I am trying to get Obsidian to do curly quotes "" vs “” (Reddit doesn't really render them as curly).

I have found a plugin Smart Typography that is meant to add this feature, however it doesn't seem to be working for me and it looks like it hasn't been updated in a while so I don't know if it just doesn't function any more. However other aspects of the plugin seem to work. Arrows, fractions, em dashes get converted. But for some reason not quotes (or ellipsis but I am less concerned about that.)

I even created a new vault with only that plug-in to make sure there wasn't a conflict with something else.

Any ideas of what could be wrong or other suggestions to try?

Appreciate any help.

From his news letter:

It's pretty rare that I send out more than one email in a month. But I did tell you this was coming... and it's a pretty important email because the Day of the Dragon 2024 is finally upon us!

Before I jump into the answering the burning question that I'm sure plenty of you have (What in the gods is the Day of the Dragon really?) I just had two things I wanted to say.

The first thing is that I wanted to say thank you to everyone who reached out and sent an email in reply to my last newsletter. You guys genuinely fucking rock. I can very happily say, with my hand on my heart, that I have the best readers in the world. I haven't had the chance to respond to t

How do I send files back to OneDrive? I realize that there is no two-way sync, but the export doesn't seem to be doing anything.

I downloaded a file to the device and that worked fine. But now when I want a copy back onto OneDrive, I hit export -> OneDrive and nothing seems to happen. It doesn't appear to actually be uploading anything to the OneDrive folder.

And once I export to OneDrive, doing another export changes my option from the OneDrive folder, to 'My Files'.

Any help would be appreciated.

This one is stumping me.

We are using Acronis for cloud backups. We have a secondary ISP that is being used for these backups only. I have a SD-WAN policy setup on our firewall that is routing Acronis traffic to that ISP.

For testing purposes, I allowed a few other services to go through that SD-WAN policy. Specifically speed test. This works perfectly fine. I am getting speeds I would suspect on the connection (1 gig non-dedicated fiber). However, the speed on Acronis backup is slow. I am getting nowhere near the speeds I expect. Acronis has a speed testing tool. I run it on the server. Same slow speed I am seeing with the actual backup.

So I am thinking maybe Acronis is just slow. I

I ordered a chicken Cheesestake wrap from a local place using doordash.

Apparently doordash is now using AI to generate descriptions if the description is missing.

Here is the description of the wrap I ordered:

Grilled chicken, melted cheese, sautéed onions, peppers in a wrap with choice of side. Description generated by DoorDash using AI

Now I don't know about you, but when I read that, I assume I will be getting a wrap that consists of grilled chicken, cheese, onions, and peppers. I then also select add mayo under toppings.

That is not what I got. I got a wrap that only had chicken, cheese, and the added mayo.

If you look at the restaurant's actual menu this is pretty clear, the w

Hi all,

Recently, I have decided to get my first art commission done. However, I am kind of at a road block and I don't really know what is typically done for something like this.

I have zero ability to draw. Hence, the art commission. I also don't have any reference work as this is the first piece I am doing. I know it will vary artist to artist, but what is kind of typical? Do I just describe things the best I can? Do I find reference images to provide? If so, what is the etiquette for that? Should I contact the artist to ask if I can use it as a reference?

Sorry that this sounds really basic. But I am finding that this is strangely nerve wracking to me.

Thanks for any help. And I

Recently I have made a book review blog, and I was looking to get some artwork commissioned for the site. My problem is that I don't really want to send my name and my personal email address to random people when I am paying them with PayPal.

I have read that you can set up a Business account, your Business name is passed on instead of your name.

So I have a few questions.

To have a business account, do you actually need a registered business?

Could I use my same bank account for both my personal and business account? If no, does the bank account have to be a business checking account? Or better yet, Do I actually need a bank account tied to it? Can I just send money to it from my ex

Wanted to help spread the word of this as his series has been mentioned a bit on here and I don't want someone to buy this on accident.

Somehow, someone has listed Ryan Cahill's free novella on Amazon and is charging for the e-book version. Worse off, it somehow is tied to his author page.

When this is all settled, I am really curious how this happened. It seems absurd that someone else can just upload an e-book under someone else's name and charge for it.

If any authors on here happen to read this and had something similar happen, I am sure Ryan Cahill would appreciate any advice. Based on his tweet this morning, it doesn't s
