This month, ive watched about 5 tutorial videos.
All other media, I listened to.
On a $5 vps, I used RSS to follow the video channels I used to watch, and used the data centers superfast internet to download everything which is then converted into small 48kbs .ogg files, and send to a single directory for rsyncing to my local machine.
Then download, and throw the files onto a reflashed early ipod, and head outside...
So far, my total data use for the month is under 50gb. Which is crazy because that includes several OpenBSD -current upgrades, and several ISO downloads.

@atyh That's pretty great! I'm probably hovering somewhere in the 180-200GB...😅
At work I've been working on documenting our workflow and creating reference material. We all mostly use OneNote but it behaves in strange ways at times. I feel like at some point someone is going to break all of the links in this documentation. Smaller, simpler things like Gemini are more future proof in my mind. If only I could convince others. It's like they don't believe Murphy's Law.
Ive used all the note things. Evernote, One note, even a well set up org mode.
The best notes system ive ever used is vim, with the line:
nnoremap <leader>gf :edit %:h/<cfile><CR>
in vimrc.
By default, when you hover over a document link in vim, and hit gf, it will open it.
With this line added, when you hover over a new document link you just wrote, it will create it, and open it.
With this, you can start a main notes file with links, like...
todo
howto
research
get
When you first write these, use <leader> gf to create the new note in the same directory. After the new note is created, move the cursor over them, and hit gf to open them.
At the top of child notes, put a:
notes
-------------
so you can quickly navigate back to the main notes file.
The benefit of this is, you dont need anything but vim, and the notes folder just has plain text documents in it.
Lately, Ive been experimenting with using less and vi as a notes system.
You can load multiple documents into less, and move between them with :n and :p
(for next and previous). And when you hit 'v' in less, it will open the document in vi, seamlessly, and return to less when youre done editing.
But nothing beats vim with that one line. most portable, easy to use nested notes system ever.
