Would you recommend Priory of the Orange Tree? I was considering reading it, but some reviews that felt the length was unnecessary / didn’t pay off had me reconsider at the time.

Interesting, thanks for this! I’ve got a reasonably sized wiki I exported from TiddlyWiki into Obsidian and it works alright; but now I’m curious if Logseq would be a better fit. All my daily and review entries in TiddlyWiki were bullet-pointed, so it should feel natural in that respect.

There are 5 games on my Steam list over 100 hours, maxing out ~300 hours: Stardew Valley, Skyrim, No Mans Sky, Don’t Starve, Cyberpunk 2077

If we include Nintendo games it probably goes up to 8: BotW, TotK, Animal Crossing New Horizons.

So at the most, I’ll spend a couple months on a game before moving on - most other games I play are either quick weekend completions, or maybe take a couple of weeks to finish. Usually when I start putting months into a game I begin to seriously question whether I’m making the best use of my time and the “what am I doing with my life” itch makes me quit games for a bit. 😅

so pretty! I love how varied the colors are :)

love how fun and colorful the yarn is! what shawl pattern is this, by chance? it looks like it would wrap much better than a triangle shawl.

ah yeah, I haven't used Dataview's inline data before. Glad you figured it out! :)

When I was in my early teens I got my hands on a copy of Photoshop 7 from my granddad and spent so much time on tutorial websites and Worth1000, messing around with the tools and making fake digital post-its and stuff like that. I think Photoshop is definitely up there in terms of complex UIs, so having that hands-on experience was crucial in learning how to learn other UIs.

It also helped that a lot of the tutorials by that point were for CS3, which had warp features that 7 didn't have, and I had to experiment to find workarounds for the missing tools.

Never heard of them, but just looking at a registrar comparison chart, their renewal costs are pretty high. eg. $20 for .wiki renewal at Porkbun and $30 at Hover. Maybe they bundle in a lot of services along with it that make the price worth it? but unless you're taking full advantage of those (if they're offered) then you could def get a better deal elsewhere.

For me it was really the price of domain renewals. Namecheap has great starting deals, but eg. I have a .studio domain and it costs $28.16 to renew at Namecheap and $21.09 at Porkbun. My .xyz domain costs $9.92 to renew at Porkbun, $14.16 at Namecheap. (Registrar comparison chart here.)

In terms of pure price, Cloudflare is cheaper to renew for all the domains I have, but Porkbun is only a dollar or two off and I like supporting a smaller company. Edit: Porkbun offers free SSL which is nice if you don't feel like bothering with LetsEncrypt yourself.

(Also, I find Namecheap's domain management console absolutely horrible to work with in terms of UI.)

Namecheap has okay starting prices but man their renewal prices aren’t great compared to other registrars.

I just transferred all my domains out of Namecheap into Porkbun. I think Porkbun is 10 to 50 cents more expensive than Cloudflare, but they seemed a bit easier to use and could hold all my TLDs. So far, a way better experience than Namecheap!
