observability VS voiceliner

GitLab team member here, putting my personal hat on - from my experience in using different Git workflows since 2009, a smaller clean unit of work can with debugging and troubleshooting. It also provides a way to new team members and contributors to understand the thought process and ideation to implement a new architecture, apply performance fixes, add documentation, work with tests, additional fixes, until its final release. Most of this can be tracked within a MR/PR and the history of code reviews, etc. - even after the merge and squash and Git branch delete, not trying to argue with this functionality. :)

From the Git CLI, without any reference to Git* platforms, it is not so obvious when searching for a commit that introduced a bug, e.g. using "git bisect" for binary search. Reading a 10,000 lines git diff can be harder than a smaller commit that also explains the reasoning in the commit message. Speaking from own experience and programming mistakes in a small team, focussing on clean commits and a good history tremendously helped in stressful debug situations. Until you hit a compiler regression bug, but that's a different story then ;)

I'm personally still very fast on the Git CLI, but I also know that there are a variety of CLI and UI tools out there that can help with analysing large Git commits. Potentially in the future also AI assisted that tell us which change a diff caused a performance regression in a release 5 months later. Or we don't need it at all because Observability driven development enabled to see these problems before merging and code reviews, e.g. the memory leak but only when DNS fails. True story from ~2016, more in my KubeCon EU talk at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BkREMg8adaI and project at https://gitlab.com/everyonecancontribute/observability/cpp-d...

GitLab team member here, thanks for sharing!

I'm using the Web IDE to take notes in most of my projects, work and personal, and publish the notes with MkDocs and GitLab Pages to a searchable frontend/domain when needed. Editing also happens in Gitpod with live preview in the browser.

You can find all resources for o11y.love [0] and opsindev.news [1] in the GitLab projects, including .gitpod.yml configuration, mkdocs.yml setup, .gitlab-ci.yml deployments.

I have been writing lots of documentation in my past OSS projects, so I am used to Markdown as markup language, taking notes very fast. Learning Markdown requires some practice, and can be helped within Gitpod and the VS Code extensions, if the default preview is not sufficient. [2] [3] You can also sync the notes repository offline into VS Code as desktop IDE for example.

Using Obsidian.md to take notes and publish with GitLab pages [4] looks promising too; I have not tried it yet.

If this is as simple as "Voiceliner generates Markdown that looks like X but I need it to look like Y" then please share some X/Y examples :) I can see that the app is open source and I literally just two days ago installed Easy Voice Recorder yesterday for similar reasons but this looks way better.

AFAIK, it is not a ready-to-use product. It could be used as recognition engine into apps. For example, you could try Voiceliner Github, that uses Vosk under the hood.

Voiceliner [android] | [video] requires you to hold down a speak button. I use it on my Android phone and on my Chromebook & save the .md file straight into the appropriate folder of my Android Obsidian vault.

Voiceliner is another option.

I discovered this one not long ago, and I think it would tick most of the boxes for your use case: https://a9.io/voiceliner/.

I will try Voiceliner app as a tool for quick capture while on the go. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VO9AD438czU https://github.com/maxkrieger/voiceliner

I have discovered a new app: https://a9.io/voiceliner/ https://github.com/maxkrieger/voiceliner But I have not tried it yet.

In response to u/thenattoo , I've used Voiceliner to record notes, export them to ASCII in my vault folder and, voila, they appear everywhere as well. Correcting the typos in the TTS step was such a PITA -- I don't know if it's a failing of Android's or Voiceliner's algos -- that I stopped using it. The workflow works pretty well except for the typos.

The hard truth is that having Friends is the answer to being comfortable in social situations.

If you don't have friends and are alone in a social situation like in a party or in the office. Then it is natural to feel social anxiety. Like imagine in a school lunch scenario, where people eat together in groups. If a person doesn't have a lunch buddy, then that person will naturally feel anxious. It is part of a human being's hard-wiring to be anxious when left out.

We only feel safe and less anxious when we belong in a herd or part of a group.

The good news is other people also are seeking social company especially in a social situation. Practical advice is to seek the friendship of the kindest people possible and to also be kind oneself.

For dealing with thoughts, one strategy is to get it out by writing typically. But the fastest way that I've found is to just use voice memo. Use the built-in Android voice recorder to talk and to record oneself. Then can use a service like otter.Ai to transcribe it from speech-to-text.

Voiceliner, https://a9.io/voiceliner/ is also another good app for voice memo.
