Here is the way I set up a view that lets people download media in Drupal. Not sure it is the" correct" way but it seems to work for me and it's very flexible.

1. Go to /structure/views  
2. Click Add view  
3. Choose to show Media of type whatever you want downloads of.  
4. Choose "Create a block" and click save.  
5. In your block add a relationship and choose Image file.  
6. In Fields, add "URI". Exclude it from display and make sure "Display the file download URI" is checked.  
7. Click into Media: Name. Make sure link to media is unchecked. click rewrite results and then check" override the output of this field with custom text.  
8. Add this code...

<a href="//frozen-octopus.com/%7B%7B%20uri%20%7D%7D" download>{{ name }}</a>

9. Click Apply
10. Save the view.  
11. Place the Block somewhere and people willl be able to download media.

There is other ways to do it but I like the rewrite the field way. You have a lot of freedom to get your link looking and acting how you like it. 

Day off today. Sitting on the couch zoning out. Watching the wind blow to the cover we put on the veranda. Listening to the rain. Trying to decide between ramen or pasta. I think I am chilling out correctly?

Trying to get myself to write a blog post with my phone. Something about it doesn't feel like I am writing.

Writing on the phone to me feels more like I am texting myself even though typing is typing.

Capturing a screen recording video with command-shift-5 is awesome except for one thing. Stopping the video once you start recording isn't that intuitive. The controls are really hard to find.

When you want to stop recording, hit command-shift-5 again and the menu will appear again with the stop button.

As much as I want to have all the CSS properties memorized, that isn't a nice thing to do to my brain. Instead I visualize my CSS snippets as a garden that I weed and prune.

My CSS snippets garden used to be a folder of text files which was fine. The key to that way was naming the files so they were easy to scan. Lately I moved to an app called Snippety that's a little more fun to garden in. It's quicker to search, prune, and the name is perfect. It also supports a way to export snippets to a file which is something you should always check before you fill up an app with your notes, thoughts, and ideas.
