I wonder whether "tools-for-thought" ought to focus more on providing the ability to search across multiple "repositories" rather than the creation of the one-great-editor-to-rule-them-all. I personally would love a way to just search across all the places where I store information.

Seems to me that part of
Dave's "tools-for-thought" challenge is related to structured and unstructured data and maybe APIs.
Roam and Logseq store data in
Graph databases with each paragraph as a separate, uniquely identified block. Drummer stores data in OPML files with paragraphs in outline nodes that are unique identified. Obsidian stores data in the local computer file system as files in the markdown format. Integration seems more doable between the more structured data formats, but requires some form of translation either via an API or an understanding of a file format.

During the workday I use a
Raspberry Pi 4 with an
attached SSD that I remote in to using VNC for my personal computing so that I only do work stuff on the work computer. The Pi 4 is over-clocked to 2 GHz and has four cores, so it provides good enough performance while still slower than most current computers. Today I noticed for some reason that the 220 GB SSD only had 13% space left, which I found odd because there is no way I store that much data or have that many computers. I mostly use a web browser and cleared cache, but didn't seem to recover much. I decided to reboot and I am back to more normal 86% space left.

I am so tired of advertising bombarding everything, particularly YouTube. For me, YouTube is becoming less and less usable. Not only are there advertising cuts every three minutes but also banner ads placed over a good amount of the video display.

I've been wondering whether my healthcare system will notify me about scheduling the COVID booster shot, like they did for the vaccine. So far they haven't, so I am starting to think about scheduling an appointment for myself.
