not exactly daily, but I use llama3.2-vision (via ollama) to generate a .txt file alongside every photo I take, containing a description of the photo. then I can just grep for, say, "selfie":

    $ alias omglol='find -name \*txt | xargs -n50 grep -li'
    $ omglol selfie
    ./10/IMG_20241019_204444.txt
    ./09/IMG_20240930_082108.txt
    ./09/IMG_20240930_082118.txt
    ./07/IMG_20240712_154559.txt
    ./07/IMG_20240712_154554.txt

or to do a slide show:

    $ omglol selfie | sed s/txt/jpg/ | xargs feh

You might be able to load up all the txt files into the embedded vector db in `llm` so that you could also query them semantically.

Great idea!

heh, I recently "ported" a Linux app to Windows and wrote a simple installer using wix 5 (it was horrible)

to even obtain wix v5: first, using scoop, I installed "dotnet-sdk"; second, using the "dotnet" command, I got the wix.exe executable via

> dotnet tool install --prerelease --global wix

> you have to start at the beginning for now

add this comment to the course's page, as it may not be obvious that it is not locked due to the beta status

It definitely was not

You can always create an EPUB. If you enjoy tinkering with HTML, here is a short book on how to create a custom toolchain (disclaimer: I am the author):

what really drives me crazy is when invoked

    $ foo -h

I get "haha, you idiot, there is no such option -h, rerun with --help"

when I rerun with --help, it prints a worse than useless usage string and says "for more help, type --help-advanced"

Or when a man page is a stub that refers you to an info page.

Heh, I started using Mutt only because of "peer pressure" during my university years: all cool guys were using it! (Still with Mutt, > 10 years later.)

I think this is somewhat akin to Emacs: startup costs are enormous, but you reap the fruits for the rest of your life.

I am most certainly not an Emacs fan, but I have similar thoughts about WordStar, Vim, and of course Mutt.

it's just an .html file with an empty body, no tracking & 5 lines of JS:

    window.addEventListener("load", () => {
      if (chrome.extension.inIncognitoContext) {
        document.body.style.background = "#53718e";
      }
    });
