I do the same thing; it's been great. ChatGPT is often problematic in other scenarios because it will sometimes just make stuff up, but that's nothing but a positive for brainstorming D&D plots. I did tell my players though.

Rollbacks are super easy: there's a tool called Snapshot Manager or something (maybe just Snapper?) that gives you a list of all the snapshots on your system. You can just select one and roll back to it. If I'm about to try something weird, I'll make a new snapshot and give it a descriptive name so that I can tell which one to jump back to if need be.
I feel like night is a lot shadier than even a total solar eclipse.
I've been using Garuda since the beginning of the year, and I'm enjoying it. Having BTFS by default really helped allay my concerns about going to a rolling release; it's been pretty easy to just roll back changes when I needed to. Even that one time where I rolled back too far and corrupted my GRUB didn't take too long to get squared away; the forums have been super helpful.
Huh, here I thought Amtrak was America's Amtrak.
Ah nice, that makes a lot of sense!
The group I'm running for are reasonably experienced and know character and creature abilities pretty well, so I'm using a whole bunch of stuff from Conflux Creatures to keep them on their toes; it's working really well.
For me, it really depends on what the party is up to. The big one would be advancing the in-game calendar; we play remotely using Foundry VTT, and I've got a calendar mod installed that I can use to keep track of time. Can even keep notes on it, which is super handy for knowing what happened when.
Interesting! That could be fun. I tend not to give enemies PC character creation options; I'd think about it for a major recurring figure or something, but generally I just use humanoid monsters. For big fights, like armies, I'd be tempted to use MCDM's minion rules. This does look like a cool little tool though!
Obsidian.md. It runs on markdown files, so even if you decide you don't like Obsidian, you've still got all the files. It's super easy to sync with SyncThing or probably Google Drive or whatever. It's free, and the are a ton of plugins for it. Peri sure there's a Lemmy community for it around, too.
The problem with using it is that you might be sending company proprietary or sensitive information to a third party that's going to mine that information and potentially expose that information, either directly or by being hacked. For example, this whole thing with Samsung data: https://techcrunch.com/2023/05/02/samsung-bans-use-of-generative-ai-tools-like-chatgpt-after-april-internal-data-leak/
