FUCKING THANK YOU!

What a nothing burger of an article.

Same. They kept it extremely quiet. The band is now touring with a new vocalist and honestly the new song they put out is alright. Nothing earthshattering but it's an alright song.

Sure.

I left everything in, so no doubt there's stuff in there specific to my vault you won't need like metadata - adjust these to your needs or use them as a starting point for something new. There's no network device template, I usually use the hardware one and just delete the irrelevant bits.

I've been using Obsidian for a lot of other purposes for a couple years now, so I was comfortable adding my documentation into my existing vault there. I made a couple templates that I fill out for any hardware/software/networking equipment.

Since the app's selling point is storing all your notes in plain text I wouldn't put anything security-related in there without some encrypted container. I use KeePass for that part, and keep the file it generates in the same folder as Obsidian so I can link to it within notes. Click the link in the note, KeePass opens the vault and asks for its password.

Lovecraft work probably wouldn’t have worked so well if it wasn’t his idiotic racist views since in a way a ton of his work is based on fearing the outsider and basically is racism in a super hyperbolic way

I never really thought about it that way, but you've got a solid point. The people fear the unknown, and the unknown acts in ways that provoke and reinforce that fear, turns it into cosmic horror. If you were to take away the Cosmic part, all that's left is the fear of the unknown.

I feel like the art is what needs judged here, not the artist. We put all this emphasis on Dahl thought this and Lovecraft said that, and people use that as reason to disregard the entire body of work the person produced. But we lose a lot of work that isn't really affected by those views and actions because we can't disconnect it from the person involved in the creation.

What throws a wrench in that is when the person is still alive, and still profiting from those works. Hence why most of your queer/trans friends haven't bought anything Harry Potter related in a while. Marilyn Manson is my personal example of this. I was a huge fan of his work as a teenager and well into my 20s. When all the stuff about what he did to Evan Rachel Wood came out, I stopped listening to his albums for a long time. I intentionally avoid streaming his tracks because I don't want to give money to someone I see as abusive toward others, but those albums are still worthy of attention for what they say beyond that subject. Still, it's hard to hear his voice and not think about what he did.

On the other side of that coin, those managing the estates of these creators that are gone need to be aware of what's wrong with their charge as much as what's right. The museum in this piece is doing it right at the end of the day - making the best of a lifetime of antisemitism.

Quality so good they can come back to it 20 years from now when blu-ray is an outdated format to make a higher-quality home release, like what's been done with VHS to DVD or DVD to BD
