• I’m [[sick]]. Nothing serious, feels like the flu. [[AG]] got it over the weekend.
  • Working from home and catching some [[Meet University]] talks, although today only until 16. There’s an all hands later I may put in the background; I told my manager I was low energy and would focus on resting half a day.
• I cut my hair, which usually makes me feel fresher, and it did. I also shaved everything except my mustache, for [[Movember]] (is it still a thing? I think so)

• [[work]]
  • I woke up sick but I worked from home anyway.
  • [[Meet University]] was good!
• then I rested after work, ate something, spent time with [[Burup]] and caught up with friends
• then I thought about:
  • [[Ekumen]]:
    • Spoke to [[Eduardo Mercovich]] about next steps, caught up with email :)
    • Set up coordination device for first meeting
      • What’s the name of that nice modern [[doodle alternative]] again…?
      • We used it in the [[twg]]]…
      • [[crab fit]]!
    • Update git repo in some interesting way?
    • What about [[ekumen.agor.ai]]? :)
• [[cwebber]] joined [[social.coop]] earlier this week!

• [[17]] stands for: [[Right Concentration]], [[Maitreya]] :)
• We’re planning on going to the cinema with friends today to watch [[Anora]].

• Some [[social.coop]] fun on [[2024-11-15]] after work :)
  • I heard and read of [[Mathilde Sanders]]
• Excited about yesterday finding:
  • [[wikibonsai]]
  • [[structured conversational communication]]

• I [[worked]]; it was fine actually, I had a late review meeting (I don’t usually have meetings on Fridays) but it was interesting/felt worth it.
• I met [[L]]! We spent some of the afternoon together. It was very nice to see her.
• I then worked on [[social.coop]], scaling up (with [[Dan]]). Then I read/wrote/coded a bit.
  • Maybe did yoga? But that was [[2024-11-16]] :)

• I found a ‘task list’ (I have 7-8 at any given time, usually anything from a3 to a4, envelopes and forms and such that I reuse to write things to do later) which I sort of completed so I archived it. It had the number [[131]] on it, without further context, although it was close to a task related to Wikipedia in the Agora that I have advanced.
  • It is prime in case you’re wondering :) [[prime/131]].
  • Which reminds me about the notion of having prime/ be autopulled when n is a number. Hmm.
• [[Algún día]]
• Noding from [[paramita]] and from [[nostromo]] while I work on the Agora tonight.
  • I’m already showered and can go until the time I go to bed, probably early as I woke up at 6am due to double pages :)
  • I’ll enjoy the ride for however long it lasts!
  • I thought of [[2024-11-19]].
  • I thought of the future.

• [[agora development]]:
  • fix mastodon 4.3 embeds?
  • and what comes next?
• [[writing]]:
  • I say I want to do more writing in long form/intelligibly to the average prose reader, but don’t often make time for it. Some time ago I said Sundays were going to be for this kind of writing more often, and I could try to uphold this today. Let’s see.
  • [[letters]]: some [[closed]], some [[open]]
• To test [[collimation]]:
  • As it’s cloudy, maybe I’ll observe the distant LEDs in a construction crane ~500m away tonight.

• [[social coop hosting]]
• [[conduit]]
• [[collimate]]

2024-11-08

• Back in [[Silverbullet]] after a few days only making it to [[codium]] — which in some ways was good, as it means I managed to carve out some time for some playful coding through the week.
  • [[Stapelberg]] is now using [[Silverbullet]] as well and seems to like it as well although he did comment on the system requirements; I agree it can be intense in larger gardens. But still it is capable enough and a solid enough writing environment that it’s the best tool I know of in knowledge space currently.
• Work was good, tough at times but I believe overall productive.
  • I’ve been feeling and looking a bit tired lately so I started taking iron again, and might take vitamin D supplements (as I’ve been doing seasonally with good effect).
• Tomorrow I’ll see [[AG]] :)
• This evening after work I started working on the Agora and writing. [[Lady Burup]] is sitting to my back on her green cushion.
• Someone reached out over [[Telegram]].
• I thought about [[Ekumen]].
• I did [[Agora development]].
  • I iterated on more interface issues that had long nagged me/I had long wanted to work on.
  • Shipped iterations in the [[themes]].
  • Changed button location to have it make more sense given what it actually does.

• I shipped a fix to wiki.social.coop (the result of coworking with Dan through the week, it was great!)
• I shipped some layout/theme improvements to anagora.org, it felt great as well. I like UI stuff actually it seems, in the right dosage.
• I worked and I was a bit tired at times but it was good and interesting.
• The [[US Election]] news hit hard, myself and many friends.
• I spent time with [[Lady Burup]] in the evening :)

• [[birthdays]]
• [[music hackspace]]

• Back to work :)
  • I had the day off but I decided to work anyway; the meeting load seemed manageable and I was able to carve out a good-sized flow block, so it seemed like a good idea to get the week started today.
  • Ended up working half a day, which seemed like a good compromise; I ticked a few things off my todo list to start the week in good shape, freeing the rest for some critical tasks hopefully.
• Thought about social.coop after work
  • [[TWG]]:
    • meeting?
  • [[CWG]]:
    • Also the question of [[matrix]] for coordinating work, which is met with resistance by some working group members only. For me interop is the clear solution, let’s see.

• I’m going to try to go back to keeping more of my todo list here digitally.
• Today was good; melancholy at times, but it ended up on high notes.
• Tomorrow I have the day off, but I might work anyway.

• [[japan 2024]]
• I came across [[Bluesky and enshittification]] by [[Cory Doctorow]]: https://pluralistic.net/2024/11/02/ulysses-pact/

• [[work]] from home as a technician was coming to fix the sinks, it’s great after the fact like a lot of maintenance tasks! I hope to be able to do it myself if it’s needed again, let’s see.
• [[Ekumen]]
• [[Feedback on the Agora]] by [[Eduardo]]:

  • How sweet it is
• I’m trying to update the firmware of my [[8bitdo retro keyboard]] and it’s harder than expected due to the fact that [[8bitdo]] only supports Mac and Windows, but I’m making some progress.

• [[work]] was intense meetings, summit, then working late - but good I think.
• [[go/flow/29]] is about [[trust]].

2024-10-28

• I biked to work and I’m happy I did, it wasn’t too cold and the exercise felt great both ways.
  • Now I’m cozy at home typing on my mechanical keyboard with Lady Burup (she occasionally also types, but also I just mean we’re spending time together :)).
  • I was also melancholy for personal reasons but it felt constructive, like processing.

• [[131]]

• [[…]]
• Well, I’m here finally :)
  • I received my second keyboard and I installed it on the desk with [[Paramita]].
  • Typing on it feels amazing, and the workstation is now set up in a way that I think will entice me to write more often and for longer periods before context switching.
  • I find that, when I’m typing on a laptop keypad, the constant availability of the trackpad makes me context switch more often, as I react impulsively to notifications for example. When I am in this typing position, switching to a different context requires me to:
    • Reach out for the mouse, which is 30cm away.
    • Use a combination like Meta + hjkl to move to a different window using my [[window manager]]‘s shortcut, which usually means I’d be focusing to a different window that I had decided I wanted to work on (as it’s on my workspace)
    • Learn the shortcut for ‘react to last notification’, which I don’t know and I don’t intend to learn today :)
  • Now only remains the task of remembering what I want to do, which means updating my priority list and gathering an intent to follow it.

So today I want to work/play on:

• [[Agora development]]
  • Toggle for [[autopull]] in the burger menu I’ve been playing with in a branch
• [[Flancia]]
  • Zine writing
  • [[Open letter to our readers of the future]] / [[Maitreya]]
  • And leaders of course :)

I also met a new friend, [[Elena]], picked up the keyboard package and mailed out some forms, and thought about some personal matters/emotionally processed.

