[2132.30 --> 2137.40] There very well may be a way I could save a few bucks for a short period of time by going
[2137.40 --> 2142.38] to a more fly by the night kind of hosting provider, but that's not what I'm here for.
[2142.42 --> 2144.40] And I don't, I don't want that hassle.
[2144.96 --> 2146.02] I want to deploy it.
[2146.06 --> 2146.26] Right.
[2146.46 --> 2147.52] I want it to be fast.
[2147.58 --> 2148.80] I want it to be well supported.
[2149.12 --> 2150.54] That is Linode.
[2150.54 --> 2152.40] You can try it with that hundred dollars.
[2152.52 --> 2154.74] You can really actually try it.
[2154.98 --> 2155.90] Go see how fast it is.
[2155.96 --> 2161.00] Try out one of their MVME rigs with a 40 gigabit connection to the internet or one of their dedicated
[2161.00 --> 2163.18] CPU rigs with AMD epic processors.
[2163.56 --> 2167.38] And I finally recently had a choice to try out one of their GPU rigs.
[2167.50 --> 2170.06] I've been satisfied every single time.
[2170.32 --> 2173.40] That's because they've been doing this for 19 years and they've just been getting better
[2173.40 --> 2174.02] and better.
[2174.24 --> 2177.06] Go see the results of that hard work and try it out for yourself.
[2177.28 --> 2179.02] Support the show and get a hundred dollars.
[2179.02 --> 2182.14] Go to linode.com slash SSH.
[2182.40 --> 2185.94] That's linode.com slash SSH.
[2187.72 --> 2190.46] All right, Alex, do you want to set me straight about notes?
[2190.56 --> 2192.04] Because we've got, this is the other area.
[2192.12 --> 2192.94] We got a ton of feedback.
[2193.16 --> 2194.02] This is my bad.
[2194.54 --> 2198.92] Evernote got acquired and I set off the alarm bells on the show that I need a note system
[2198.92 --> 2205.42] that'll be at least something the spouse can use for note capture and OCR of text and
[2205.42 --> 2206.70] pictures and PDFs.
[2206.70 --> 2210.76] And I got a lot of feedback and a lot of them, I think are going to tell me what you're going
[2210.76 --> 2211.18] to tell me.
[2211.88 --> 2215.68] Well, it's your own damn fault for just dropping it in there and just saying, yeah, I know
[2215.68 --> 2217.02] Obsidian isn't the solution.
[2217.48 --> 2221.62] Just casually like one liner with you and Joe last week.
[2221.68 --> 2222.58] That's your own damn fault.
[2222.92 --> 2223.50] Yeah, it is.
[2223.62 --> 2224.76] What about Obsidian with plugins?
[2225.88 --> 2226.66] There you go.
[2226.66 --> 2228.46] Exactly, Wendell.
[2228.56 --> 2228.90] Exactly.
[2229.06 --> 2231.04] Obsidian is just a plugin engine.
[2231.20 --> 2233.68] It's like a modern Emacs in a lot of ways.
[2234.40 --> 2242.16] It's a portal into a whole, dare I say, different dimension of productivity stuff.
[2242.38 --> 2247.12] You can honestly lose weeks on YouTube just to productivity improvement channels.
[2247.72 --> 2249.52] Would you have Catherine use it though?
[2249.52 --> 2251.12] Yeah, I would.
[2251.68 --> 2257.02] There is a, for example, she currently uses Calibre to manage all of the books that she's
[2257.02 --> 2257.62] ever read.
[2257.76 --> 2261.90] She used to use it before that Delicious Library, but that was a Mac only app and then they stopped
[2261.90 --> 2262.52] supporting it.
[2262.58 --> 2266.94] So we migrated her over to Calibre and she literally just uses it like a checklist to
[2266.94 --> 2267.98] say, yes, I've read this book.
[2268.06 --> 2268.64] No, I haven't.
[2268.72 --> 2269.44] I own this book.
[2269.54 --> 2271.04] It's that kind of stuff.
[2271.04 --> 2276.88] Turns out someone has written a plugin for Obsidian to go to the Google Books API, pull
[2276.88 --> 2280.34] down the covers, pull down all the information about that particular book, the publishers,
[2280.48 --> 2281.10] all the rest of it.
[2281.48 --> 2285.78] And then just with a couple of lines of text, she can, you know, write whether she's, whether
[2285.78 --> 2288.54] it's in her to read pile or whether she's read it.
[2288.64 --> 2293.96] And then because it's just plain text, you can do what you like with the rest of the note.
[2294.20 --> 2295.72] You know, it's just a plain text file.
[2295.80 --> 2296.66] You can write a review.
[2296.84 --> 2297.86] You could write spoilers.
[2298.04 --> 2299.76] You could do whatever you want in there.
[2299.76 --> 2305.44] And that's just one example of how flexible just having a plain text system that is somewhat
[2305.44 --> 2311.56] kind of self-aware can do with the plugin ecosystem that it has.
[2312.24 --> 2316.34] And the other thing that really grabbed my attention, I heard you mention was talking
[2316.34 --> 2318.66] about PDFs and OCR and that kind of thing.
[2319.18 --> 2321.18] It can do that obviously via a plugin, of course.
[2321.72 --> 2325.54] There are different ways you can do this and you can do it all locally.
[2325.92 --> 2327.54] I forget the name of the framework, unfortunately.
[2327.84 --> 2329.34] If I find it, I'll put it in the show notes.
[2329.76 --> 2335.24] But there are some people who swear by the Microsoft Azure cloud OCR stuff.
[2336.14 --> 2340.42] And you can actually, if you're doing, I think, 300 documents or less a month or something
[2340.42 --> 2342.66] like that, it might even be something like 4,000.
[2342.74 --> 2343.72] I forget the exact number.
[2344.12 --> 2344.52] Okay.
[2344.86 --> 2345.56] Quite a difference.
[2345.70 --> 2345.92] I know.
[2345.92 --> 2346.12] Yeah.
[2346.12 --> 2346.14] Yeah.
[2346.34 --> 2348.76] But easily, it wouldn't even be more than a dozen.
[2349.18 --> 2349.50] Right.
[2350.02 --> 2356.34] So essentially, you can use the Azure OCR stuff and not even have to do any local processing.
[2356.34 --> 2361.30] Although modern devices are so good, particularly with the neural engines and that kind of stuff,
[2361.78 --> 2363.76] that it shouldn't really be too much of an issue.
[2363.76 --> 2370.46] I use Office Lens and OneNote and then paste from that into the other thing because you can do the,
[2370.46 --> 2372.44] just got the document camera and everything else.
[2372.44 --> 2376.22] And then you're just, you know, and then you're good to go.
[2376.56 --> 2380.74] There's also a, there's a plugin for Obsidian or NextCloud.
[2380.98 --> 2384.80] There's a way to get the NextCloud's note-taking document management thing.
[2384.80 --> 2387.08] And also talking to Obsidian.
[2387.42 --> 2388.22] Oh, really?
[2388.74 --> 2389.66] That sounds perfect.
[2389.72 --> 2392.76] I haven't done that yet, but there's a thread about it on the forum because we had a,
[2392.82 --> 2393.44] I did a video.
[2393.72 --> 2396.00] It's the magic words are Zettelkasten.
[2396.18 --> 2396.46] Yes.
[2396.58 --> 2403.88] It was like, use like, so this is Zettelkasten is probably the closest way to describe what I do
[2403.88 --> 2404.88] for knowledge capture.
