Is it possible to run Gemma or similar models on Raspberry Pi.
Is anybody able to do this using mobile? It's hard to carry books everywhere. Mobile phone is always there.
Are there organizations or individuals using AI to solve world problems if they are so powerful as these companies are saying?
It would have been great if Excalidraw made it easier to do manage multiple scenes. I use its PWA and save individual files on the disk.
What tool can be used to resolve syncthing conflicts? I get a lot of.stversion files.
Earlier, I had a simpler todo system using pen and paper. There was a weekly list which exchanged tasks with daily list. The daily tasks were prioritized in three categories immediately, today, and this week.
Now since I am managing multiple teams, this is not longer scalable. Also majority of work revolves around Slack. People post stuff that I need to follow up at a later stage. I copy these posts and put them into the todo list file.
1. As text files get longer you lose view of things unlike paper. I still feel limited and strong difficulty in fully adopting an online todo system.
2. Many other stuff like Slack threads are difficult to get into todo files. They also lose context. This I would say is a modern problem.
What do you guys think?
How do you guys save Slack messages which you want to either read or follow up at a later stage?
1. I was manually dumping the the link and manually adding the title.
2. Slack lists seems to be okayish but doesn't let me tag easily. Message is not highlighted as much as Later feature does.
3. Trying out Notion but it doesn't show message upfront.
What is the good solution to sync text files? I haven't found a good solution that is open source and self-hosted. Ideally, eventually, my setup should give me real time syncing the same level as multiple people editing the same file. But that is a stretch goal.
I am currently using Syncthing but unfortunately it's client app has been removed from Google Play [1]. I am managing with Syncthing-Fork.

The number of apps that offer note-taking functionality is exploding. It solidifies Emacs' community's point of view that all these custom tailored solutions become a limiting factor for many. But to learn Emacs and Elisp is not trivial.
* Any particular resources you followed to learn Elisp.
* What sort of time investment did it require for you to build your own system based out of Emacs?
* How are you syncing your files?
How different does it feel to take notes on Rm2 compared to pen and paper? Can you be equally effective on taking handwritten notes on Rm2?
Do you have any hooks setup to automatically commit/push if file changes are detected?
How does one hide completed tasks from org mode?
How do/would you use it over various systems? What's the best way to cloud sync this? One might have to use it on work machine with restrictions around installing apps.
I am still using Orgzly because it supports Dropbox.
I guess it would lack a web interface for me to quickly download a single picture/video.
Do you guys have suggestions for backing up media (photos and videos)?
Is their any difference in storing to B2 via Restic or Duplicity vs BackBlaze Computer Backup?
Do you have access to your file via mobile access, sharing feature, etc.? https://www.backblaze.com/cloud-backup
You can pretty much leave communities in auto mode and nothing will happen. A few posts will get blocked. A few people will get annoyed. It is both difficult to encourage and discourage people to participate in Reddit communities.
1. Reddit is a private company and if you don't like their practices then maybe you want to stop using their services.
2. There is nothing stopping people who don't care about this to create new and similar subreddit.
Karabiner is amazing and unfortunately I haven't found an equivalent on Linux. I use Karabiner for the following usecase.
* Mapped both caps lock and return key when they are clicked with another key to act as Ctrl. When they are clicked alone without combination then they work as ususal.
SMS is another one that is hooked on to the mobile. To some extent Messages app helps on Android regarding this.
I am able to focus on work but even when I am super busy with work I will spend a lot of time on mobile. So it doesn't interfere with work but does interfere with health and overall well-being.
I have removed all social media apps from my device including Instagram, Twitter, and LinkedIn. I don't use media streaming apps on mobile like YouTube.
I do spend a lot of time reading on mobile that is helpful but it does train my focus to constantly context switch and reduces my ability to focus for non-appealing tasks for a long period like reading books.
Only thing that has helps is putting the device away but banking apps, TOTP, etc. makes it difficult.
But I have unsuccessfully tried DND, gray screen, etc.
There is research that reducing mobile usage by an hour a day improves wellbeing. But I don't know how to tackle this situation in a sustainable manner.
Writing blog taked time and it has become difficult to take time out for it between busy work schedule and personal life. I wonder how highly productive people do it.
How is Chezmoi compared to Stow? Currently using Stow but Chezmoi seems to be interesting.
It's useful if you have a second machine or even work machine where you want to keep your bash profile, IDE settings, etc. in sync.
Those who are nomad or tend to travel a lot, do you stroll or visit places during work day (weekdays for most). Or do your working days look the same as your home base.
With side learning/coding and personal hobbies I don't find time to write.
I guess I also waste a lot of time on internet as well.
Which Wacom tablet should I get? Would an iPad be a better choice for note taking? How do Wacom and iPad compare hardware wise?
