You can use plugins to sync to personal private repos with encryption keyyy.... dunno about license

this looks interesting, will check, tnx for sharing

From their repo you linked:

“Obsidian is not open source software and this repo DOES NOT contain the source code of Obsidian. However, if you wish to contribute to Obsidian, you can easily do so with our extensive plugin system. A plugin guide can be found here: https://docs.obsidian.md”

Ahhh yea I use the "plugin system". What a wording geee. Good point. I just use it without 3rd party sync

Notion can be alternative …

I'm afraid not.

I use KeepassDX and syncthing but it lacks lot of features Obsidian has.

But you can rely on:

- versioning (syncthing)

- collaboration (sharing master password with others)

- security

Just two days ago I asked myself what do you Gigi use to take notes privately.

paper is slower and not convenient in my opinion, I prefer write immediatly some thought and bring paper everywhere it's complicated.

i didn't find other solutions that are privacy oriented.

I think the most secure, privacy oriented and convenient way to take notes is an updated android (LOS or GrapheneOS) and KeePassDX. Optional Syncthing for versioning and not loosing things.

Never heard about it.

Not my personal choice. I feel more secure keeping my personal notes where i know, distributed and secured in my devices. Using a password manager to secure my notes brings me pece of mind. It's the only way I really feel to own them.

Nearly impossible with paper to cypher and secure notes.

Anything else can be seized or simply seen when we die.

I want notes to be mine and mine only, even when i'm dead. Like a diary, a memory extension of my brain. I need to communicate with my future self in a private and secure way.

Until processing power can be so high to break that algorithm. Can't do anything about it.

I forgot to mention that I was curious because you're a public account with anonymous identity.

Your notes should be as secure as you want to keep your identity separate from your public figure.

At least I think you're anonymous.

I focused only on your ideas not your figure.

Unfortunately the only way to do this that I can think of is not in text form.

You have to abstract your thoughts and then your job will be to un abstract it

How do you store them? I would like to learn sketching. Sometimes could be useful too.

Like you said I abstract them in text form. I write notes as if I were writing to someone else so it's easier to reconstruct in the future and they are ready to be shared if needed.

I use stories for allegories.

I’m moving my art from text to image recently and enjoying it

I’m not very concerned with storage, and maybe I should be, but if you can translate stories, there’s enough of them out there that yours has been told before. You should be able to find them in the future, even if you lose your mems.

Not quite the same concept, but Joplin is my favorite FOSS notes app. It’s also markdown-based, highly recommend trying it.

I think Joplin is more based on an Evernote-style UX, but with native markdown, E2EE, optional self hosting for device syncing… and it has amazing support for code blocks, LaTeX formulas.

Logseq is the closest thing, I think? https://github.com/logseq/logseq

+1 super happy with it

The real question is why a communist would need any productivity tools at all

In fact, communist ALL they do is use productivity tools. In theory, they are the most productive ppl in the world!

It's not as easy as it looks to keep teams of workers supplied with enough piles of rocks to move from one end of the prison yard to the other, and back again.

How would they would force everyone to go on strike if they can’t control access?

Im afraid not. You can check notes nook but not quite the same

Standard Notes

SN is my daily driver.

The one thing that it's missing is a plugin ecosystem imho.

It needs a split screen option for desktops

Mix of nostr and obsidian would be mind blowing combination.

Standard silicate glass.

I'll show myself out...

unless for purist reasons i don’t see why not just continue using obsidian? curious as i just recently installed it myself and manually run syncing via GIT
