Made some progress on [[id:4a6cf7d2-d9da-449e-8166-f10418ccf774][Shortcut 168252 - Upgrade to Django 4]]

Finally figured out the issue with BSON encoding. Turns out it all hinges on
  the usage of mongomock and the fact that that library does not work on
  PyMongo4 because of a breaking change [1]. This guy on Github figured out how
  to hack the mock library to make it work [2], but I don't think that's gonna
  work for us. The new PyMongo code requires you to declare a UUID
  representation [3] and we do not.

For a solution, I think I may go back up stream and see if we can roll core back
  to PyMongo 3.13.0, but I'm not hopeful about that.  We may have to punt on this
  task until the mongomock folks figure this one out.  Either that, or try moving
  our codebase over the fixed fork and make a not to check on the original library.

Another surprise! The Surface 3 I ordered off Ebay as an experiment for
  running linux on a tablet arrived already! Now my brain is super distracted
  with it. But perhaps what I ought to do is put a few tasks in my inbox to
  remind me of my goals there and work on the tasks I have in front of me right
  now.

Holy crap. Got kinda lost this morning trying to fix Orgzly, which meant I had
  to figure out why [[id:19fbe313-6b6f-440a-a023-534a70d723f5][Syncthing]] had gone south on my phone, which meant I had to
  re-install that, and clean up all the photos I sync. Whew!

Long story short, syncthing is now properly working on my phone. I had to
  uninstall and switch to the F-Droid fork, but it's working very nicely now.
  And I've got my org files back on there and syncthing, and I'm hopeful this
  will be a sustainable way to keep track of all the various tasks I have each
  day.

Okay, per my last update ... I spent a little time thinking about what does
  and does not work in my org flow. The biggest issue is that I end up with
  stale day pages with tasks left undone. This means I have a wake of crap
  sitting in a million little day pages without a lot of useful content or
  notes. It tasks should live in my index page, with a "today" heading marking
  what I'm hoping to get done today. Inbox tasks get put in an "inbox" heading,
  and are pulled up or re-orged into the Today heading when I'm going to work on
  it. That way I don't lose the thread of day just because I don't reopen the
  day page.

This should also help me use Orgzly again, which does not like the giant spam
  of day pages. Day pages should also then go live in a new folder so my org
  directory says relatively small, though the day pages grow.

At that point, it's time to start mapping ideas with [[roam:Org-Roam]] again.

Going to try to get back to my Emacs lifestyle here in 2023. I fell off the
  wagon to a large degree, I think because the flow I had didn't really work
  with mobile devices and such.

My plan for this year is to use day pages liberally, and try to keep the tasks
  on day pages to time-boxed, discrete events that I can genuinely tick off. I
  have never really developed a good muscle for running tasks off org-mode, nor
  referencing it throughout the day.

I would also like to get back to blogging on a regular basis. I haven't posted
  to unbl.ink in almost two years, and I enjoyed onec.me for a while, but fell
  off the wagon. I would love to keep Unblink using Hugo, but maybe create a new
  personal blog using [[https://github.com/bastibe/org-static-blog/][org-static-blog]].
