imthesloth··on Ask HN: Fed up with Evernote; what are your recommendations?
I stopped using out of the box solutions and made my own system, perhaps you would want something similar? Made a blog post about it: https://thesloth.me/posts/6/
imthesloth··on I built a perfect note taking system
Yeah tags are awesome, it's the default way that i use to search through the notes.
imthesloth··on I Built Linux from Scratch
Hi, in which context are you referring to the 'hashes'?

If you're asking about the hashes for required packages in 'Chapter 3. Packages and Patched', the hashes should match if you're downloading from the provided mirror - https://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/mirrors.html#files

Downloading from these mirrors ensures that you have the exact version needed for the build, in any other cases you run the risk of the system not working as expected / documented in the book.

Yeah i totally agree with your comment. Just to clarify for anyone reading this - it was not my intention to downgrade the value of building an LFS, but rather i wanted to set a realistic expectations on what you can expect to learn, so that you don't do it for the wrong reasons.
imthesloth··on I made a CI/CD pipeline for my blog
Nothing fancy if you're devops wizard, however i figured it's a good opportunity to get my feet wet using jenkins.