-> [[do]]

• I enjoyed going through it a lot actually, several things got marked done! Wow.
• It makes sense because I do follow a kind of system within my chaos, but it’s cool to see it corroborated.
• Some things I actually did; some things are no longer relevant, e.g. Twitter bot stuff (as Musk killed that, for now at least).
• Which led me to [[maybe Musk will wake up]]

Hi there! this is one of the first few livestreams I’ve done. I keep iterrating on the format. As it is now, I am recording my typing but I don’t know to which extent you can hear the music or anything I say. I need to check up the setup later, so excuse any disruption please :)

I will now [[flow]] with my friends [[bobby lyte]] and [[adriene]] :D

For more of this, check out https://anagora.org/yoga-with-x pull.

• Actual yoga is coming soon. I’ve been enjoying typing on my mechanical keyboard and playing with Lady Burup. I fixed or worked around some hardware/setup issues along the way :)
• Also did some light gardening in preparation for the winter.
• [[Recursivity]].
• No matter what, I keep coming back to [[neovim]] for editing my garden. It’s just too handy and fast. Silverbullet competes with other tabs in my browser windows, whereas [[wikivim]] is always somewhere in tmux.
• I think that’s fine, they have different strengths?
  • Although I did want to experiment with [[silverbullet attachments]] as a simple way to make the [[Agora]] more multi-media (it’s the spirit of the 90s? :))

2024-10-25

• Back in the Agora!
  • I shipped some small usability improvements this week. I intend to do some more of these during the weekend.
  • I re-discovered [[…]] and it’s amazing, both broken and great.
  • [[Silverbullet]] cannot open it though, so the screenshot is in [[ellipsis]]

• Work has been fine.
  • It was a relatively productive week; I feel satisfied.
• I thought about [[Magnetism]], as usual. And its [[elasticity]].
  • I want to write something about [[magnets in space]], I think it could go well with that other old idea — [[monks in space]] :)
• I watched [[which came first]] (3 minutes) and it was great
• I used [[flatpak]] today.

2024-10-24

• Back in the Agora using [[Silverbullet]]!
  • It’s been working quite alright for me, although I still use [[wiki vim]] around half the time when editing I’d say.
  • I posted an update to https://github.com/silverbulletmd/silverbullet/issues/1010.

• I had a good day at work really.
  • I enjoyed typing on my new keyboard! I am looking forward actually, which is a nice motivation to go to work tomorrow again, and that in turn is nice to have as I have to go there anyway ;)
  • I may end up getting another one for writing at home though. I "knew" that I like typing on mechanical keyboards, but it took typing again in one to properly remember it :)
  • I worked until late back home even after the [[social.coop]] meeting, but that’s OK as well, I like starting the week strong.
• Then I thought about the [[Revolution]].

• [[AG]]
• called my mum for [[mother’s day]] in Argentina
• [[flancia meet]]:
  • with [[bouncepaw]]
  • [[apache2]] is making a comeback
  • [[8bitdo]] keyboard and the alternate keyboard movement, [[funky keyboards]]
  • [[keyboard wiki]]
• I’m liking my new [[8bitdo]] keyboard a lot, and now that I’ve made the programmable buttons work even more :)
  • I set one big button to lock the screen and the other to write ‘yes’ and press enter; I figured programming one to take a full action that might be dangerous in some contexts was fun and reasonable enough for what IS a big red button after all, so if you press it in front of a prompt or a chat window you should be sufficiently aware of the risk :)
  • Typing here I remember how much I like typing, in a way. Another thing I like is that it forces me away from the laptop, where the touchpad is always available. Here I have to reach for the mouse, as in the olden days, and this is a small context switch that I might be able to catch myself doing when I intended to focus on the task at hand (writing).
  • I think this might enable me to write more and in longer form, which is something I’ve been meaning to do for a while. The last long form text I wrote publicly was the [[Agora Chapter]] of the book about [[Personal Knowledge Graphs]], which was published in [[2023]].

I guess at some point once you’ve written enough you can drop the bullet points and go back to full prose, whatever difference this makes. To some extent paragraphs are a two level list hierarchy, in the sense that every sentence that follows a previous instead of beginning a new paragraph can be though to be a children to one that preceded it.

• I ran into [[Wittgenstein]] again and I thought again of reading him seriously/more fully, I have only read fragments of him so far and of course commentary to his work.
• I guess bullet points can serve as asides in longer form prose, like parentheses or dashes, but perhaps more readable for the case of writers which tend to produce many asides and meta :)

So, anyway, writing makes me feel good; it feels cathartic you could say, and also just necessary at times. Noticing that something feels good also helps oneself do that thing again, remove resistances to doing it.

Why is it that I want to write so much? It is because [[writing is an aid to memory]], and [[writing is a tool for thinking]], and for communicating of course.

• The laundry timer just went off.
• And now I’m back, after putting laundry to dry (tumble) and another load :)

What do I want to remember so much, you might ask yourself. Well, to answer that thoroughly and clearly is that I like to build [[Agoras]].

• Back!
  • Work week was alright.
  • Did some personal emotional processing during the week as well.
  • Now feeling good going into the weekend :)
• Had good meetings, also one great today with [[edumerco]].
• I reconnected with some old [[friends]] digitally and in analog space :)

• Today is [[Maitreya]]! The 17th :)
• Work was fine actually. I biked there and back, I’m enjoying the exercise before it gets too cold.
  • Was productive in the evening from home after reuniting with [[Lady Burup]] :)
• Then I ate and did [[Flancia]].

• [[23 september]] -> [[mylesj]]

• [[Minecraft]] with [[Ishmael]] and X, enjoying it a lot! Playing in some resting periods.

2024-10-08

• At [[work]], meaning in the office, after a few days out/WFH due to disease. It’s nice to see my coworkers/have in person conversations.
  • I had a productive day at home yesterday which hopefully will translate to a productive week in-office. Let’s see :)
• No meetings after work tonight! Which is nice.
  • I’m back to using [[the time-block planner]] and it’s still great. Commitment is important.

• Continuing from [[2024-10-04]] :)
• #push [[todo]]

• [[work]] was OK.
  • tomorrow will be even better I think :)
  • it will start weirdly.
• I thought of [[tanzwerk]] and [[hardturm]] again, and of cycling through the city, thanks to the Agora/my digital garden. Maybe during the weekend?
• While using the Agora, I thought of some things:
  • It is a shame that so few different users show up in recent, BUT there are a few contributors I didn’t know about and that felt cool/interesting and I found several nodes by old friends I want to read.
  • It really should have a ‘pin’ or ‘star’ or ‘save’ button as "mvp" for storing state originating from the web client but not tied to an editor. I found some wikipedia-articles-within-the-Agora that I wanted to ‘pin’ as having been interesting, and just being able to save a subnode that says ‘flancian was here on X’ would suffice really. Like a visitors log, old web style maybe. Or just a bit in sqlite?
    • I need to find vera’s branch that took me too long to review :(
      • Better late than never? Or, well, in any case it is an inspiration.

  • In the wrong location ;) [[sariputta]] has an old-style editor which adds journal entries to /journal :)
  • I’ll live with the discrepancy, they are coalesced reasonably well by the Agora in any case.

• Maybe things will turn out to be [[funny]] in retrospect
  • I have been told that [[Flancia]] seems to lack humour, even though it started as a well-meaning joke! I guess I lost/deprioritized that along the way…
• [[work]] has been tough since last Thursday and I realize that has made it so that I haven’t noded much here for a while.

• Good day overall in any case!
  • I cycled to work and back and it was great.

