PS. The RegEx's given above fail the simplest email address: admin@localhost

Yeah, I assumed that he would have a tld, and didn't want to put too much into it as I was sure that it wouldn't be enough in any case.

Picked up a portable car jump starter

-4wd (June 08, 2020, 12:09 AM)

I have similar in each vehicle and used them successfully on mine and other motorist's vehicles.  The others motorists always amazed when I bust that out instead of jumper cables.   

-skwire (June 08, 2020, 01:10 AM)

Same here.  I make sure there's one in each car- and now that my daughter has her car, I need to go buy her one! 

The other advantage- there's no risk to your car when jumping off the car of others, and it's very easy to maneuver!

Well, there has to be some separator between any content and the e-mail address, and that's most likely a space.

-Ath (June 07, 2020, 12:33 PM)

No, I mean that I didn't include it in the resulting match.  It would match like yours, just selecting the e-mail address.

That first regex that I put in works on that phrase just fine.  I didn't include the space in the regex because I thought that was just a miscommunication, after all, who'd want a space before the e-mail that they capture?

I just had an idea- not exactly sure if it's a good idea or a bad one yet.

In my obsidian vault, I initialized a git repo.  Instead of (or maybe in addition to) syncing it with OneDrive, I'm going to commit it to two remote git repos- one on BitBucket/GitHub/Keybase (haven't decided which) and one on my NAS.

I haven't really tried with others.  I've just got syncovery set up to mirror everything now.  I keep them on separate drives too, so that's another level of redundancy.

I like the fact that there's no lock-in.  I think I'm going to try it.

One thing to watch out for if you're storing directly in dropbox is contention over files.  I use resophnotes syncing simplenote to markdown files in a dropbox folder, and I get duplicates at times named with the file name plus ([MACHINENAME's] CONFLICTED VERSION)

It's hard to get it to sync right from there- the conflicted versions seem to always come back.

Was in its own folder,  now in sync folder.

But,  I'm still considering the implications of each approach.
The folders will be copied and backed up in either case.

-Dormouse (June 04, 2020, 11:38 AM)

What are you using to sync?

I've found that you can edit a file that obsidian has open in another program and obsidian just updates when it is saved.

-Dormouse (June 04, 2020, 02:04 PM)

That's a bonus.  Does it automatically sense when a file is saved outside of it?

Do you have the storage location from Obsidian in a sync folder?  Or in a different folder that you sync to your sync service?

So, more in the 3d printing department.  I have everything except for the printer now.  I purchased two spools of filament - https://smile.amazon.../product/B07PDW8QWJ/ and https://smile.amazon.../product/B00J0ECR5I/.

I also purchased a RPi kit from CanaKit and a 256 GB card to go with it: https://smile.amazon.../product/B07XPHWPRB/ and https://smile.amazon.../product/B07FCR3316/

The 3d printer won't be here until Friday, so I started setting up my RPi so it would be ready.  I first tried to use the card that came with it, since it had an OS on it, just to make sure that everything worked.  I have a display attached though not strictly required, and was messing around with getting an image on it, and decided if I had to do the configuration for it, I might as well do it on the 256GB card.  I had a bit of a struggle with that, but got it working. 

Then I actually looked at OctoPrint, and saw that they had an image to use instead of the standard one.  So I'm getting that done today, hopefully.

I thought I'd posted this, but remember that things that can sync through dropbox, onenote, etc can be lifesavers.  It's the reason that I use my opinion on Android and used it on IOS - IA Writer.  Edits directly in Dropbox.

I have access to Roam, and I don't really get it.  This is the link that they sent me to the help database that shows the uses of it: https://roamresearch...#/app/help/page/1308

It makes use as a graph database to map the vertices and edges.  A page on using it for Zettelkasten: https://roamresearch.../help/page/VURQiVZQR

Plan D. Or maybe anyway. Writage. Writes Markdown and takes it into docx. Forces me to docx rather than rtf. Whatever - I'll go with the lingua franca. Convoluted workflow. But might act as lubricant in a workflow that's getting stuck. I've not tested this one yet.

-Dormouse (May 30, 2020, 02:30 AM)

If you use writage, you might want to also take a look at Writing Outliner.  It helps to organize docx into projects.

Yeah... that's the reason I was going to wait.  But I'll just wait on the silent board.  Installing it seems to be quite involved though!

As far as that Creality, putting on my Kicksnarker hat:

1. The Target was $100,000.  They're at 3 mil.  I've found that to be a red flag.  More money doesn't mean that they will use it better in my experience.
2. Delivery September 2020? With Covid and all?  And that's not called out in the risks section?
3. The above with the stretch goals that include changes to the mainboard?  Their stretch goals make this a lot riskier, and definitely not going to hit a September 2020 timeframe.
4. 1st Created Zero Backed.  Not necessarily a con in this case as they are an established company, other than the fact that they might not know the ins and outs of Kickstarter and the communication might be spotty.
5. In the text they say, "We hope that they can actively participate in the research and development of our product."  This makes that timeline even more wonky.

Pros
1. Looking at the videos, $319 seems to be a good price for what you get- if that's what you get.  The reviews were only looking at betas, and I've been burned a couple of times with betas not being anywhere similar to the end product.  It's one of the reasons that I rarely back electronics type products.  Well actually for full disclosure, it will be around $350 including shipping.
2. They've released a product prior, so they have a proven track record in creating a product.

Final Verdict: I'm backing for $1 to follow the updates.  The wonky timeline, the fact that they say something about R&D and the stretch goals, the number of backers, and the investment put me off it.  That and the fact that I just got the SV01.  But even if I'd not gotten that, I'd not back it for the product.


Some of the Videos for those that haven't seen them since the markup is screwy.
