Thanks for the link to the plug-in for Obsidian! This solves so many of the problems I have had switching to Obsidian completely.

If only there were a way to enable a three pane layout in Obsidian, I’d be in heaven.


I think you can as it has both left and right sidebars. All settings, plugins, themes get saved in a dot subfolder from your starting point, so you can replicate that layout for other vaults if you want.

I like highly minimal interfaces, so I modded mine with the Border theme and few CSS snippets so it looks like this: https://cldup.com/LAeiG4q2ED.jpeg



Really? I thought it was abandonware… I used it all the time back in the day, but I thought it went the way of the Disco app.


I miss disco so much. Back from the Delicious Era [1] of apps that were functional yet had character and play.

I wholly disagree with rogueamoeba's assessment that these were "style over substance". They were dead-simple to use, and you could always disable the smoke if you hated fun. They may not have all the bells and whistles of the bloated 40MB disc burning suite, but if all you wanted to do was burn a linux iso or transfer some songs to stick in your car stereo, this was the go-to tool for the job.

Also I find it ironic that rogueamoeba lambasts the "delicious generation" when I think their Piezo app would fit right into it.


The delicious era … it was nice to “be there”, but honestly, I always felt like it was too much glossy. And I usually missed some feature there and felt back to the “boring” apps.

And I mean, Delicious Library… it looks good, but… why would I scan everything I have, to look at it on my Mac? What’s the point. I never understood it even back then.

But yeah, GUIs from that era were amazing, and then moved to iOS in the first iterations, with all the skeuomorphism. It all died with the move to the new flat designs I guess.

Today Mac apps are just mostly Electron/swiftui and boring.


Got AppZapper from a bundle maybe a decade ago. Still works.


Quite a few people I know use https://nzbs.in/login/ and swear by it. The admins of that site try to masquerade it as another WordPress site. Ingenious. But it is by far the biggest, and the best I am told.


Seems their start was less than savory. Dog and Slug are the usual starter pair and cover 99% of folks' use cases.

It's so well masqueraded that there doesn't even seem to be a way to sign up!



I am addicted to Rotring pencils. I already have more than I will use in a lifetime (56). I have taken to gifting them to my loved ones. I am not sure all appreciate the quality, and the longevity of these pencils, but for those who do, this is a gift greatly appreciated.

That said, I was unable to resist myself and bought four to gift to my direct reports this holiday season, so, thank you OP!


+1 for MXRoute. I switched a few of my domains from Legacy GSuite in the last week, and the transition has been seamless. I am going to check out Cypht - that looks to be the answer to my last minor quibble.


A bit crass, but in Punjabi (India), we used to say “Bund ni maardey”, literally translated to “we don’t do it in the ass”. Not sure why it became synonymous with “we don’t give a fuck”.


If anyone is confused about the BBC not syncing up with the other news coverage, it seems like the creators did not take the time difference into account. You will need to get to 13:59 GMT.

On a personal note, that's the channel I was watching on that day 20 years ago. Watching the exact same coverage again is just ... unsettling.


Thanks. Yes, as European this was my source as well. I believe I witnessed at least the collapse of the first tower live on BBC World.


I was confused for a second. BBC was talking about the "migrant crisis" when the second plane hit.


I may be obtuse, but I am not seeing that on Vivaldi 4.0 on the Mac?

You need to restart it for the checkbox to take effect.


Does it make Facebook’s app safe to use on iOS? Genuinely curious.
