bills, pizza receipts, Amazon orders, parking meter e-receipts, Xbox live accounts, Dropbox logins, you name it.

    I NEVER thought of what that would look like at a domain level!