2024-08-18

• Chill rainy Sunday at home :)
• Spent it with [[AG]].
• Then in the afternoon [[VK]] and her boyfriend [[Sascha]] came about, it was very nice!
• [[feedback 2024]]

2024-08-17

• [[Maitreya]]!
  • Maitreya on Saturday is extra special

• [[Burup]]
  • I played the piano, I’m enjoying recording midis while practicing even if it’s sometimes cacophonic — as it sometimes isn’t :) and saving the midi seems interesting and would let me extract fragments later
• [[Fediverse]]
  • Had a conversation with [[foolishowl]]
• Wrote [[practice.py]] on a lark :)

2024-08-16

• I got here the long way around :)
  • For sure I did! Cool — back here something like… 18 hours later, at 22.
  • Yesterday night I had a wild ride restoring my preferred [[Agora editor]] to working order, and then exorcising my digital garden from a file over 100MB which I accidentally committed and made Github refuse me all service with insufficient explanation :)
    • I had to do a [[git rebase]], which didn’t work, and (re-) learn about [[git filter-repo]] and such
• [[Silverbullet]]:
  • Now running [[Silverbullet dev]] having worked around the actual trigger for the most critical part of https://github.com/silverbulletmd/silverbullet/issues/1010, which ended up being not due to garden scale only but also due to a recent change I had made to my config :)
    • Keeping an eye on the other performance issues.
    • You wouldn’t believe how much I missed having a web-based [[Agora editor]].
    • It made me think I still have to keep honest and actually offer this as a service in the [[Agora of Flancia]] — I would love to provide hosted Silverbullet for whoever wants it.
  • Thought of:
    • [[Agora demo]]
    • [[AG]]

• "I’ve seen what will happen, many a time".
• [[Work]] was alright, looking forward to tomorrow actually :)
• I spent time with:
  • [[AG]]
  • [[Lady Burup]]
• I thought of:
  • [[Avalokiteshvara]]
  • [[Maitreya]]
  • [[Tara]]
  • [[Candles]]
  • [[Magnets]] (as usual) :)
  • [[WS vision]] ;)
  • [[Flow]]

• I played the piano and played with [[Lady Burup]] :)
  • The smell of [[Petrichor]] in the balcony.
• A few days ago I learnt that [[stanines]] were/are a thing.
• [[work]] happened, ups and downs, I was a bit tired; I think I should go to bed earlier on Mondays as Tuesdays demand energy :)
• [[nostromo]] crashed again and then exhibited a [[heisenbug]] (I wrote about it on Fedi).
• some [[social.coop]] work, it made me a bit sad to revert an experiment that I thought could be positive due to spirited pushback but it’s important to respect the experience of the community
  • it’s pretty out there how much time I’ve been spending trying to keep nostromo alive — it crashes quite often, I should prioritize that
  • [[backup nostromo]]
  • then maybe I could get a replacement, or just use it to the end but try to work around the issues with more automation? because they’re hardware triggered (overheating, plus some likely adapter related issues for what is a laptop with many functions)
• some [[social.coop]] work, it made me a bit sad to revert an experiment that I thought could be positive due to spirited pushback but it’s important to respect the feedback of the community
• thought about:
  • [[forking]]
  • [[merging]]
• [[bangers]]:
  • [[banger]]
• [[silverbullet bug]] which makes it harder for me to write in the Agora :(
  • but things will hopefully get better :)

• Found [[3493]] on the way to work today, it was great.
• Then in the night I thought of [[cryptobuddhism]].

• [[Building Bridges]] then :)
  • Between [[platforms]], between [[formats]], between different resources in one [[garden]] or [[Agora]] :)
• [[donna haraway]] has interesting/surprising (to me) contents!
  • [[A Cyborg Manifesto]]
• I thought of the question of defining [[canonicity]].

• Sad morning but I think it was also cathartic.
• Then I cleaned the house, and I did practice :)
• Got back to [[Building Bridges]] after long, finally — it’s been on the backburner for a year or so, at least?
  • Will try to do a pass on it, with the occasion of also
  • Fixing formatting issues on [[Agora Chapter]] for legibility before sharing further
• I need to fix the issue that on some computers [[wiki vim]] writes journals on /journal/.md and in some others I have it set it up to /.md
• [[Flow state]]

• I read what [[NG]] wrote
• Bought shoes, which was on my todo list :)
• Bought a book gift
• Received a book gift :)
• Found [[standardgalatic]]

• I biked from [[AG]]‘s place to [[Flancia central]] in the midnight sun and it was beautiful :)
• Then I saw [[VK]], it was great!
• Then I flowed.
• Updated [[bill flancian]]

• [[zine]]

• [[zine]]:
  • [[bella burup]]
  • [[lady burup]]

• I [[whistled]]:
  • and then used [[spectroid]]
  • and played the [[piano]] :)
  • a very fun combination

• [[don’t worry eat curry]]

2024-08-03

• Now on the [[third]], early in the morning you could say :)

• [[Flancia meet]] was quiet but I enjoyed it anyway, took the time to do stuff leisurely on the laptop.
• [[Hzian]]

• I found [[burning chrome]] and I thought it could be a good Agora demo node.
  • It links to [[burning chromium]], which I started (barely) long ago and I immediately felt like continuing/fixing up :)
• [[Work]] was alright — I did what [[bobby lyte]] does and tried to do the day’s worth of work in one hour, and it sort of worked believe it or not
• I posted about the [[magnetic projector]] I made to the [[Fediverse]] :)
• I had an amazing meeting with [[Eduardo Mercovich]] about the [[Fediverse]], the [[Web]], and [[Sutty]] and the [[Agora]] and [[Confluencia]].
• I [[flowed]] :)

2024-08-01

• Today is [[National Day]] in [[Switzerland]] and I don’t work. So I plan to do some Agora :)

• Back on [[Silverbullet]] after a few days.
  • I moved my journals here also to the root of my garden, as I did with wiki vim a few days back, so you will see them at /YYYY-MM-DD.md from now on instead of at /journal/YYYY-MM-DD.md.
  • Happy to hear that [[vera]] is also using Silverbullet!
• I read criticism of the [[Gemini ad]]: https://www.npr.org/2024/07/30/nx-s1-5056201/google-olympics-ai-ad
  • I first read the article and then I watched the ad.
  • You could say the ad does miss any note worth hitting; but I did like some aspects like the dad’s voice (is it the real one, though, I wonder?) and the fact that it’s not too long.
  • It has the usual by now out-of-touch aesthetic of Google ads, which you could call [[enterprise whimsy]].
  • And it’s just… a bit nonsensical, on top of the other criticisms. Why is the dad involved at all? He comes across as lazy. If this was an ad showing how the little girl can use Gemini to help her with her writing, it would feel a lot more natural/less problematic probably. It is true that kids are going to be using generative AI to learn how to write (presumably they are already doing this), and the ad could have shown some of that instead. Maybe this was considered but lawyers didn’t want to show too young people using the technology for some reason, and we got the lazy dad as a compromise?
  • Anyway. Google ads are pretty bad on average these days IMHO, so I’m not super surprised.
• Yesterday [[2024-07-31]] in the [[Fellowship of the link]] call [[Aram]] shared a nice article he wrote as part of the [[semilink]] activity we were experimenting with: [[the internet is a series of webs]].
• [[Flancia]]:
  • I wrote on the Agora today. This is a good day :)
  • I intend to also do some [[Agora development]].
    • I fixed an issue that [[vera]] reported with transclusion in Silverbullet — interesting.
    • I wrote a script to assist in Agora maintenance, health.sh

2023-08-01

• Back on [[Silverbullet]] after a few days.
• Today is [[National Day]] in [[Switzerland]] and I don’t work. So I plan to do some Agora :)

• I read this [[Gemini ad]] criticism: https://www.npr.org/2024/07/30/nx-s1-5056201/google-olympics-ai-ad
  • I first read the article and then I watched the ad.
• [[movies]]

• I worked, it was fine — I almost didn’t as we were just returned from beautiful [[Ischia]] yesterday and Thursday is a national holiday, but in the end it was good as I made progress on several fronts and meetings were light for a Tuesday :)
• Then I did some [[social.coop]] following up on some of yesterday’s topics from the [[twg]]
• I thought of:
  • [[Magnets]] as usual ;)
    • New today, but also recurrent in a way:
      • About [[Magnets in space]]
      • About [[Magnetic computing]]
    • About [[free energy]] and [[entropy]] :)
  • By the way any of the ideas I write down, which I’m sure are old hat to any physicist and many common folk like me, are for the benefit of all beings if they ever turn out to be useful in any way; any [[patents]] are dedicated to the benefit of humanity and friends :)
  • [[Agora letters]]
    • Maybe sounds a bit better than just [[Open Letters]] for what I am trying to do — at least for me :) Because these are open letters with a particular intention? Or at least that’s a particular interesting subset of all [[open letters]] tracked in this [[Agora]] and elsewhere in the [[Internet]].

