    One time I went to buy a power tool that was on sale at Home Depot. I did the self checkout and the sale did not ring up correctly. I got one of the employees attention and they just told me there was nothing they could do, whatever it rings up as is the price and they can't change it. No amount of pointing at the massive sale sign would change that.

    So I put it back and bought it from an online site that was having the same sale. Fuck Home Depot... Since then I go out of my way to not shop there.

    It's not illegal to modify a gun, it's illegal to modify a gun into a gun that meets certain criteria to then become illegal. The crime isn't modification of the gun, the crime is the possession of a (now) illegal gun.

    No, in your case the crime isn't the fact that you modified the rifle, the crime is that you modified it into an illegal version of the rifle. The crime is possession of a full auto rifle.

    If I take a rifle that was setup for one caliber and modify it so it can shoot a different caliber, that's not illegal.

    yes? you can legally purchase a plane without a license... did you read my comment? purchasing != using. You don't need a pilot "under current contract" you could buy a plane and taxi it around the airport if you want without any licenses.

    You can, you just need to hire a pilot if you want to fly in it. How do you think rich people fly around in their jets? Do you really think the pilots own the planes?

    I think what you want is either plex or Jellyfin which will give you a nice UI to browse your already downloaded files.

    Now how do you browse new releases and figure out what you want to download? I just setup https://overseerr.dev/ to go along with sonarr, radarr, prowlarr, nzbget, transmission... it's a lot of different services but they all work well together. Now to look for new movies, I or my family goes to Overseerr to request downloads, then plex to watch.

    I had a coworker come to me with an "issue" he learned about. It was wrong and it wasn't really an issue and the it came out that he got it from ChatGPT and didn't really know what he was talking about, nor could he cite an actual source.

    I've also played around with it and it's given me straight up wrong answers. I don't think it's really worth it.

    It's just predictive text, it's not really AI.

    I've been listening to A History of Rock Music in 500 Songs and let me tell you, the music industry can fuck right off. Small indie label? I'll probably buy it, but one of the major record labels? Set sail mateys.

    If you are looking for FOSS, I highly recommend joplin. It's simple but works well. I used it for many years until recently I switched to Obsidian. I dislike that Obsidian isn't FOSS but I'm using the free tier and the community plugins really make it so much more powerful than Joplin. They both store things in Markdown so I'm not locked down to their ecosystem which I think is a requirement for any note taking app.

    I did, I couldn't seem to get it to work. Mobius just didn't seem to be able to connect to the obsidian app folder. Maybe I'm just doing something wrong but this would be ideal for me because I already had syncthing syncing to my NAS as well. Maybe I'll revisit it at some point.

    Nice, last night I self-hosted a couchdb server and setup https://github.com/vrtmrz/obsidian-livesync

    So far it's working well though I had forgot to set the encryption key on one device which caused it to try and sync the encrypted version so I had a bunch of conflicts to resolve. Once that was sorted though, it's been working well and I can sync stuff to my iPad now. We'll see long term how it works.

    I haven't, I'll have to check it out. I have an iPad but need to figure out a good way to sync notes without paying $10/month. (The iPad doesn't working with Syncthing or google drive :( )

    Agreed, there are a bunch of great videos out there but she has a bunch that really started to show me how powerful this app really is.

    Nicole van der Hoeven has some great videos on using some of the plugins. I'd recommend checking out:

    • Templater
    • Dataview
    • QuickAdd
    • Tasks
    • Natural Language Dates
    • Calendar
    • Advanced Tables

    I have a few more plugins I'm using but I use the above daily.

  • So a friend of mine recommended Obsidian ages ago and I looked at it but thought I was happy using Joplin (another text-based note tool) which I still think is a great app. Took a brief look at it and thought it was just too complicated... Then recently, I went down a youtube rabbit hole watching videos of how people use Obsidian... OMG 🤯 Now I have 2x Vaults, one for work and one personal. Dataview, templater, quickadd, periodic notes have just changed everything. Now I have documents for each person at work with their basic info and then when I make a meeting, I can just tag them which then updates a dataview table that shows what meetings I've been in with them. Tasks allows me to just create a bunch of todos in random notes and then I can create a table to show all my undone tasks. I mean, why did I wait so long? I've been using it for about 10 days now and it's been such a game changer. Sorry Joplin.
