Making your own bread is awesome
Baking bread is really a great thing. Yesterday we had “Wurzelbrot” (similar to baguette) made with sourdough for breakfast. Then in the afternoon, homemade pizza in the Ooni oven with our own yeast dough, and in the evening, lard bread (with vegan lard and soy yogurt), also made with sourdough 🤩.
Automated Daily Notes in Obsidian - Daily News Integration
For over a year, a draft has been lying in my project folder, in which I wanted to describe all the shortcuts I use to automatically add some information to my Daily Notes in Obsidian at the end of the day. However, the project was far too big, as my setup is quite complex, and so I haven’t really made any real progress in writing so far. That’s why I thought I should break it down into several smaller pieces (posts), as is always advisable with large tasks, and just start.
ShareMyPlugin: All My Enabled Obsidian Plugins
Lou wrote about his Obsidian plugins and mentioned the Share My Plugin List plugin. I’ve previously shared my 10 favorite plugins, but this tool makes it so easy to list all my enabled plugins that I couldn’t resist giving it a try: ⬇️ Readwise Official by Readwise: Official Readwise <-> Obsidian integration ⬇️ Calendar by Liam Cain: Calendar view of your daily notes ⬇️ Paste URL into selection: Paste URL “into” selected text.
I love how easy it is to vote in Germany
You automatically receive your election documents without having to request them. On election day, you simply walk a few hundred meters to your nearest polling station—ideally in perfect weather—where friendly volunteers are ready to hand you your ballot. There are usually no long lines, no waiting times. The entire process takes just a couple of minutes, plus the short walk there and back.

Oh by the way, Dry January ✅
I’m super happy that it was really easy for me.
These figures are a little out of date, but have only got worse since then. I don’t understand how anyone can really believe that foreigners or LGBTQIA+ people are the core problem in our society.
Media Diet
I wish everyone a good start to the new week. Over the weekend I deliberately didn’t read any news, didn’t consume any RSS articles or social media feeds. My phone felt pleasantly useless. It wasn’t easy for me, of course, but it was a good move. I have just marked 594 unread articles in my feed reader as read and should urgently think about whether I should fundamentally change the way I consume information.
OMG why did nobody tell me that Dataview Publisher (https://github.com/udus122/dataview-publisher) for #Obsidian exists? What a freakin' game changer 🤩.
That sounds easy and fun. I will definitely try it out: There oughta be a Game Boy Slideshow
Why do we have to read all the crap about Trump again. All the headlines, all the newspapers… filled with a big load of bullshit. As if our own countries would not be of any interest. Can‘t we just ignore this fucking clown? I try to escape but there’s no way! I need a content blocker that removes everythi... hutaffe.blog

TIL if you enable “Offload unused apps” in iOS settings, an app will eventually be deleted, even if you use its functions via a shortcut every day. This will of course break the latter. 🤷♂️
SwitchBuddy
The unofficial companion app for Nintendo Switch SwitchBuddy is a companion app specifically for the Nintendo Switch. You can easily transfer captured screenshots to your iPhone, stay informed about new releases, get an overview of the latest news, follow sales, and, of course, track your own game collection along with a wishlist, etc. It may not be the most beautiful app, but it is very functional. I use it daily.
Festivitas
Festivitas brings the holiday spirit to your Mac with festive lights for the dock and menu bar 🎄 "Festivitas automatically adds festive lights to your menu bar and dock upon launch and you can tweak their appearance to match your preferences ✨" - nothing to add here. As written on my blog, it just makes me smile. Festivitas Homepage Screenshot (07.12.2024) www.festivitas.app/
Tech I Don’t Need (But Want)
There are a few tech items I’ve been eyeing for a long time1, which I’d love to have, but the rational part of my brain forbids me from buying—at least for now, thankfully. First on the list is a drone. Long before insurance requirements and discussions about drone safety became prevalent, I owned a DJI drone2. It was incredibly large and loud but fascinating and took beautiful pictures for its time.