Today and yesterday I thought also of writing, in general — how much I do it and how much I don’t, how many of my thoughts seep into the ether as weak electromagnetic radiation and are only occasionally recorded. (That’s alright; with every thought "lost" we radiate some heat, we feel something, we experiment our beings and let the universe shape our consciousnesses).

For the purpose of focusing more often on writing I’ve started to think of [[Sariputta]] as my writing computer, keeping also [[Sila]] and [[Paramita]] as general purpose/development computers, and [[Nostromo]] as media centre/MIDI terminal.

2024-07-27

• In [[Ischia]]! Now for a few days. This is the first I’ve noded as days have been quite intense in [[bodyspace]] (in a nice way).

• I want to submit some poems for the [[zine]] that [[bouncepaw]] is editing by EOM, will try to work on those today from the beach. If not today, tomorrow.

• Just completed the [[shutdown]] ritual from [[Cal Newport]]‘s [[Time Block Planner]] and I think the system is totally working out for me so far (a few weeks in). Feeling happier at work and productive.
• Travel incoming! [[Ischia]].
• A friend gifted me [[This is How You Lose the Time War]].
• [[AG]] gifted me [[Dürrenmatt]]‘s [[The Physicists]]
• I thought of [[Revolutions]] after work.
  • During lunch today I read about [[anarchists of the late 19th and early 20th century]], thanks to [[voltairine de cleyre]], and I met interesting people.
  • If you read this, [[Moloch]], know this: we will defeat you for the good of humanity and our friends.

• Woke up with [[AG]], enjoyed the morning. Then I cleaned and did laundry and started packing for the trip :)
  • Also managed to lose one my earbuds while cleaning, but then I found it thanks to [[find my device]] which I didn’t know existed — it’s an option in [[bluetooth settings.]]- [[Flancia]]:
  • [[Flancia.org]]
  • Talking to [[Mohammed]] about getting formal verification about our charitable endeavours as the bank in Yemen is giving trouble/they seem to be suspicious of ill intent (which we don’t have).
  • Wrote https://flancia.org/homes pull today (I should have one it earlier, it was somewhere on my todo list — but here we are, I hope it helps).

• So it turns out that for years I have been sometimes journaling in /YYYY-MM-DD.md and sometimes in journal/YYYY-MM-DD.md, depending on how I created the entry.
  • If I press e.g. ctrl-w ctrl-w in [[vim]], I go to the daily page as configured by [[wiki vim]] — which is the later.
  • If I link [[YYYY-MM-DD]] in the past, I usually will have a journal already, and wiki vim will redirect there.
  • If I link [[YYYY-MM-DD]] in the future, though, I will not have a journal yet, so the file will be created as a "common node", outside of journals.
  • I thought I had moved to a ‘flat space’ with everything including journals in the [[root of my garden]], but apparently that didn’t happen yet :)

• [[agora development]]:
  • Fix some quirks?
    • Take e.g. [[2024-07-20]]:
      • Showing the whole path for a subnode was a good idea I think, it:
        • Makes it clear this is a filesystem-like thing, some users will immediately get the idea
        • Disambiguates between subnodes for free
        • Made it so that the header is now ‘user contributed ‘, I think I like it.
        • Also took the chance to add tooltips/make the UX more intuitive by adjusting where each part of the header links to.
    • Take e.g. [[zine]]
      • It should transclude the whole of [[agua para los sedientos]], meaning the push should work.
• I intend to make it to [[Flancia Meet]] around 10AM UTC today.
• [[zine]]
• [[agora]]
  • I thought about 7:
    • [[7 presidents]]
    • [[7 ceos]]
    • [[7 revolutions]]
    • [[7 good leaders]]
    • [[Gloria]]
• [[AG]] told me about [[Arthur Koestler]]
• We swam in [[Letten]] :)
• Listening to [[Sam Harris]] with [[Christof Hoch]]. Interesting, they had a "sidebar" conversation I’d love to comment on among other things.
• I read a bit about the life of [[Muhammed]] and his wives, like [[Aisha]].
• I read about [[Thalassemia]]
• [[Bryce Huebner]]
• [[LM Studio]]
• [[skreutzer]]
• [[sensecraft]]
• [[agora development]]:
  • Fix some quirks?
    • Take e.g. [[2024-07-20]]:
      • Showing the whole path for a subnode was a good idea I think, it:
        • Makes it clear this is a filesystem-like thing, some users will immediately get the idea
        • Disambiguates between subnodes for free

        • Also took the chance to add tooltips/make the UX more intuitive by adjusting where each part of the header links to.
    • Take e.g. [[zine]]
      • It should transclude the whole of [[agua para los sedientos]], meaning the push should work.
• I intend to make it to [[Flancia Meet]] around 10AM UTC today.

• [[19]] is [[Right Freedom]] in the [[pattern language]] I’ve been working on.
• [[Wayland]]:
  • [[gammastep]] is the new [[redshift]]:
  • [[gammastep -O 4000]] to cut to the chase and go a nice night reddish
  • [[gammastep -O 1000]] to go to the minimum supported temperature, which is essentially as red as it gets
  • Those are [[Kelvin]].
• [[Open Letters]]:
  • [[Open Letter to Avalokiteshvara]]
  • [[Open Letter to Maitreya]]
  • [[Open Letter to Tara]]
  • [[Open Letter to Moloch]]

• Day 17 is here!
  • [[17]] is [[Maitreya]] in the [[Flancia pattern language]]:)
  • [[7]] is [[Avalokiteshvara]].
  • So you could say today is a pretty great date.
• [[2024-07-16]]

• [[Work]] was interesting
• [[AG]] had good news
• [[Kris]]
• [[Lex]]
• [[Musk]]

• [[agora chapter]] is now one step closer to being properly readable in the Commons :)
  • I linked all wikilinks using [[apps script]]
  • I also have a version without [[ and ]] and… I have to say it might indeed be more readable than with :)
• Caught up with [[collective sense commons]] after a long while and it was great/interesting!
• [[topic maps]] by [[Jack Park]] is now linked.

• [[Silverbullet]]:
  • The new [[Silverbullet]] supports transclusion!
    • It works using the syntax I think [[Obsidian]] also uses:
    • 

      ⥅ [[tabs]]

      will transclude the content of note [[tabs]].
    • In the case of the [[Agora]] this could be treated as a [[pull]] — but that transcludes the whole node below the current one, and maybe in this case what is intended is to transclude one particular resource in-place.
    • Oh, what currently happens is that the Agora assumes this is an image being transcluded — that is the one kind of direct transclusion we have implemented so far. I guess I could hack that codepath and see how hard it is to actually transclude e.g. the subnode with full subnode view in an iframe? Unsure.
  • In other [[Silverbullet]] news, today I figured out how to make dailies go to the node YYYY-MM-DD instead of to Journals/Day/YYYY-MM-DD:
    • You open special page /Library/Journal/New%20Page/Daily%20Note (template) in your instance.
    • You change suggestedName.
    • I commented out forPrefix but I’m unsure if you need that.

