I found an interesting Obsidian plugin called Tray. Tray lets you start the app automatically when your system boots up and run it in the background. It adds global hotkeys and a tray menu so you can easily hide/show the window and jot down quick notes from anywhere on your computer.
You can find it on the Community Plugins page obsidian://show-plugin?id=tray. Here is the GitHub link for more information as well. GitHub github.com/dragonwocky/obsidia

TIL about "Brushing" Scams. Got a package you didn’t order? It’s probably a scam | Consumer Advice consumer.ftc.gov/consumer-aler 'Scammers or sellers of knock-off merchandise find your address or other personal information online. They send you goods you never ordered and use your information to write fake online reviews about their products in your name — which helps them boost sales.'

Anyone know what's up with FIFA not using the corporate names of stadiums? I just saw the Levi's sign covered up in a video from Santa Clara (Levi's even leaned into it by covering up their logo on social media. Props to them.) An Sofi is called Los Angeles Stadium. I'm sure it's all about money but I haven't heard.

Clearing an app cache is such a terrible solution. It's too technical. I get that a cache can become stale but an app should just do it and automatically delete the bits that can cause common issues on log out/in.

Today is Epiphany, aka Three Kings’ Day. This is the day that Mary, holding the sleeping infant Jesus, says to the little drummer boy, "you wake this kid up and His Father will NOT be pleased!"

If I find an interesting post on another instance, say via RSS or someone sends me a link, and I then decide I want to interact with the post (e.g., Like, Repost) I'm greeted with "<snipped nice greeting> You are not logged in to this server. Where is your account hosted?" That's the nature of decentralization but it is a rough edge. Are there any browser plugins or other ideas to smooth that edge?
