• Soon :)
• I’m liking [[beeper]] a lot, here’s my [[beeper]] (which is [[matrix]]): https://matrix.to/#/@flancian:beeper.com
• I [[cried]].
  • A [[relative]] send [[30 year old videos]] my way and it was quite an experience to watch them!
  • It felt like relief in some way.
• [[Flancia]]
  • [[Flancia meet]]: at https://meet.evolix.org/flancia
• Read about [[Ahriman]] and [[Zoroastrianism]].
• Trying to figure out how to make [[silverbullet]]:
  • Easily create daily pages for me.
    • For now I need to go to another page and link the current date; or just create a page with the date as its name manually. [[Suboptimal]], although not terrible.
    • Update: it seems the [[Template]] [[plug]] is the way to go: https://silverbullet.md/Plugs/Template
      • Quote: The {[Open Daily Note]} command navigates (or creates) a daily note .
  • Let me navigate to the previous page.
    • This is easy actually, just alt-left as per browser conventions.
  • Now reading about [[plugs]]

• On the plus side, it turns out [[silverbullet]] does have journaling facilities by installing the [[Journal]] library: https://silverbullet.md/Library/Journal

• On the negative side, it defaults to a weird Journal/Day prefix :)
  • I get what they're going after as apparently they want to support /Week as well, and weekly journals make sense to me.
  • But I prefer a flatter structure than that -- looking into customizing.
• Again it took me until 7pm to get into a situation I could call [[focus]], let alone [[flow]]; earlier I did useful things that needed to take place (like cleaning around the house and such), but that produced only diffuse output.
• [[doom]]:
  • On impulse I bought and installed [[doom 2016]] today (it was on sale). I played half an hour and I'm not sure I'm into it. I played and loved [[doom]] and [[doom 2]] as a kid, but this is a newer game and I'm an older person :)
    • The graphics are good and I wanted to try out the 'shoot at things without much of a plot' experience again, and I got that.
    • But I don't like you can't save/quicksave. It's all checkpoint based (whyyy).
    • And I didn't have as much 'fun' with it. Maybe it's too violent to maintain my interest nowadays.
    • But I may yet come back to it.
• [[Moloch]]:
  • By [[Kuprin]]:
    • Makes direct references to the stock market, which surprised me -- it was a factor in Russian society earlier than expected (this is from [[1896]].)
    • [[page 72]] in my edition has the first direct reference to [[Moloch]] by name.

  • Bloody tech bros building their shit without any democratic process or thinking through the repercussions.
