Title or How to use mod powers on users, that haven't posted in that community yet?

Thank you for this brief history lesson! I had never heard of St. Augustine and his treatise.

How do you think his argument fares now that the concept of purgatory exists?

[-] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

The assurance that you can just write without having to worry about where the note goes is so powerful.

Exactly this! Thank you!

And thanks for the suggestions, I will check them out!

If I set my view settings from All or Local to Subscribed, I still see posts from communities to which I am not subscribed and to which I, I think, never had been subscribed to.

Why is that? How can I only see content from the communities, that I have subscribed to? This other content drowns them out.

No need to apologize. Thank you for sharing your idea. I'll keep an eye out for natural folders. I think I still have two folders that qualify for this as stated in my post: a diary folder and a template folder.

[-] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

This is what I mean.

The more folders, the more work it is to sort and find.

The less folders, the more cluttered each folder becomes.

The only sensible solution is to completely move away from manually browsing notes and instead using the built-in search function or index notes.

[-] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Yes, but my folders were also long lists, which was very annoying. It doesn't matter at some point, if you have 10 long lists or only one. You start using the built-in search function and indexing more and more anyway.

[-] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

I understand what you mean, but there are still the backlinks from the parent-child relationship. So my index notes don't lose their usability just because dataview is no longer supported.

I was really hooked by Obsidian right from the start. It's one of these things, where you feel the potential electrifying your fingertips. My first few notes were clumsy, as expected, but I also expected it to get better over time. I read something about Evergreen Notes and tried to apply those principles. I still sorted everything into neat folders though, some of which had sub-folders and it felt structured, but it felt like I wasn't getting the most out of Obsidian, not even a fraction. The process of sorting my notes into folders and searching for notes within those folders also became a tedium and I started forgetting about notes, just because I couldn't find where I put them.

Once I watched Nicole's video on the LATCH method, something clicked. I copied her format and adapted it for my use. I established parent-child-links between my notes, created index notes listing child notes via Dataview and today.. today I finally got rid of all folders (except one diary folder). They didn't give my vault good structure, but actually obfuscated information, and once I used LATCH they were obsolete.

What are your thoughts on and experiences with folders and linkage?

Do you have a method of organizing, that you want to share?

I would love to hear your thoughts.

I think they want to put this into historical context, like when people point to the fact, that the University of Oxford was founded more than 400 years before the Aztec Empire.

Thank you for the honesty! Rural area, harvest season and summer heat make perfect sense. I hate that I can't do anything about it though :c

Hi Gardeners!

I need your advice! I am plagued by these tiny bugs. They are everywhere around the flat. They come in through the windows and the balcony and hang around the walls and the ceiling. They can fly and notoriously land on people, which is very annoying.

I suspect that these are thrips, but I am no expert and would like confirmation. If these are thrips, then I do not understand why they are here, because there are no plants around. Neither inside nor on the balcony.

What can I do to get rid of them? How can I prevent them from coming inside? Reminder: They are inside, so I would not like to spray insecticide around.

Thanks in advance!

Works like a charm! I didn't know that I could query not just from tags but from any YAML key. Thank you!

How can I search for notes using the built-in search plugin, which supports regex, to search for notes that have no entry in specific keys within the frontmatter?

I am using templater and thus am using my frontmatter looks like this:

---

aliases:

publish: false

tag:

---

%%

date:: [[2023-07-11 Tue]]

parent:: [[XYZ]]

%%

Searching for "parent:: " works fine, but I want to find notes that do not have a parent note yet. For this I tried parent:: /$ as indicated here and here, but this and other variations like parent:: /\$/ do not yield any results.

Where am i going wrong?

I didn't think about this, but it makes perfect sense. Somebody else also posted that solid food by definition would require too many carbs and amino acids so that the relation to water and electrolytes can by definition not be isotonic to the human body.

I know that Isotonic drinks contain similar concentrations of salt and sugar as in the human body, which makes the drink feel refreshing. Osmosis and so on. Isotonic drinks are not limited to what is branded as sport drinks - a mix of juice and sparkling water can also be isotonic.

Thus I was wondering, if there could be solid isotonic foods. It should be possible for a type of food to contain similar concentrations of salt and sugar as in the human body right? Does that exist? If so, does it feel as refreshing to eat as it feels to drink isotonic drink? If it doesn't, why not?

Inb4: frozen isotonic drinks are not the answer I am looking for.

In Germany we have a relatively good social security system. If you are unemployed, there are basically two types of unemployment benefits that you can apply to. If you don't qualify for the first one, normal unemployment benefits (ALG1), then you would qualify for the second one (ALG2), which covers people who are not habitual workers.

The ministry of work and the jobcenter (yes, those are two different departments) however utilize a principle called Zuflussprinzip, which means that your eligibility for benefits is based on when you received your last salary as opposed to for which month that same salary was meant to compensate you.

An employer, with whom one might not have parted in good, might delay payment of your salary, so that it arrives on your bank account on the next month, thus making you ineligible to receive unemployment benefits for the first month of your unemployment.

inb4: An application for benefits for the gap month doesn't work for multiple reasons: already employed and/or has to be applied for in advance.

source: Happened to me.

Hi,

I have a nine-month old BC. Whenever we see another dog on the horizon, he gets out of control, meaning he is focused on the other dog, wants to go to them and pulls the leash to do so and doesn't listen to me. In the interaction with other dogs he is a ball of energy that doesn't come to a standstill, which eventually exhausts other dogs until they turn aggressive, because he doesn't leave them alone.

  • What did I do wrong?
  • How can I get him to be more calm?
  • How can I get him to acknowledge boundaries, when other dogs signal their annoyance?

He also nips other dogs during play (herding behavior?). How can I get him to stop that and play with other dogs without using his teeth?

Any help is much appreciated :)