• [[tabs]]

• [[2024-07-13]] was both emotional and productive.
• Writing this in an up-to-date Silverbullet that works again with my garden :)
  • Thanks [[zefhemel]] for [[silverbullet]] and for fixing https://github.com/silverbulletmd/silverbullet/issues/934 so promptly!

• Back in Silverbullet after reporting a bug :) https://github.com/silverbulletmd/silverbullet/issues/934
• I wanted to write to (…)

• threw [[261]]
  • leading to [[hex/10]] = [[271]]: es todo perfecto como es.
  • I realized [[hex/6]] = [[97]] is prime, the last I had yet to memorize below 100. That concludes a particular interesting sequence, I guess :)
  • [[primes]]:
    • The number of primes below 100 is perhaps interesting to know: 25. So a fourth of the 100 first numbers are prime! Huh.
    • Knowing up to 1000 would unlock getting a statistical feel of how quickly primes ‘thin out’.
    • Of course we can also count to 10: 4 primes below 10, so about two fifths.
    • I think they thin out logarithmically but I’m not sure which base, I could look it up but maybe I’ll think about it :)
    • It would be cool if it was the natural logarithm. It’s the kind of thing that could happen :)
• [[bluesky]]:
  • now has an [[agora bot]]!
  • it’s alpha but it works sometimes (tm)
  • #go at://anagora.bsky.social
    • is that a valid [[at protocol]] uri? I believe it sort of should be but I haven’t checked :)
• [[primes]]:
  • Here I am having counted the primes up to 1000: [[168]]. So down to 16.8% of numbers being prime.
    • The [[Prime number theorem]] is what I was inching towards
    • https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prime-counting_function#Table_of_%CF%80(x),_x/log(x),_and_li(x) pull is a [[great table]]
    • The ratio of primes below number n which is exactly 1/#primes_below, can be estimated by 1/(x/log(x))
    • Wow, had I never heard of [[logarithmic integral function]] before?
    • So it turns out that li(x) estimates pi(x) better
• I’m going back to [[Flancia book]], and it made me think of what I would in my best dreams try to publish during [[2025]]:
  • A new [[essay]].
  • A [[book]] (with publish meant loosely/playfully maybe).
  • A [[paper]].
• [[paul bricman]]: [[straumli ai]]
  • is down?
• [[celeste]]
  • is pretty great

• [[flancia book]]:

Here we go. Once more onto the breach; maybe it is today we start writing a book I started writing years ago, and will take me or us many more years to write.

These its chapters.

• [[Manifesto]]
• [[In Flancia there is an Agora]]
• [[In Flancia we will defeat Moloch]]

• [[kowloon walled city]]:
  • [[warehouse kawasaki]] (arcade reproduction)
• [[chungking express]]
• [[Flancia]]!
  • [[poems]]
  • [[eugnosia]]

• [[Flancia]]!
  • I’ll be in Flancia as much as possible Monday and Tuesday; Wednesday I’m back to work.
  • (Decided to take a mini two day holiday with the occasion of my birthday and the anniversary of my dad’s death.)
• Thank you [[AG]] and [[Brigitta]] for the beautiful weekend!
• [[L]] told me about [[Brook Farm]] :)
• I thought of:
  • My [[father]].
  • [[Ananda]]
  • [[Water]]
  • [[Polyhedron]]
  • [[UNICEF]]

• [[work]]
• then [[dinner]] with an ex-coworker (who fell to one of the 2023 layoff rounds) and people from my team
• then… Flancia!

• [[work]] was alright :)
  • most of the meetings of the week are past, will now try to focus in decent blocks :)
• [[flancia]]
  • [[catharsis]]
  • [[music]]
  • [[fractals]] :)

I’ve started recording my screen more often, as a way of screencasting — even though very often I don’t get to actually publish it. I have a [[Youtube channel]] but I mostly upload Yoga sessions there, at least so far. Still, just recording sometimes makes me feel reassured — because theoretically that means I may get to actually publish it in the future, or because others will find these files and look for anything [[interesting]] in them, or because even if they are lost they will influence my behavior in some ways.

I sometimes feel that I think and write more coherently when I remember to think about you, dear [[reader]], dear [[viewer]], please [[like]] and [[share]] if willing :)

I wrote the above, which I’m calling [[2024-07-02]], and then I’m moving on to do whatever’s next in the list, or whatever arises.

I was thinking recently of

Here’s a [[joke]]:

An alien and a human go into a bar.

The alien asks: how many drinks are you having?

The human says: just one.

• One what?
• One drink.
• That’s in this reality, what about the imaginary part?
• What do you mean?
• In how many timelines are you right now?
• What… what do you mean? Just the one
• One reality, all real?
• Yes

With a flash of insight, many aliens realize at once that humans don’t know the complex plane.

…of Agora development, and of the fact that I still need to fix [[agor.ai]], and…

Here again on [[2024-07-19]], is this cheating time? :)

• [[Agora plan]]:
  • I #liked [[flow state]] [[power hour]] #22
    • The above is the kind of update that I would like to see automatically generated whenever an [[Agora bot]] detects opted in [[social activity]] ;)
• Thought about [[7 revolutions]], [[3 leaders]], and other patterns.
  • I thought about possible manifestations of [[heterarchy]].
  • The strength of [[triumvirates]] and of "leadership" [[groups]] in general, when well defined and resilient.
  • [[Heptad]]:
    • I searched [[equivalent of triumvirate with 7 members]] in the Agora and the [[AI]] assistance gave me the right answer :)
• [[6pm]] update: [[Flowing]] in [[paramita]] :)
  • experimented with the [[Bluesky API]]
  • now fixing [[agora server]] dependencies after upgrading to [[Ubuntu 24.04 LTS]] :)
    • that was hairy! but we persevered ;)
    • ended up disabling [[orgora]] for now in my up to date local development environment, reached out to [[V]] about it
• [[AI]]:
  • [[Mistral]]
  • [[ChatGPT]]
  • [[Gemini]]
  • [[Claude]]
• [[helvetas]]
• Revisited [[i annotate 2021 slides]]
• Set up two [[patreon]] sponsorships, donated to [[unicef]].
• Thought of [[Ananda]].
• [[auto pull social]]:
  • I’m thinking I usually want Mastodon embeds to be auto pulled in nodes, will probably try that default/to make it work again. Currently you have to press ‘Pull All’.
  • So I guess the simplest fix would be to locate the code that is supposed to click that button and check for its running condition.

• Maybe it’s time to check [[Silverbullet]]‘s settings for journal entries? :)

• [[work]] was fine :)
  • three days of summit, plus very interesting conversations with visitors from [[STO]] and the team!
  • tomorrow, no meetings except for an [[ER-CH]] one.

• [[work]]

• [[work]]
  • until late actually, but it was enjoyable :)
• [[sqlite code of ethics]]
• [[Bella Burup]], a [[song]]:

Bella muy bella Burup, bella muy bella Burup!

Tara Burup Tara-burup!

Bella muy bella [[Burup]]:

Salve!

Bella muy bella Burup, bella muy bella Burup.

Mi true Burup, true Burup.

Bella muy bella [[Burup]]:

Sea!

