  • I simply use Nextcloud to sync the vault directory. It has clients for both desktop and mobile and works perfectly fine. I use it to sync basically everything between my work, home, laptop, and mobile.

    The only drawback is that I don’t know if Obsidian automatically reloads a file if it is changed - if not, and you leave the file open in the editor, you might accidentally overwrite the new file with old data.









  • “We might be able to banish the demon and save your son.”
    “Really?”
    “No, it’s just fun to get your hopes up. I’m gonna kill the kid.”

    Veilguard doesn’t let you be an absolute dick the way Origins did. The story (what little I’ve seen) is filtered and sanitized like it’s meant for six-year-olds.

    It also approaches sensitive topics, like the gender of one character, with the graceful and delicate touch of a fucking brick. If your character in Origins is a woman, Sten will bluntly comment on your role as a warrior, which is reflects the Qunari culture and their strict adherence to their norms. In Veilguard, a character blurts out “I’m non-binary by the way, I use pronouns” and another starts doing push-ups for accidentally misgendering them. It was fucking ridiculous.










  • Big spoiler.

    A heavy barrel falls on Worf and damages his spinal chord, resulting in paralysis from the neck down. He wants to die because being paralyzed and being a burden brings him great mental agony. He asks Riker to kill him. Crusher can’t reconcile her own feelings with those of Worf and his values as a klingon and wants to force him to live as a cripple.

    Other doctor (forgot the name) shows up later who proposes a risky procedure to artificially grow a spinal column and replace it completely, but which may end up killing Worf. Crusher once again bitches about how Worf could live a happy, fulfilling life as a quadriplegic (by her stupid humie standards), but is overruled and ordered to assist. The procedure is a close call, but ultimately successful.

    Crusher then has the fucking audacity to call the other doctor dangerous.

     

    Basically I wanted her to take a long walk out an open airlock then have Picard reverse course and later apologize to Geordi for causing an in-flight human ingestion. She is not fit to be a physician if she can’t reconcile her views with another culture for the benefit of her patient. Great episode overall, but as always, I wish there had been some fallout later.
