#142I've found that paying people to provide you with good food saves tonnes of time: shopping, prepping, cooking, cleaning, garbage. Hotel buffet breakfasts or similar are a good solution. This is by far the most time efficient daily hack. Also good are floor cleaning robots. Not owning a car is great too, if you add up all the time doing parking/registration/license/insurance/whatever. Software... well, mostly just avo…

Please advertise! Genuinly curious.
Zojirushi (which seems to be high quality as well) was mentioned but I went more mainstream and bought Panasonic SD-2511KXC. Looks like they don't make it anymore but there are similar ones available.

#145This resulted in an application called Cleave, that lets users persist OS state as a "context" - saving and loading open applications, their windows, tabs, open files/documents and so on.
Started because of frequent multitasking heavy work with limited resources. Made it because I wanted to switch between studying, working, reading, looking for an apartment, etc. without manually managing all states or consuming all resources.
As a person that used to have multiple virtual desktop, each with multiple apps with multiple windows, which had multiple tabs, etc. it has certainly made it easier to focus on one task at a time, knowing that I can resume another task from just where I was.
Open Beta (macOS) as soon as I finish license verification and updates, but I keep getting sidetracked...

#146I have an Amazon Lambda that I can email links to and it downloads the text with Readability-like format simplification and sends to my Kindle. Use it all the time. Love it.

I made the exact same thing haha. I use it all the time now. Would love to compare notes. How did you make the text readable from the links?

I forked Python “newspaper3k” and hacked bits of it to work better on sources I like.

#149Probably the most helpful automation in my life is the automatic door on the chicken coop. Swings open in the morning and closes automatically at night.

I've been using Obsidian recently and I love it. There are all kinds of interesting ways you can graph your posts too.
Wow, can't believe I haven't heard of Obsidian. Thanks for sharing. I'm going to check it out.