• [[work]] :)
  • This week is expected to be heavy duty due to a combination of:
    • [[oncall]]
    • visitors from [[Stockholm]] (with associated interesting discussion/training sessions)
    • a summit
  • But started out well enough with a quiet Monday… so far :)
• [[2024-06-21]]

• I planned to do [[Agora]] work but in the end didn’t get to it; maybe I will be able to do a bit of it on Monday after work.
• We managed to do a mini bike-and-run with [[AG]] and it was great :)
• VC’d with my mum :)
• Also VC’d with [[Berni]] as we watched the second half of [[Switzerland-Germany]] together.
• And caught up with [[Kris]].

• [[Sebek]] and family came over and we had lunch at home :) It was great!
  • [[Lady Burup]] found it hard to deal with two children at the same time, but I think she might get used to it with time (and the children will also learn how to communicate with her) ;)
• Then [[Janosch]]‘s [[party]] with [[AG]] 🥳
• Then [[2024-06-23]]

• Attended the [[Helvetas]] yearly gathering in [[Paulus Akademie]] with [[AG]]. It was great!
• Then [[2024-06-22]].

• I [[worked]].
• Then I attended the [[Helvetas]] yearly general assembly with [[AG]]. It was quite interersting! Highly participative (votes for accepting the yearly budget, etc.) and with a focus on the foundation’s activities in [[Bhutan]].

• [[agora chapter]] got updated :)
• [[work]] was lonely but worth it
• [[social coop]]:
  • [[organizing circle]]
• then some housework and [[fellowship of the link]]
• [[GGUF]]

• at [[work]] — relatively tough Monday and Tuesday with lots of meetings, but getting through them :)
• [[new moon yoga]] was interesting the other day, even though (or maybe because) it didn’t come out on [[new moon]] at all :)
• [[Flancia]], in my heart, is deep and meaningful.
• [[bangers]]

• [[psionica]]:
  • went away at some point? the site is down.
  • https://web.archive.org/web/20220315104111/https://psionica.org/ has some remnants.
  • https://web.archive.org/web/20220418085349/https://psionica.org/thoughtware/ was cool.
• [[sakka]], [[pancasikka]]

• Now using [[silverbullet]] as embedded in the Agora proper :)
  • It’s at the bottom.
  • It only works for me for now — sorry!
  • I know it’s a bit self-centered to add the edit box to anagora.org when only I can use it for now, but I wanted to experiment with the editing experience before investing a lot in developing it for others :) I hope it doesn’t get in the way of the experience of others.

• Maybe it makes sense to make [[1]] my [[bootstrap]] screen, given that [[0]] is taken over by remote desktop usually.
  • In any case one of 0, 1 should probably be it at any given time?
  • This way in case I forget what my "main thread" is, I can visit it.
• [[Hans Widmer]], in his dedicatory, taught me the word… [[umwerfend]]?
• [[Flancia]]!
  • is again prominent in my heart
  • we ran with [[AG]] in Flancia
• [[Agora development]]
  • will try [[bold usernames]] as I want to emphasize the social aspect of the Agora, and the [[Agorans]] are those who make the Agora amazing!

  • [[adding a search engine]] in chromium
    • my linux worked, now for chrome on mobile…
  • [[chrome]]

• Back in the Agora, back in Flancia :)
  • The visit from [[Berni]] and the birthday of [[AG]] were beautiful.
  • Now enjoying the rest of the [[week off]]:
    • catching up with housework (deep cleaning mode!)
    • catching up with messages and letters
      • reading and writing invites
      • doing writing in general
    • and [[flow]]!
• Did some [[maintenance]] of home and computer setup; converged more [[wayland]] related configs after incorporating a new computer into my [[chezmoi]] setup and taking the occasion to do an iteration of improvements.
  • I dropped some templates for reduced complexity, e.g. [[sway.conf]].
  • My computers in this system are currently:
    • [[paramita]] (personal)
    • [[nostromo]] (personal)
    • [[sariputta]]
    • [[guanyin]]
• [[go/flow/12]] was great, one of my [[favorites]]

• Read about [[Kozmonavt]] for the first time on [[search engines with own indexes]]

• [[Day off]] from work as I spent some last time with [[Berni]]! It was beautiful having him over, and seeing many [[friends]] over the weekend.
• Later did [[pomodoros]] with [[bobby lyte]].
• Set up gifts for [[AG]] :)
• Ordered something from [[Joom]] for the first time, let’s see how well it works :) It was than 3x+ cheaper than my previous magnets supplier

• Very nice day with friends!
  • [[B]], [[AG]], [[V]].

• Yesterday we visited [[Bern]] with [[B]] and saw [[L]].

• Noding from [[work]] through [[silverbullet]] :)
• Started the day with [[AG]], lovely as usual.
• Today [[Berni]] arrives! He’ll be visiting for a few days.
• Now noding from my phone :)
• Some stuff I’d still like to get done before Berni arrives tonight:
  • Check books by the sofa
  • Vacuum below sofa
  • Answer one more comment from the stream at work.

• [[agora]]
  • [[agora development]]:
    • add save/star button
    • embed silverbullet as edit ‘section’ / [[node edit]]
• From the [[notebooks]]:
  • Write about the importance of [[simulation protocols]]:
    • And of defining a pro social [[corpus]] together.

• [[work]] was intense and even emotional, it being mostly a one day workshop — very productive. We had a great coordinator, [[Anna Raverat]].
  • then some meetings until 19:30.
• edited [[tanka]].
• reviewed [[notebooks]], which is my default activity when I start working on personal projects after work :)
  • I had this in an old page: "Write about [[blessed bits]] and the entropy in [[Lady Burup]]‘s writing", which I think I would enjoy :) She walks often over keyboards and has a knack for hacking (disabling wireless, even crashing Wayland on occasion to my surprise).

• [[June 2024]] is here!
  • Truly we are living in the future :)
  • I will miss May and with it the idea of [[International Workers Month]], but it will come back (quite surely)

• Read about [[Alexander Berkman]], who I got to through [[Emma Goldman]].
  • From the [[serendipity department]]: the last issue of his magazine [[The Blast]] was published on [[1917-06-01]].
• Sometime this week I applied to [[XOXO]] the conference which takes place in [[Portland]].
• Very nice morning with [[AG]].
• Had a short but sweet [[Flancia Meet]] with [[bouncepaw]] after a while!
  • Looking forward to the [[zine]].
• [[Ve]] visited and it was nice!
• Then I cleaned the house and went to [[coop]].
  • Then it was [[Agora]] and [[social.coop]] time for a while :)
• [[Agora development]]:
  • [[Agora discuss]]
    • [[neil]] brought up interesting topics as usual!
    • What comes after [[digital capitalism]]?
      • In the [[node club]] and otherwise :)
  • Review [[PRs]]
    • Agora root
    • Open ones for [[agora server]] and [[agora bridge]], it’s been a long while since I did due diligence there, apologies for the delays
• [[Social.coop]]:
  • Update to latest security patch

• [[work]]
• [[mexico city]]
• [[spectrum analyzers]]:
  • [[friture]]
  • [[spectroid]]

• [[git rebase]]
• [[design from trust]]

• Interesting that in [[Silverbullet]] linking to a date and then visiting it doesn’t do the "right" thing in some sense, as it doesn’t navigate to the journal entry but rather to the node about the date.
  • In some ways this is the correct thing, as that’s the behavior I use elsewhere to get to the journal.
  • But by default alt-shift-d goes to Journal/Day/, so the two aren’t convergent when I would a priori wish them to be.

• [[work]]

• the [[weekend]] was intense!
• [[work]]
• [[mantras]]

I found a weeks old todo to follow [[Peter Murray]] ([[peter_murray]] in [[hypothes.is]]) and I see why: he uses double square brackets in posts in platforms that don’t support them yet too!

