About the survival of our Data ( when Apps die )

Pretty much completely agree about Obsidian. One thing I wish for in Obsidian is global community plugins. It would be nice not to have duplicate copies of plugins in each vault.

I have projects that are sufficiently siloed that one vault wouldn’t make sense. Currently, Devonthink is my go-to. I understand as soon as I can update my ancient Macs the new Devonthink has some nice features, such as node maps.

Part of my enthusiasm for vimwiki comes from being able to use it in spite of overly jack-booted policies at work.

It’s not that I disagree with jackboots in cyber security, but being told I couldn’t have vim on my workstation was a disappointment. So, I run vimwiki on a department Linux system, completely legit in our policies.

But on a workstation? Oh, horrors, no vim! Use Notepad++, I was told.

Then this morning I see my workstation was flagged for a Notepad++ privilege escalation vulnerability.

Some days…
