Link Stash
This is an ever-growing list of interesting and/or useful web links I have found, exported from my active buku bookmark manager. Hopefully you find something useful. I lost a few descriptions in the migration so working on pulling them back in.
No fancy searching here, though I'm trying to add appropriate tags. Ctrl-F is your friend (or whatever "find on page" function your device uses).

After receiving an email from a friend who sparked some thinking regarding links between bookmarking and task management I thought it'd be cool to explore linking buku (bookmarking) and taskwarrior (task-management), both command line utilities. This might be a starting point, as I want to have a notes section associated with the tasks, which I don't think taskwarrior has out of the box.

I wanted to move away from Microsoft VS Code, and have a simple coding environment for my mediocre python scripting. Labelled as "flyweight" sounded perfect. Now I've got my environments set up I'm pretty happy with Geany. I don't get the split cells like I do in Jupyter or Spyder, but that's not a huge deal for me right now.
TAGS:

My computer methods are definitely friction-FULL, and I was beginning to wonder if I was making things worse for myself. Case in point, I bookmarked this exact post by sharing the link from my phone to a note, imported it to buku using a bash script, opened the link, re-read it again, and jotted my notes and tags down. I'll soon run another script to post to my website. I re-engaged by reading it a second time, and loved it even more.

She provides a list of principles at the end to "act as a soft manifesto for myself, and for anyone else who wants to be an artist practicing for softer reasons at softer paces in softer spaces".

For my main note-taking app, Obsidian, files and folders once had their specific place, but as I lost interest in the time spent managing a filing system and I just wanted to get on capturing and moving on, I moved towards simply relying on searching and tags. This page itself is stored in the main folder amongst 100s of other notes. I just hit CTRL-SHIFT-F, start typing “Junited” and there it is. I can feel my other files and folders getting a bit like this too. OneCommander is a great file explorer that I find enhances the navigation experience.