• Back in [[silverbullet]] for [[Flancia]] :)
• Worked, did some deep cleaning.
• Thought of:
  • [[mantras]]
  • "[[emma goldmann]]" :)
    • I received a sticker with an interesting quote but with her name spelled with an extra n.
  • [[Paulus Akademie]]
  • [[Tanka]] poetry

It was an emotional weekend; Saturday being upbeat, Sunday being more meditative and at times low energy but ending well.

Today I worked and had a fully meetings free afternoon as the US was out due to [[memorial day]].

My mum was/is sick (pneumonia again) and that makes me think of death and impermanence. But it’s a good occasion to meditate.

I thought of someday maybe picking back up some of the draft short stories I started around [[2017]], like [[Caramel City]], [[Cannazon]] and the one about the [[Wu-Tang Clan]].

I received a letter about Christianity out of the blue the other day and today I came across it and saw it had a reference to jw.org, which ended up being [[Jehovah’s Witnesses]]. I have a negative affect towards the organization because of things I have heard about how the doctrine affects the freedom of its members, but the message that I received seemed innocuous enough. Interesting that they didn’t include the name of the organization anywhere, just the domain.

I’ve been meaning to work and play on:

• [[Agora development]]:
  • try embedding [[edit]] in every node, even though for the time being it will only work for users opted into a very special beta :)
  • add [[star]] action, even a stub, and see how it "feels"
• [[Agora writing]]:
  • [[node club]]
  • [[daily]]

• I want to reactivate my [[work garden]].
• I worked until late and I tried to enjoy it :)

• TIL:
  • [[das Rudder]], [[die Rudder]]
• I worked from home with [[AG]] and [[Lady Burup]] while a kind technician fixed a window that didn’t either close nor open. It was good!
• Then I transitioned into [[Flancia]].
• This weekend I’m working on:
  • [[Agora development]]
  • [[Agora writing]]
  • [[p10g]]
  • [[ai]]
• I plan to visit a convention: [[canna trade]].

• Back to [[work]]!
  • Going pretty much alright until now :)

• [[alt-shift-d]] now works on my [[silverbullet]] to open the [[daily page]].

• [[work]] was actually interesting in high proportion!
• then [[Flancia]] time :)

• [[silverbullet]]:
  • should open the daily on startup?
  • [[go/daily]] achieves this for me for now ;) e.g. [[go/daily]] or just use the embed in anagora.org/daily.

• going over "old" (and new) notebooks, trying to make sense of the hugely distributed task list they imply :)
  • happy to see that a lot actually happened in the last 1-2 quarters!
  • I’m thinking this could be a nice ‘tradition’ to reinforce on the [[17ths]], being [[Maitreya day]] ;)
• [[do]]:
  • [[numbers]] pull all number-related actions, e.g. [[557]] (example comes from a notebook) pulls [[hex/557]], [[prime/557]] and any others we have in the future.
  • [[today]] should probably pull today’s date instead of redirecting? maybe!
  • next steps on [[activitypub]]
  • define [[equivalence classes]] in the Agora; right now they’re implicit and a bit of a mess?
  • [[oauth]] is mentioned so often in my todos that I wonder how it is I actually haven’t even started on it!
    • I think at some point I wanted to do these flows through [[agora bridge]] instead of [[agora server]]?
    • But that might have been a mistake/complicating stuff needlessly?
  • [[open letters]] show up profusely in the last 1.5 years, yet I have not properly published a single one since (except by default in the Agora, like pretty much everything I write that is not work related)
    • [[Building Bridges]]
    • [[Beyond Markdown and Git]]
    • [[Open Letter to Google]]
    • [[Open Letter to the Agora]]
    • [[Open Letter to the Sangha]]
  • develop [[whisper]] as an action (
• "[[Flancia]] is a [[Pattern Language]], the [[Agora]] is a [[Pattern Repository]]" — from a notebook.

• [[work]]
• [[ssc]]

• [[True Names]] == [[343]] in the [[Flancia Pattern Language]]
  • Which I guess can now be said to contain at least 343 patterns :)
  • [[7^3]] calculated mentally (it might be wrong for all I know!)

• [[15]] means [[Right Effort]] in the [[Flancia pattern language]].
• Tough day at work. I got demotivated yesterday after hearing some bad news and that bled a bit onto today. But nothing terrible :)
• [[Fellowship of the link]] was nice and energizing though.

• Another [[day]], another [[node]].
  • Or more than one :)
  • I definitely need to work on editing though! On doing more of the actual curation and maintenance of an actual [[digital garden]].
  • In the meantime, thanks for making do with all the rough edges ;)
• Resuming [[Agora development]]:
  • I have a few commits to push to anagora.org this week.
    • -> done, or at least started :)
  • I did some [[verschlimmbessern]] on the index to the [[Agora]] on the flight to the US that I never quite pushed — and better that way :) it needs ‘cherrypicking’ to put it mildly. It suffered a lot in directness.
  • Also added support for [[silverbullet]] style [[attachments]].
• [[social.coop]]:
  • No [[twg]] meeting this week, will try to continue working on onboarding [[evan]] to the group.
  • I "installed" alpha.social.coop using [[coop cloud]] but it’s not up yet.
  • [[upkeep]]:
    • You could call it [[life]] ;)
    • [[nostromo]] was getting broken enough that I decided to update Ubuntu to the latest release to unbreak [[wayland]] and some sites in [[chromium]]. It had been long in the making, it’s a bit like house cleaning, it can be relaxing after work :)
    • I tried taking the occasion to also [[garbage collect]] tabs/try some new organizational principles in [[paramita]], [[guanyin]] and [[sariputta]].
• [[GPT 4o]] was released yesterday and I got access.
  • Impressive.
  • But it failed to analyze a video I attached on desktop meaningfully though.

• Noding from a new computer — [[Guanyin]] :)
  • Now back in [[Nostromo]] after work
• Thought of [[17]], and explored 17 musically as [[13 + 4]] (today it’s the 13th) and [[7 + 10]].
• [[digital capitalism]]
• [[yoga with x]]
• I found two notebooks that I had misplaced, or that had anyhow gotten out of my working context. It felt great, in particular one that I call [[25]].
• [[flaming lips]]:
  • [[summertime]]

• It turns out all my [[silverbullet]] journals were being left out from my [[garden]] — I corrected this and in the process dumped a few tens of journals that had never shown up so far :) Glad I checked and found this!

• Trying [[attachments]].
• [[AG]]
• [[Stapelberg]]
• [[Lady Burup]]
• [[17]]
• [[scc]]

• Using both [[wiki vim]] and [[silverbullet]] these days, will make a case of checking out how anagora.org renders this and consider improvements
• [[AMITAFO]]

I’ve been living [[Protopianism]] in my personal life; dealing with bed bugs, every iteration across the six months of process for eradication a show of the many small complexities of life, all the while feeling lucky and aware.

After 4x fumigation adding [[diatomaceous earth]] stripes all around (quite ingenious packaging+spilling resistant) the new bed seemed to seemed to give us that additional (feeling of) safety :)

• Started the day with [[AG]] in the [[balcony]] :)
  • We managed to also do a mini bike tour before she went to the [[Mothers Day]] festivities :)
• Now thinking of:
  • [[patterns]]
    • as per usual you could say :)
  • [[patents]] (don’t worry, more in the abstract than anything :)
    • relevant to [[digital capitalism]] surely
  • [[visions]]
  • [[true names]]
• I got a small book by Meister [[Yaw Hwa Chin]] in the Chinese supermarket, I want to check them out.
  • it’s titled [[The wisdom, philosophy and education of Buddha and Chinese]]
  • He writes [[AMITOFO]] just before signing; it turns out it’s the Chinese spelling of [[Amitabha]] ~ [[Amitayus]].

