How did I install that finicky piece of software last time

This. So much this. Every time I start a new project I'm so glad to have these notes to refer back to.

Daily notes. I have a template that prompts me to fill out a number details I might otherwise forget.

A wiki of people that helps me remember details about people I meet or have worked with. Makes it much easier to keep in touch and to remember important dates in their lives.

Sortable todo lists, with due date and urgency information. I can add to the lists directly from any other note using a Dataview formula with the Tasks extension.

Career plans. Project plans. Gardening plans. Recipes (there's an awesome extension that imports recipes from the web).

Any random writing I might want to do, from short stories to rough drafts of letters to stream of consciousness mind spew that I want to review later.

I use the Auto Note Mover and Dataview extensions, along with backlinks and tags, to keep all of my notes organized automatically. I use the Linter extension to make sure things are formatted nicely. When I started using Obsidian, I used the Importer extension yo easily pull in all of my existing notes and lists from Evernote and Google Keep.

Honestly, that barely scratches the surface.

The biggest issue I had was with folder permissions on Android. I also ended up paying for the sync functionality and have zero regrets.

We all did. It was a dark time.

The terms "cage free" and "free range" are near meaningless on an industrial scale. The chickens are still packed in as tightly as regulations allow.

As for smaller producers, I don't know. It sounds like bird flu is about as contagious as is possible.

Any specific models you'd suggest?

How much are you storing on Backblaze? I love their Desktop Backup, and I've got about 20TB backed up with it. But I'm planning to add a significant amount of additional storage on a new machine and I worry that their unlimited plan may not actually be unlimited. I've heard good things about their B2 service but the cost would astronomical, way way out of my budget.

edit: Oh, apparently Backblaze Desktop doesn't support Linux. Well, I'm hosed. Got any suggestions for affordably backing up a significant amount of data on a Linux PC?

Whatsapp is terrible. Not trying to diss you for using it. Do what works for you. I just don't understand the appeal with all of the alternatives.

I can personally vouch, having seen this when private equity bought out the company I worked at and significantly cut everyone's wages while telling us we needed to massively increase productivity. Unchecked greed at its finest.

Not being evil is for the poor and powerless. Rich people are just better than the rest of us and deserve to be able to shit wherever they want.

I joke, but seriously, no one gets as rich as the leaders of all these big companies without hurting a lot of innocent people in the process. Never forget, there are no virtuous billionaires.

Wow. That's so cool. I wonder why these small impacts happened in a straignt line. Were there other notable impacts from this event that didn't line up? Hopefully we find out some day.

Totally not the same but it makes me think of how the Missoula floods carved the Columbia Gorge.
