  • yes, regular markdown notes has been a good decision 😅

    In the beginning, the query results were stored in the markdown files, which could be useful if reading them in another app. But now I just get the query code. I think there were reasons

    I’m glad to hear things have cooled down. Does it take much effort to understand and use the templating stuff? I just remember templates got pushed to a different view, and I needed some header tags to get it working

    So you like spaces or not? I never got that far with silverbullet. And I haven’t used Trillium. I loved evernote when it came out. But it made me aware of the value of maintaining my own data.

    Now I try to have data in a directory structure and not in databases


  • I am not thinking of the most recent versions.

    The query system was updated, around version 0.6 if i remember correctly. I don’t think the updates were bad, but some things broke and I am too old for “bleeding edge”. The template system was also updated at some point

    I don’t have a great solution. I use syncthing to keep notes local on all devices and MarkText on desktop and Zettel Notes on android.

    what i really liked about silverbullet was that it had offline support. but there were made some changes there as well along the way, and for me it became less stable after it became optional. But I haven’t actively used it for some time. I still got an instance running tho






  • I use syncthing to copy important files between pc, phone and proxmox server. Syncthing can be set up with version control so it keeps old versions of files.

    Only the proxmox server is properly backed up though. to a proxmox backup server running in a VM on said proxmox server. the encryptred backup files are copied to backblaze using rclone

    Not sure if this is what you are looking for, but it works for me.

    TLDR syncthing for copies between local machines, and proxmox backup server and backblaze for proper backups






  • I use Debian + Gnome without custom extensions and like it.

    I don’t use too many programs, so in the overview I have Firefox in position 1, signal in position 2 and steam in 3. Then I use Win+1,2,3 to launch them.

    For other programs, I hit Win and then start typing the name and hit enter.

    For switching between windows, i use alt-tab or alt-(key above tab). If I have many windows or playing game in full screen, I hit Win-key once and choose the window i want.

    I don’t use workspaces, never found a good flow. And I rarely miss a taskbar.
