Meta Journal notes in Denote-Journal with Journelly

I’ve been wrestling with the privacy trade-offs of journaling on my work-managed iPhone for too long. The solution? Meta denote-journal notes on my Linux desktop. Seems like I write a lot 🤔

Well, hello, Spider-Noir, welcome to Binge City. Where have you been? Nice. 📺

Enjoying Vivaldi

I’m enjoying Vivaldi on Linux so far, and I keep discovering new things. As a matter of fact, could I get your help discovering more awesome Vivaldi features?

It seems like the Windows app (RMD) is messing up Emacs. It constantly freezes.

The issue seems to be with copy-paste. pboard (clipboard) doesn’t handle RMD’s clipboard well.

Screw RMD. I will just use my old setup (run locally from the Mac). Every day I like Microsoft even less.

Sometimes you just gotta laugh at yourself.

People don’t quit Emacs. They just die at some point.

Brilliant.

Playing Subnautica again: why cheating sometimes make things better

Revisiting Subnautica with a new perspective: strategic cheating. It makes the game actually enjoyable when your brain works like a browser with 47 tabs open. It also helps me be a little bit less scared. Don’t judge me just yet! That’s what this post is for.

Trying out Vivaldi on Linux

Another browser? Why not. After wrestling with flatpak sandboxing, broken Grammarly, and manual updates in Zen, I found Vivaldi waiting with an apt option. Now I’m CSS-styling tab stacks and accidentally discovering I like the built-in email client. The Linux browser saga continues. See you back on Firefox in 6 months, probably. 🙃

Correcting photo orientation for org-mode in Linux

In org-mode, iPhone photos always showed at a 90-degree angle for me in Linux. Here’s the fix, along with its dwim-shell-command component :)

Traveling to a remote site for work today, got a chance to enjoy the beautiful weather and take a breather.

A good weekend

A fulfilling weekend: gaming, quality time with partners, and engaging tech projects. Good stuff.