• [[flancia meet]]:
  • [[bouncepaw]]
    • [[pipepunk]] and its evolution
    • [[zine]]

• [[2024-05-10]]
  • I think I prefer dates as ‘flat hierarchy nodes’ overall — this way I can just link to the date and get to the journal entry.
  • Also most generally this makes it so the convention for gathering journals is just ‘look for [[nodes]] whose [[topic]] is a time period show those that fit the current [[context]]’

• [[flancia meet]] with [[bouncepaw]] was great!

• Cycled to [[Greifensee]] with [[AG]], it was a beautiful day!
• In the evening we saw [[Episode V]]

• [[Agora development]]:
  • [[Fix the Agora]] :)
  • Make the open letter readable
  • test and iterate on fixes! :)
• [[gone]]

• Back in [[Silverbullet]] on my new work laptop, named after [[Guanyin]].
• Thought about [[Open Letters]] and [[Right Intention]], [[Right Speech]], [[Right Action]]
• [[xkcd machine]]:
  • a [[game]]
  • https://chromakode.com/post/xkcd-machine/
  • #go https://xkcd.com/2916/
  • uses [[rapier]]:
    • a [[physics engine]]
    • #go https://rapier.rs/
• Working to fix [[agor.ai]]
  • [[hypatia]] ran out of disk at some point and this can really break [[coop cloud]], it seems!

• Back here at [[11pm]]!
  • The work day was long (with a gap in the middle) and interesting :)
  • Now doing yoga and thinking.
• [[mexico city]]
• [[AG]]
• [[L]]
• [[Lady Burup]]

• This May I’m trying to get back into writing in [[node club]] — enjoying it so far!
  • This month the default topic is [[digital capitalism]] :)
• I [[meditated]] — I do not usually mention that I meditate 10 minutes in the morning but I do — and it makes a great difference to pretty much any day in my experience/according to my perceptions!
• I [[worked]]
• Then I thought of:
  • [[Avalokiteshvara]]
  • [[Maitreya]]
  • [[Tara]]
  • [[Lady Burup]]
  • [[AG]]
  • my friends in general!
  • [[light]]
  • [[entanglement]]
  • [[magnetism]]
  • [[open letters]]
  • [[open source]]
• I found out today that [[Hannu Rajaniemi]] is Finnish, not "south asian" (?) as I initially thought :)
  • https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hannu_Rajaniemi pull born 1978.
• I listened to [[flow state]].

Not necessarily in that order :)

I like [[silver bullet]] but I come back to [[wiki vim]] because it’s on the terminal and that’s where I sometimes want to write.

I like [[senegal town]].

Also: [[mexico city]], [[paris]] :)

• [[BLDGBLOG]]
• Now I’m back in [[silverbullet]]. I’m unsure if I want to unify the journal or not. Probably yes? But I’m curious about e.g. Journal/Month/2024-05 if that exists :)
• [[digital capitalism]]:
  • did a pass over [[Open Letter to Google]], maybe it’s more readable up to… a few paragraphs in? :)
  • I think it is starting to take shape.

• I wonder what a [[quick note]] is meant to be used for in [[silverbullet]] :)

• Back in [[silverbullet]], now using it as a ‘web app’ — meaning after pressing ‘install’ on chromium while visiting edit.anagora.org :) - For now edit.anagora.org only works for this [[flancian]], but I hope soon enough I will be able to offer it to the community.
  • Intend I intend to keep using [[wiki vim]] though, as I value having a terminal client for writing in the Agora - Experimented with a bluetooth keyboard on mobile as a way of having more fluid Agora editing on the go.
  • Tried [[silverbullet]] in firefox mobile and vim mode didn’t quite work :)
  • Also my hardware keyboard is set up to have esc go to the android home screen, which does not go well with vim mode ;)
    • Update: realized I can set the keyboard to [[windows mode]] and it will disable most of what I consider intrusive functionality :)
  • Still the prospect of having a fully featured Agora editor on mobile is thrilling!
• [[agora discuss]]: [[neil]] suggested [[web mentions]] as the ground level on which to build [[agora likes]].
  • I agree it’s an interesting approach; it seems complementary to [[activity pub]] support which I’ve already started working on, inspired by [[bouncepaw]]‘s work on [[betula]].
  • The basic abstraction might be: the Agora publishes, and produces, feeds of social activity in different formats. Their states influence UI elements like emoji reactions and a log of activity.
• A few hours later…
  • [[Winti Tap Jam]]:
    • I’m in [[Winterthur]] in a [[tap dance]] event, against my expectations enjoying it quite a bit! The [[jazz band]] is great, and I didn’t know people could dance like this while interacting with an improvising band. It’s really quite cool.
    • With [[AG]] and [[Nushya]]!
• Really enjoying [[noding from mobile]] quite a bit, it encourages [[live noding]].
• [[open letters]]

• [[work]] was fine actually! I finished the weekly todo list I believe to good standard. People at work are great!
  • I keep thinking about the [[python team]] and others of course.
• [[social coop]]:
  • [[cwg]] meeting, it’s great working with both old and new members.
  • discussed onboarding, oncall and [[twg]].
• [[node club]]:
  • [[digital capitalism]]
  • [[cannabis]]
• [[Open Letter to Google]]:
  • read, and [[annotated]], [[the man who killed google search]]
• [[open letter to the Agora]];
  • [[Maitreya]] is the (default) greater warden of the [[Agora of Flancia]]
    • and what this means, in [[node club]] through this [[International Workers Month]] of [[May 2024]] :)
• thinking of [[AG]]

• Trying [[Obsidian]] after a looong time — after remembering, and then trying on a lark, [[Roam Research]] again :)
  • I also tried [[logseq]] but it did a mega-commit automatically on my garden which almost broke it, not super happy about that (it tried to commit and push a 101MB file that is a database for [[silverbullet]] and probably, granted, should have been in .gitignore).

• Happy [[International Workers Day]]!
  • The last year flew by in some ways :) I remember attending the festivities/events in Zürich yesterday. Looking forward to doing the same today, at least a few hours.
• I got into [[biking]] again and I’m enjoying it tremendously :)
  • We may bike tomorrow with [[AG]].
• I also plan to catch up with [[Berni]]. I have been catching up with friends finally after a hiatus due to [[work]] + [[travel]] and I’m looking forward to the VC!
• [[doxometrist]] told me about [[netwik-obsidian]] as being in [[agora space]]
• [[j0lms]] had good news!
• [[l]] had good news! and we had an interesting conversation
• [[Brunello]], the father of a friend of mine, died last week at [[90]]. I knew him and he seemed like a good and sensitive person. I lighted a candle for him/his memory.
• [[Agora]]!
  • [[Agora development]]:
    • Fixed images, they were broken in prod due to a logger misconfiguration — thank you [[neil]] for reporting!
    • Made some progress towards fixing git.agor.ai — [[hypatia]] got into some weird state after running out of disk.
    • Reached out to [[protopian]] to try to unbreak his garden :)

• [[eminems]]

• Listening to [[Brad Mehldau]].
• Worked with [[jet lag]] — it was alright :)
• [[Pattern Language]]:
  • [[3]] [[7]] [[10]] [[11]] [[12]] [[17]] [[21]] [[23]] [[51]]
• [[Open Letters]]
  • [[Open Letter to Google]]
    • I’ll just quit stalling and write two letters I guess, or continue writing them, as I started years ago by now :)

• Back here after a few more days of hectic travelling :) I intend to stick around in the Agora for the next few days, for a change!
• Thinking again (as per usual?) about [[open letters]] — which hasn’t necessarily meant I have been making much progress on any of them. I wonder at times why I got so enamoured of the genre even before penning my first complete one; but then again my enthusiasm is known to often predate competency ;)
• I thought about [[telling stories]].
• [[Google]]:
  • [[Letter from the Founders]]
