Harry Cresswell ☛ Using Hugo to turn Airtable data into Markdown files for Obsidian
To make strides against this sort of thing happening, I’ve been working on a tool that takes data from an Airtable base and turns it into Markdown files. The goal is to move these files to a folder on my local machine, which I can then access using Obsidian. Local-first, file over app! If Obsidian ever disappears, then at least I’ll still have my Markdown files.
Like with most things I build, I doing this with Hugo, because it’s great at generating markdown files from a variety of data sources.

University of Toronto ☛ If you get the chance, always run more extra network fiber cabling
Some day, you may be in an organization that's about to add some more fiber cabling between two rooms in the same building, or maybe two close by buildings, and someone may ask you for your opinion about many fiber pairs should be run. My personal advice is simple: run more fiber than you think you need, ideally a bunch more (this generalizes to network cabling in general, but copper cabling is a lot more bulky and so harder to run (much) more of). THere is an unreasonable amount of fiber to run, but mostly it comes up when you'd have to put in giant fiber patch panels.
