#TIL that with #Obsidian and the #Templater plugin, it’s possible to automatically create a new note and a related issue in #Gitea or #Forgejo at the same time. Made my day.

You can define a custom function that makes a curl request as tp.user.curl():

const { exec } = require('child_process');

module.exports = async (args) => {
    return new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
        exec(args.command, (error, stdout, stderr) => {
            if (error) {
                console.error(`Error: ${error.message}`);
                reject(error);
            } else if (stderr) {
                console.error(`Stderr: ${stderr}`);
                reject(stderr);
            } else {
                console.log(`Result: ${stdout}`);
                resolve(stdout);
            }
        });
    });
};

Then the function call:

<%*
const curlCommand = `curl -s -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json" -H "Authorization: token ${token}" -d "{\\"title\\": \\"${title}\\", \\"body\\": \\"${content}\\"}" ${url}`;
const exec = await tp.user.curl({ command: curlCommand });
%>

When you execute this template, the curl request will be triggered, creating the issue as specified.

One of my kids wanted to dress up as a mortgage because it’s the most terrifying thing for an adult.

However, he finally decided to go as one of the guards from Squid Game. The other wants to go as a ‘monster bear,’ but I have a feeling it’s just an excuse to wear the mask because it looked like something from Minecraft.

…unlike me, who’s dressing up as a certified Terraform expert but still in plan mode.

And here they go

I just realized that @things, my favorite task management software, has a Mastodon account!

It’s a pity they’re not as active here as on other social networks… but it’s worth following them, just in case.

#things, #thinkingoutloud

• Update: @things Oh, they’re just as active as on other platforms—it was my instance playing tricks on me.

Mastodon / Bluesky: After a few days of using both apps in parallel, I see strengths and weaknesses in each; I can’t choose one over the other, so what I didn’t want to happen is probably going to happen: I’ll end up using both. I don’t think this will double my social media time, but I don’t think it’s ideal either.

#mastodon, #bluesky

Halloween is getting closer

Can you almost smell it?

And… another grey day in front of the keyboard. Interestingly, in the real world, it’s a beautiful day. Let’s see if I can take advantage of it and change the mood. [later] Indeed, the mood changed for the better. Lately, it feels like the computer brings out the worst in me. I think I need to make some changes. [and later] To be honest, one of the things that distracts me the most is context switching. Considering the house renovations aren’t finished yet, I’m constantly moving between my parents’ place and mine, and that’s definitely not helping.

Did a bit of #woodworking this afternoon. I had a wheel chock for the van to prevent the wheel from rubbing against the curb, but it broke, so I had to patch it up.

It’s not the best or cleanest job… but it works.

Today is #legday, not just a normal leg day, but the first one in the last two months. Tomorrow will be fun.

Suddenly, all the books in my Kindle disappeared, which was kind of scary. I connected it to my computer, opened Calibre, and the books seemed to be fine on the device. After disconnecting it, the library was able to load again. I thought I had lost all my reading progress, but it seems to be fine in the end.
