Sidequestion: currently I am running a TiddlyWiki for myself with private and public tagged posts. The intention was, to make non-private tiddlers (posts) public at one point in the future. Now I have found https://github.com/usememos/memos whis looks really nice. If I find out how to skin it a bit to have wider text, I shortly thought about switching over. No InterWiki Links so, but that is doable by linking manually.
What do you guys think of this?
@carsten@yarn.zn80.net I kind of use HedgeDoc for a similar purpose actually 👌
@carsten@yarn.zn80.net This looks interesting though 👌
@carsten@yarn.zn80.net I had a look at it when you posted this a few days ago, and I couldn’t help but wonder whether one could just do the same sort of thing with a separate yarnd instance 🤣
@carsten@yarn.zn80.net Yes yes. Good point. It does not. Something to consider though… We’ve had a few discussions on this over the years, but nothing has ever “stuck” (yet).
@carsten@yarn.zn80.net For your case, you could have a basic auth over your yarn instance maybe?
@carsten@yarn.zn80.net I see, I have no idea for any alternative that’s simple to handle for your case.
@carsten@yarn.zn80.net “It’s too complicated”, “Use what everyone else use” or “Why I can’t do X only with you?”
I’ve heard those phrases too many times.
My way of doing is a bit weird but help others know that I’m always reachable, but not in a way others do.
I purposely delay everything from what I don’t like to use
Ranging from days to weeks or months, messages or content shared via WhatsApp or other similar medium, a Facebook link (I don’t have FB) is ignored, a group chat is totally ignored even when mentioned.
I’m always immediate on answering via direct messages and calls, I also always say this “What do you need help with?” like a good family call center to see for what reason they contact me.
Doing so for many years has paid off greatly.
Some cut ties by saying I’m antisocial (partly true 😎) and never care for me again, not that they cared before, others stopped writing to me and directly choose to call or video call, “just to see me”, it makes me happy to know that, others started inviting me to their house for lunch or dinner just to meet me.
That’s what I did, if someone care for you they’ll find ways to interact with you and maybe they’ll try to understand and (and maybe adopt) your ways of doing and tools.
@justamoment@twtxt.net I like that way, and personally follow something similar.
IMO it’s OK to be opinionated, to respect differences. One example is with Operating Systems. Do you want to use Mac, Win, Ubuntu? That’s OK. You say that ecosystem is better? Nice, enjoy it!
My curiosity goes on understanding the good, the bad and the ugly parts of the tech we use, and, why not? Having a great conversation with a beer or our favorite drink when it’s more convenient to both. Calling is caring 🙂
@eaplmx@twtxt.net that’s right. I’d use something like WhatsApp to chat if the other party don’t understand the difference, but if you know and you’re stubborn I’ll negotiate an alternative or leave it alone.
@carsten@yarn.zn80.net I like calls, but I don’t like to be interrupted.
What has worked for me, and many from my generation is a short msg like “Available for a call? / Sure”
Also https://eapl.mx/15 has been really useful to have a call in the future
@abucci@anthony.buc.ci A good friend and old colleague of mine (CTO) has this rule. He will not accept a call unless you’ve emailed him ahead of time or he already has you in his contacts. I was thinking about doing something similar to this myself one day, never accept a phone call unless a) I have you in my contacts or b) You’ve emailed me ahead of time. – Quite a clever strategy IMO 👌
@abucci@anthony.buc.ci I think it’s a good approach, but in my case a friend with a shop shared my business cards with their clients and other shops he worked with so I sometimes have calls from strangers looking for me for works or commissions so I usually keep my phone at hand (or at least know where it is).
If I didn’t do that, I too wouldn’t use my phone at all some days, except for things I read or research.
