  • Not what you’re asking, but in case it helps. I don’t use Obsidian, I use https://silverbullet.md/ it’s very similar, markdown files with the ``[[other note]]` syntax (as well as some querying mechanism that I believe Obsidian also has), in short it’s almost an open source version of obsidian but it has some advantages IMO:

    • It is open source
    • It provides a sync mode, where you download the text to your device and it’s accessible offline to get sync afterwards.
    • It’s hackable so you can write your own functions and styles

    I’m surprised almost no one has heard of it, the main developer is here on Lemmy, that’s how I found out about it. BTW I also use syncthing to keep backups of my data, and even specifically to not sync a work folder outside of the work computer even though the rest is synced, so I can access Silverbullet from localhost on the work computer and get everything there and any changes to non-work stuff get synced to my home server, and from my personal server get everything except work stuff.



  • Just don’t let it go too stale, I recommend updating it a few days or a week after a release gets made, since sometimes there are patches for important stuff released the next day or so after a minor one. That being said what I do is I have an RSS feed for their releases so I get a notification when a new release has been made and can check the changelog for important information, most of the times it’s just bumping the version on the .env file.


  • Realistically the best option here is to not have the data in the laptop. So they would remote into a machine you control to access the data, or something of the sort. Regardless the laptop should have full disk encryption so if it gets stolen no data is accidentally leaked.

    Other than that the best way I can think of is giving the user a non-root account and have the laptop connect to tailscale automatically so you can always ssh into it and control it if needed. But this is not ideal, because a malicious person could just not connect to the internet and completely block you from doing anything. This is true for almost any sort of remote management tool you would be able to find.


  • On my personal computer ~/Projects/<name>, you need to remember that real-life is not like college, you won’t be working on a new project every week. If you have more stuff than you can manage like this, you’ve bitten more than you can chew.

    On my work computer it’s a bit more complex, because I have to work with other people’s projects as well, so I have a ~/Work folder and in it several folders by type of stuff, e.g. ops for operational stuff such as scripts to deploy stuff or grant permissions, code for servers (and client) code, etc. Also if I’m working on something specific that requires multiple repos I create a folder for that project with the repos inside.








  • It’s not about nationality. Here are the facts:

    1. LF is USA based (headquarters in California), as such they’re subject to USA law
    2. USA imposed sanctions on companies that are directly involved in supplying Russia with weapons.
    3. To have business, including receiving help, from those companies would open LF to legal repercussions in the country where they’re based.
    4. Baikal Electronic JSC is on the sanctioned list.
    5. Serge Sermin public GitHub profile listed Baikal as their employer

    Therefore to not remove Serge from the maintainers would open LF to legal repercussions.

    You might not agree with what was done, I certainly don’t, but I understand it.


  • Which is why most people don’t even realize this is a requirement. Also lots of us come from a time before these fancy players, so we needed to sort things out this way in order to find what we wanted.

    To me, having a library be just files thrown in a folder regardless of show/movie/etc seems very messy.

    This thread made me look at this issue. Realistically it’s not a big issue, the VAST majority of the binary blobs are accounted for and have a script or a readme file that shows where they’re downloaded from.

    That being said I will take a serious look at alternatives.
