If you want to push them for Obsidian support, take 5 mins and put that into their user survey…

I just put it into all the “what apps do you use for” sections that were appropriate, and I think there was also a free text section where I put “better MD export support” into, from memory…

I hear you on the obsidian vault costs, but for what it saves me in hassle I ended up going the full license, with 10 vaults… I have one for home, one for work, one for testing obsidian plugins/new tricks, and my also kid uses one for school…

So far, bulletproof, and individual crypto keys for vaults means separation between church/state/school is maintained…

The sync handles simultaneous editing on phone/laptop so that’s golden.

I alsu use nebo for handwritten notes on my android tablet, and export text to my daily note. (Just wish it exported MD properly! 🫤)

You lost this one… They’ve even written songs about it…

Oh, I totally get it… I’ve been in the same place many times (and I’m sure I will be again…)

I just have a policy of trying to support these things whenever I’m able to, otherwise I feel I’m not able to grumble when privacy respecting apps disappear from existence through lack of financial support…

For what it’s worth, I ended up choosing the obsidian sync service. While it goes against my “self host everything” mantra, I do also want to support software makers who make great products that respect peoples privacy. As such, I decided the $8/m investment was warranted.

My son in highschool uses Obsidian for all his school note taking, so he actually is able to use the same sync subscription… As each vault has separate keys, there’s no privacy issues between us…

My favourite part of this solution is it supports live update from multiple devices at once, so I have the vault open on phone, tablet, home laptop and work laptop simultaneously, and it just works…

Just thought it was worth sharing.

I just went with GrapheneOS on a Pixel… It’s as close to “it just works” as you’re going to get in my opinion on a device that respects your privacy. .

there are ways to make it easier; it’s been gamified:

When my partner stops to play pokemon go, I complete some Open Street Map info quests…

They run GrapheneOS Wonderfully…

+1 for Thunderbird for Windows, OSX and Linux…

As a product manager, I simply choose to overlook things like “implementation details” or “the laws of physics!!” /s 🤣

On a more serious note, I’m just reaching a point where I just want a small, reliable, and minimalist mp3 playing app for the Mac, as I’m starting to get sick of every single service wanting $20/m for stuff.

I pine for the whipping the Lamas ass winamp used to give…

There’s a recreation in re:Amp for osx, but I’d much prefer OSS apps…

Generally, I’d rather go back to just buying the music I want, ripping it and putting it on the devices I want to listen to it from…

Mac Port! Mac Port! Mac Port!

Depends on the price. I was able to return a 13 month old iPhone when apple announced the CSAM scanning (that they eventually abandoned) - I got a full refund. The phone costs enough that ACL considers it should operate for at least 2 years.

At least in Australia, Consumer Law means you have grounds to walk the TV back for a full refund.

Had a miniature poodle go blind at my parents hiise when I was 17/18 and he was peeing everywhere in the house suddenly.

Spent a day watching and realised he was laying scent markers for navigation.

Cleaned up all the wee and started tagging the left side of every doorway with a different herb/spice (basil, thyme, Rosemary, paprika etc). Just grabbed some dried herbs and rubbed them in the bottom left of all the doorways.

Took the dog through the house on a lead, and let him smell each door and took him outside.

Pretty much stopped the inside peejng, unless we forgot to replace the herb/spice rubs, or mixed up which herb went where when we reapplied…

My friends started calling my place the KFC shack.

And it was actually 0day when the production company made the scene…

FWIW, Little known fact: Matrix 2 used real vuln (SSH CRC32) for trinity power grid hacking scene.

Even better to know: the scene was completed before the CRC32 vuln was public. So the scene used real 0day vuln…

Australia’s Basic Online Safety Expectations made it required by law:

“If the service uses encryption, the provider of the service will take reasonable steps to develop and implement processes to detect and address material or activity on the service that is or may be unlawful or harmful”

For those interested in privacy respecting android, check out GrapheneOS on Pixel: De-googled android that is strong on security and rips google out of your device… Ive been using it for two years and won’t go back. ::: spoiler Title

Yeah. I’m grandfathered in on a $90/yr plan for inbound which is workable.
