#TIL that the mp3 and flac audio formats* support multiple instances of the same tag. i can now tag a song with multiple genres. I can now list BoneyM with both pop and disco! Hurrah!
*I assume other formats do too, but my library is mostly m4a, alac, mp3 and flac
#TIL about --inplace with #rsync. (I’m copying close to a tb of data disk to disk on a local machine)
Goodness gracious what a difference in speed!

#TIL: I could just C-c C-u to go up rapidly jump up the headline structure in an org file instead of just clacking up, up, up with my keyboard

I got around some pesky Firefox errors when I would run profiles as part of #LinuxMint’s webapp manager.
Spoiler alert: #xdotool came in really handy!
I wrote about it here, https://janusworx.com/blog/getting-around-linux-mint-web-app-manager-window-errors/

#TIL: Emphasise any text you select, in #OrgMode using the keyboard
Use Ctrl-c Ctrl-x Ctrl-f and it’ll let you choose your markup.

#TIL: Since I sync my zettelkasten-esque Org Roam folder across multiple devices, using Syncthing, every once in while I’d get file conflicts and revisions and the Org Roam db would panic and log errors, because it would find multiple versions of the same file.
Today I learnt, I could exclude subfolders from my Org Roam path. using org-roam-file-exclude-regexp
I put in both my Syncthing subfolders and et voilà, no more errors!
(setq org-roam-file-exclude-regexp '("\\.stversions" "\\.stfolder"))
