  1. Nearly overwrote my obsidian vault today. So to solve that from ever being a problem -- I wrote a bash script to create an encrypted tarball of my vault, and included a systemd process to trigger it on boot.

  2. How did `up n` become a must have function?

    I just scrolled through over 20 bash and zsh configs on GitHub, and they all had the `up n` function.

    mine is simply:
    ..
    ...
    ....
    .....

    😂

    Might scrap that and add `up.bash` to my config.

  3. Use `:w !sudo tee %` to save a file that requires elevated permissions to edit, when you have forgotten to append sudo before opening it.

  4. TID: Finally achieved geometric peace in my Hyprland setup. Swapped to a centred master layout (50/25/25 split) to avoid my windows dancing around every time I open a reference terminal.
    The maths just feels right.
