• [[push]] [[gitea]]
  • [[vera]] installed gitea this weekend; just set it up so it's serving on https://git.anagora.org pull. Signups (username+password works just fine) open!
  • [[mirroring]] works great! simple to set up
    • I wonder how often it syncs -- if often enough, this could be a good UI for [[agora bridge]]
  • [[wiki]] for each repo gets stored in a 'hidden' repo associated with it: add .wiki before .git in the URL to clone
• [[push]] [[systemctl]]
  • systemctl list-unit-files | grep enabled to list all enabled services (add --user for user-scoped)
    • a bit weird this isn't... shorter? but oh well
• [[flancians]]

• When I'm first learning about some new thing, X, I get a lot more value in someone I know saying "I like X" or "I dislike X" or "I'm interested in X" or "I something X" than a detailed objective description of what X is.

• [[Birds of prey]] are also known as raptors!

  • [[Peregrin falcons]] are the fasted members of the animal kingdom. They can travel at 242 miles per hour!
  • [[Condors]] have wing spans up to 2.9m!

• [[There will be a fresh wave of Omicron cases in the early summer]], so sayeth Sage in The Guardian.

Today my first proper day in the agora! Still not fully hooked up with all the [[matrix rooms]] and whatever, and my internal links won't display properly until there's some kind of [[tiddlywiki]] affordance, but these are minor details.

I'm probably going to have to go figure out how awful $employer is about open source to be able to contribute properly to the code, aren't I. I am so very small a fry...

• Slowly but surely getting used to the [[Agora]].
  • I hope that the [[sequential wiki]] [[format]] becomes more [[popular]] with time. It's really neat, and a way to naturally foster [[interaction]] between [[digital gardeners]].
  • One of the cool things about the [[Agora]] is how one can indirectly interact with other [[people]] simply by using another person's [[subnode]] as an excuse to write your own.
• [[System]]
  • Though I'm not a big fan of [[daily note]]s or [[journal]]s in [[garden]]s, I've decided to make an exception for this [[digital garden]].
• [[Hypersystem]]
  • I need to figure out a way to customize [[Obsidian]]'s [[block ID]] [[syntax]] so that it follows my own [[syntax]] [[automatic]]ally.
    • While [[custom]]izing the [[block ID]]s manually is feasible for now, I know very well from [[experience]] that it's going to get unwieldy when I hit the thousands.
  • I hope [[Neorg]]'s [[Zettelkasten]] [[module]] gets implemented soon.
    • I'm still on my baby steps when it comes to learning to [[code]]; I'm far from being able to implement certain functions I need for my [[garden]]s from scratch.
• [[Meta]]
  • I should complete the [[Meta]] section soon.
    • Having a [[digital garden]] at the [[Anagora]] is going to be a nice way to test if the way I organize my [[digital garden]]s is both sufficiently translatable to others and able to translate others' ways of organization unto itself.
• [[Watch]]
  • Today I've [[watch]]ed [[Ascendeur pour l'échafaud]].
    • I've liked it a lot. Its [[plot]]'s [[essence]] was basically [[Murphy's law]].
    • It was a quite stylish [[movie]] to boot. One can't go wrong when your [[soundtrack]] was made by [[Miles Davis]].
      • This [[movie]] made a superb use of [[silence]].
    • This [[movie]]'s [[plot]] had the [[World War II]] and [[French imperialism]] as an ever-present [[background]], even if it never was its main focus.
  • I've been really on a [[film noir]] [[binge]] lately.
• [[Ricing]]
  • I believe I'm almost done with [[custom]]izing [[Obsidian]]'s [[CSS]].
    • 
    • I should try to find a [[bitmap]] [[proportional font]] with a wide enough [[charset]] that I can use in [[preview]] mode to match the [[bitmap]] [[monospace font]]s I use. If this is not feasible (as I fear), I could still use this font, which is readable enough even if it is monospaced: https://github.com/cbytensky/cnxt
    • Is there an [[Obsidian]] [[extension]] to change its icons?
• [[Health]]
  • I need to schedule a check-up with an [[ophthalmologist]] soon.
    • The [[pandemic]] hasn't been great for my [[eye health]].
