Been trying to get FreshRSS working with Elfeed. Kimi (Kagi’s recommended LLM for Assistant) was very helpful, and I got it running on Docker correctly. But between setting up an API and accessing it from a browser and telling Elfeed where it is… Yeesh, it seems really complicated.

The Big Lebowski, 1998 - ★★★½

A man joyfully helps a Valkyrie-themed woman bowl, surrounded by a haze, with The Big Lebowski text below.

Every time I watch this movie, I pick up some other meanings I didn't before. Sometimes you just need to shrug it off and go bowling.

I spent the majority of my morning panicking about something that will blow in my face on Tuesday and getting no assistance, and the rest of the morning working out favors from different people so I can do it myself tomorrow. How’s your Friday been?

A quick rundown about how I write instructions in org-mode

A quick (kind of?) rundown of my processes to write technical documentation in org-mode.

We drink a lot of coffee ☕️. It adds up. And tea 🫖 also.

A container filled with coffee grounds and organic green and black tea is sitting on a counter.

Checking a YouTube video about Docker (for my Synology, where it’s called Container). Everything today is Docker this Docker that. Turns out it’s kind of like a VM, so I kind of get it. Trying to figure out how to tell the actual path in the YAML file from those virtual ones for configs like timezones, etc.

It seems Emacs breaks several HTML links in org-mode when converting to markdown. I had to go back in there and remove those code snippets and re-add them. Need to find an option that tells Emacs, “if you see something in HTML inside this org-mode buffer, don’t touch it.”

AI hallucinations and creativity

AI hallucinations are not necessarily bad, just like AI in general. The key, as always, is how we use it and to what ends.

Overinformation

I’m bugging out from all the information about vegan food I found. Too much too fast. But this is how I roll.

One thing I’m realizing as I transition to vegan foods is the need to cook more often. 🥗

Most restaurants don’t have a lot of vegan options (even here in NYC, it’s kind of an “add-on” section on the menu, and dedicated vegan restaurants close down all the time), and vegan groceries are usually super-duper processed.

Looks like I’ll need to get over my fear of food processors and blenders. But at the same time, a mental note for myself that everything takes time, and I won’t just “learn kung fu”. It’s a life thing, not a week thing.
