Call #Weird, call me SuperNerd, call me #nerd but I really enjoy doing this. Maybe it’s the #Learning, maybe it’s the #Fun, or maybe I’m a little more #Nerdy than I thought, but building out my #Homelab starting with #PiHole and working from there has been a wonderful experience. The documentation process has also been enjoyable; maybe it’s because it shows my work and what I’ve done as an #accomplishment

Stay tuned for more updates! 😁😁

Just for clarification: same holds true for any other markup supported by pandoc, not just #Markdown.

However, if you stick with a syntax language that doesn't come with this explosion of flavors, you have less issues converting your data - in some cases you don't even have to convert at all any more.

The issue with Markdown is that its original form defined a small minimum of elements and each tool defined its own potentially incompatible extensions. With other #LML, the "original" or its standard defines the maximum set of elements and therefore, there is no need for "flavors" and no data loss or conversion effort.

HTH

currently #Obsidian for Android requires full file access permissions because it's necessary for certain third-party sync tools and interoperability — but some users prefer narrower permissions

in an upcoming version we're adding this option, do the tradeoffs make sense here?

If you use Obsidian as your note platform. Then definitely install the Obsidian Web Clipper to clip those web articles that you are using for research, or whatever.

It provides tags, source url, author, published date, clipped date, and description.

Most useful thing and great for ridding yourself of Pocket!!

Et pendant qu'on y est. Si j'ai, dans un document, des chapitres qui m'intéressent plus que les autres, dont je veux plus garder la trace que du reste, ça se fait de refaire une entrée ? Ou je garde la référence dans mes notes perso ? (je suis en train de lier #zotero à #obsidian, je peux le garder là, par exemple).

Note : j'ai trouvé que je peux créer un chapitre de livre en cliquant sur mon livre. Mais il apparait en vrac avec le reste des documents, sans lien visuel non plus...

I've been thinking about using #Obsidian as an alternative to #Notion, so I finally got around to downloading it and imported my Notion pages. The import was really fast, that was nice, but it lost a whole load of formatting (sort of inevitable since they are different apps) and some information has disappeared, which is not so nice because it's kind of annoying to lose all that work.

At least that work isn't lost forever since it's still on my Notion account, but it means I'm not so sure Obsidian is going to be the useful alternative to Notion that I was hoping for (honestly I don't think anything is, which is also annoying because I don't like how Notion keeps pushing use of AI)

checking in to let y’all know am doing well. i’ve just been lost in a whirlwind of productivity with that damn #obsidian app.

JFC this is what my #ADHD addled brain needed all thesr years. every vault i have set up is like a separate app, thanks to the myriad plugins developed for it.

i still don't have pat down a daily workflow, and that's what i’ve been focusing on these past weeks; but hot damned, I FEEL SEEN with this app. it ain't prefect, but i feel seen.

If you're using #Microsoft #OneNote, you will face disadvantages when you don't switch to #Windows11 soon:

You are forced to "One Note on Windows" which requires a #Microsoft365 account. If you want to keep your previous computer/OS, your synchronization speed gets reduced just to punish your disobedience: windowslatest.com/2025/03/24/m

For anything that requires a certain amount of privacy/security, for anything long-term (avoiding #lockin effects), OneNote was a bad idea in the first place.

People who started with the original OneNote already faced data loss when MS forced them into the then mediocre cloud version in 2018: karl-voit.at/2018/04/21/end-of

My recommendation: re-evaluate your requirements and switch to a much better long-term alternative, such as #Emacs #Orgmode & not yet another hip lock-in monster like #Obsidian, #Evernote or other closed source #cloud solutions: karl-voit.at/2021/01/18/tool-c
