  • Got a source proving iOS intentionally does this?

  • 'It’s totally unhinged’: is the book world turning against Goodreads?
  • I haven't documented my specific setup, but there are a few YouTube videos I followed to get my personal setup to a state that I'm happy with:

  • 'It’s totally unhinged’: is the book world turning against Goodreads?
  • I’ve had a great experience migrating from Goodreads to Obsidian with the Book Search plug-in (uses the google books API). I have a template file for exactly what data I want and how I want it structured (including quotes and notes), and I use Dataview to make custom queries on my book collection for read/to-read/reading statuses. It works very well, looks nice, and is all stored in text/markdown so I own the data.

  • What email provider are you with?
  • Slightly off-topic, but do you use Proton's other products? If so, would you recommend any of them?

  • Does Lemmy really benefit from Rust? Is code execution speed the bottleneck?
  • 1500 users isn't a ton, but the request queue for new accounts was likely very large due to the Reddit exodus. So they were probably concerned about future capacity. They also likely received a ton of traffic from non-users just seeing what the hype was about.

    To give some perspective on Rust efficiency: I worked on a project that converted a pretty straight-forward Python backend to Rust, and the memory usage was cut by about 20x. This has pretty big implications for cloud hosting, as memory is often pretty expensive (for AWS, at least). Server costs will be very critical for lemmy servers since funding tends to come from less reliant sources (vs VC funding, business revenue, etc.).

  • What are the keyboard shortcuts you use the most?

    I'm trying to make my Obsidian use a bit more efficient, and I'm still learning the product as a whole. What are some of your most-used/favorites?

    What do you use to track your reading?
  • Readwise/Reader and that syncs to Obsidian. Been loving this combo.

  • What's Lemmy reading?
  • Permanently Deleted

  • Your favourite themes
  • Wow, AnuPpuccin looks great! I just switched from Catppuccin. Thanks for the link!

  • What are your thoughts about Obsidian not being Open Source?
  • I would prefer it to be open-source, but at least the data format (markdown) is ubiquitous and stored wherever I want it to be stored.
