I installed both Syncthing and Obsidian on the Penstar eNote and my notes are now synchronizing 🤯 (for now, only on my tests account). You’ll see it in the second part of today’s video. The first part is a quick demonstration of some of the device’s features.
I added the Gemini Flash API, but keep getting the “Missing Authentication header or invalid API key” message when I try to use the new Obsidian Interpreter. As a non-developer, I have no idea what an “Authentication header” is, so I’m switching to another project to refresh my mind.
Tomorrow is December 1st, and I haven’t turned on the heater or lit the fireplace yet. Additionally, I have the living room windows fully open right now (8pm). Portugal has better weather than most of Europe, but this is not normal for this time of the year. And no, I am not complaining 😊
People will naturally gravitate towards something that makes them feel good. There is no need to lock me in with an algorithm or by throttling posts with links. Bluesky, thank you for constantly reinforcing my feeling of wanting to return by not controlling what I see. I 💙 Chronology.
I’ve known about LaTeX for a while, but I’ve never actually used it. When Evernote added support for it, I thought it would be an opportunity to learn it and make an in-depth video. 🫣 Well, that was a habit hole I wish I had not fallen into. Anyway, here’s my TL;DR video.
Some people think that if you make your hobby your work, it will not be fun anymore. I respectfully disagree. The issue, at least in my case, is that the hobby, the fun, rarely makes money.
I was reorganizing things in my office and found this stand I built for my wife many years ago. It happened a long time ago, but I still remember it as if it were today.
As we were rearranging her desk, she said she would love to have normal access to the ports and power button. She also said, ‘This is how it should be’ and placed it on its side.
I pulled out some leftover pieces of wood and put this together. It is not shown in the pictures, but the space between the feet was measured to accommodate the external hard drive.
There was no sophisticated measuring, perfect sending, Danish oil, or anything like that. The whole thing was built on the fly, with the Mini itself being used to figure out all the measurements. And yes, the cables were all hanging, but she loved my solution.
🤫 Please, please, don’t tell her about the new Mini power button.
If you have already watched my recent video about the new #Obsidian Web Clipper, you should know how many useful features it has. There are so many that I totally forgot to mention one that I am really enjoying.
If you select “Open Side Panel” by right-clicking on the extension icon, you’ll have access to all the clipping commands I showed in the video, but in a side panel on your browser.
I’ve been keeping the original Final Cut files of all of my YouTube videos, and I do occasionally need and use them for future projects. However, storage for this is starting to become a little too expensive, and I came up with an idea.
Keep the originals for a few months, then delete them and only archive the final video and thumbnail. The question I’ve been asking myself for the last couple of days is: how many months is a few months? Three? Six? One year?
