One of the biggest joys of using a SuperNote tablet for note-taking is the ceramic nib (that never needs replacing) that comes with some of the pens sold by Ratta, the makers of the SuperNote. There are several pen options to choose from, but they all lack one key feature that the Lamy EMR pen offers: that sweet, sweet side button. This post is...

GitHub Actions are a great CI/CD tool to test, build, and deploy code from your GitHub repository. Getting started with GitHub Actions or troubleshooting Actions can become quite time and resource-consuming when you run them on GitHub. Luckily, there’s a way to test and even run your GitHub Actions locally with the help of Docker! This makes it ...

Or at least, that’s what I tell...

Like many other users I was drawn to Obsidian for its simple core (everything is a Markdown file 1), it’s extreme extensibility and it’s extreme speed. I use obsidian to store information, concept ideas and even write this blog post you’re reading Writing about Obsidian using Obsidia...

And if you’re like the typical user, you’re probably always deep in the filesystem. This can get confusing quickly, and there’s only so much space available to display your working path (unless you invest in an ultrawi...

One of the greatest things (maybe even the greatest thing) about mechanical keyboards that provide custom firmware support (like QMK and ZMK) is the endless support for customization. I’m still tweaking my keymaps for different keyboards, but I recently started getting in to “Combos”: Combo keys are a way to combine multiple key presses to o...
