asap
Nice! I didn't know about that one, thanks.
Until immutable distros can easily solve installing certain software
So..... it's easily solved then?
I'm running ProtonVPN on Bluefin from a flatpak with zero issues.
I would love if someone could answer this with quick examples. What exactly are people watching on YouTube that can't be replaced elsewhere? If I'm needing informational content I will generally seek it out in textual format, as it's painful to sit through a video on that sort of thing. And if it's entertainment, there are many other options.
edit: Genuine appreciation to those who responded. It's great to get alternative perspectives.
stores my notes metadata in proprietary database format?
Obsidian note metadata is stored in YAML in the markdown note file itself. That's about as non-proprietary as it gets.
Not sure why you hate Obsidian. I don't love it and would switch to a FOSS alternative if there was something comparable, but at least I'm not making crap up about it.
It makes for very handy use cases where other applications can work on the same data. This could be easily adding content into your notes (without needing an API to do so), using external editors for working on certain aspects of your notes, or even just the super handy convenience of having everything in one directory structure.
My Obsidian notes are right inside the same folders as the PDFs and other resources they refer to. I don't have to have a tree structure inside my notes and then the same tree structure in my hard drive or Dropbox or wherever with all my other files.
I was a 10+ year Evernote veteran, and I couldn't go back to the single DB style like Evernote or Trillium. I wish there was an open source competitor to Obsidian, but alas not yet.
And as @[email protected] rightly points out, people (me!) have been burned in the past by a program becoming obsolete and having your files stuck in some proprietary format. Plain files right in a folder on the disk is the way to go.
I mean in your linked thread it says:
I have some 15K notes in Obsidian and it runs fine.
I personally have 4000+ notes in Obsidian and it runs fine 🤷
Here's also Obsidian with 100,000 notes and it performs fine. This test is also 2 years out of date.
Add in the local REST API as well if you want to easily interact with your notes programmatically:
They might be talking about posts like this (which I would love to have refuted, as this kind of info has so far kept me from using Docker significantly):
As a datapoint, I am a home user and use Yubikeys. For example, they are one of the 2FA options supported by Bitwarden for home users.
I have recently trialed both NitroKey and OnlyKey to see if I'd want to replace my Yubikey with either of those, but the Yubikey is sadly superior. (Sadly because it's not as open as those other two options.)
