I'll probably try out both Obsidian and LogSeq at some point. Do their use-cases overlap or are there different goals of each project?


Depends the style of notetaking you prefer - document or outliner. I prefer outliner because it allows me to slap everything all nicely organised into one massive file.

Another big difference is open-source - Logseq is, Obsidian isn't.

Do you mean org-roam ?


Why don't you trust your macs since 2014. Also why do you still use them if you don't trust them any longer?


Work only allows Mac or Win to log in to their VPN.


Change your work then. Or use windows in a VM. Always good to separate work and private system anyway.


They provide a mac. I will exit at some point.


Not OP, but for me the answer to your question is: is a tool I need. I _could_ use Windows, and absolutely not Linux/BSD (for the programs/tools I need for work), and, frankly, I don't think Windows is better.

Yes, I know that's not completely true. I _could_ use Linux (I even used Solaris on a notebook for 2 years in the past and I survived) but the cost in terms of effort, lost productivity would be higher than I'm ready to pay. It's a rational choice.

Are you sure of this? Wine (or Proton for graphics stuff) is pretty good.


Presumably the library paid for their copy?

[Edit]

Also check out OverDrive / Libby


The library would've paid for the copy regardless of whether or not the person actually borrowed the book - the act of borrowing itself makes no difference.


How does it compare to Borg?


Borg doesn't have a Windows version, for example. Borg is also command line only, while Duplicati has a nice graphical UI - by running a web server on localhost.


I've been using Vorta as a GUI for Borg for a while for personal use. It's not the prettiest thing out there but it has seemed to work fine so far. As far as restoring from old backup goes, though, I've only really tried that with a few individual files.

Windows still seems to be unsupported.


There is a nice GUI on MacOS called Vorta I think.


Borg works great (except mounting) under Cygwin.


My main issue with Borg is disk space needed locally for backup.

No idea on the rest, but the reason why I discarded it as an option.


What is old.reddit.com?


The old reddit web front end without all of the redesign's javascript bloat.


Thanks


Next we would like to hear more about what owners of open spaces are doing allowing bad humans to use them to communicate sounding words over air.


I think this means, assuming it’s not a burner SIM bought with cash, that someone could “only” identify you were a signal user. They wouldn’t be able to see your social graph , who you contacted and when, from where, what was said, what groups you were in.

I also thought I’d read on HN recently that they were looking at making this optional in the future but don’t quote me on that !


There are a few secure alternatives but as stated in the article, their goal is privacy as well as security. For instance they don’t even know who’s in which groups or that a group exists and they keep as little metadata as possible. The remaining metadata that is required for the service to work, they encrypt and don’t even have the keys.


This is answered in the article.
