to me, it was helpful for night sessions, as I didn't have good light that would be too strong. This one does not shine into screen, so it's good for the eyes. But certainly not a must or anything you need.
maybe, but then I don't see my keys or stuff on the table. It dims automatically and has different color temperatures. It's practical, I don't have space behind my desk, and it's not that expensive. I didn't thought too much about it actually, when I bought it :)
Amazing write-up. Owing to your data, a standardized protocol (such as the AT Protocol) is so great! It's like markdown, everything is basically built on files (but cleverly architected so that it works decentralized across the web too!).
not sure if you understood the article, isn't the whole point to own your data as "it's just a filesystem". Reddit, Instagram, etc. are the total opposite.
Yes, I should have been clearer. Reddit and Instagram do not operate this way today, but open social alternatives to them could. The idea is that people create personal websites where posting, commenting, and other social actions live, and that becomes the filesystem they own.
Open social networks would simply index or pull from those sites using agreed-upon lexicons and protocols. Existing platforms could either adopt the open social model, or, more realistically in the short term, be treated as syndication targets where posts are pushed via their APIs when someone publishes on their own site.
Yes I'm loving the growth in this space. I'd also throw Standard.site[0] into the mix, it seems to be the lexicons Leaflet and some other apps are using.
I moved from 15 years of macOS to Linux (Omarchy in my case). I was mostly using the terminal and am therefore super happy with my choice now. I wrote more at https://www.ssp.sh/blog/macbook-to-arch-linux-omarchy/, in case of interest.
This is the story of how (Neo)Vim and Markdown unified my data engineering and writing workflow.
As CEO of Obsidian says:
> Obsidian will not exist forever, no app will. However, the files you create in Obsidian are yours, and can hopefully last for generations.
Plaintext files as the foundation, Markdown as the format, and Neovim as the editor. Combined, they will last until the end of days of computers.
- Automate remote backups
- Automate publishing a website
- Give agentic tools access to a vault without access to your full computer
- Sync a shared team vault to a server that feeds other tools
- Run scheduled automations e.g. aggregate daily notes into weekly summaries, auto-tag, etc
...all while having the speed, privacy, customizability, end-to-end encryption of Obsidian Sync.
