@daremo Nice. I've been using a bullet journal for about a year now. Though my "system", for lack of a better term, is a Frankenstein mix of bujo, GTD, and lean/kanban.

@daremo I do all of my task management and daily note taking in a paper bullet journal. The zettelkasten is forcing me to review my notes each week, clean them up, and get them organized properly for future reference.

@daremo I'm sticking with the electronic version, but this time I'm simplifying things. I've got a Markdown files, a text editor, and a git repository. I want the ability to search, and I really like the ability to hyperlink notes together.

@daremo So, I've created things similar to a zettelkasten in the past. (My previous version is a OneNote notebook.) I'm definitely seeing advantages to the organization system and the ability to link concepts together.

@daremo My understanding of the system is you create sub-notes for the elaboration. If you have a topic A, with ID 100000, when you want to add to it you create a new note A' with ID 100000a (or something similar) to keep them grouped together. Instead of rewriting, and the domino effect that comes with it, you treat the system as append-only.

@gray You're not wrong.

@daremo I'm interested how it works out for you. I recently started one myself. I opted for a git repo full of interlinked Markdown files. I figure that's reasonably future proof. I do use a paper journal for my daily notetaking and task management though.

I wrote a short article about weird corner cases I've encountered with Jenkins pipelines and Groovy.

@cooper Pardon the non-FOSS nature of this one.

I was really feeling down in the dumps until I installed my new Office upgrade. It really improved my Outlook.

@cooper A QA tester walks into a bar and orders a beer, 2 beers, 10 beers, 4,294,967,295 beers, 0 beers, -1 beers, a pet bunny, asdfqwerty.

@cooper I was going to tell a UDP joke, but I was afraid you wouldn't get it.

@kev Thanks for that. I've been contemplating setting up a home server with Nextcloud and this gives me some additional data points to consider.

@sir If keeping it to the past 3-4 years, I would go with:
Into the Breach
Tangledeep
Hollow Knight

@Citizenzibb I was interested in it's container-first approach. I've used Silverblue/Atomic Host a bit and was interested in checking out a similar distribution. I'll stick with Silverblue the time being.
