VSCode is not even a true IDE like, for example, VS itself.

Hands down the best game I ever played. The immersion is unreal and the ending left me with goosebumps and a dropped jaw.

I heard of many recent border stories, but this one really sounds like an oppressive regime.

It sometimes will still decide to murder your boot manager.

One Luigi a day, keeps the Spez away.

Wrong again. Please research before you start shouting.

WhatsApp uses the Signal protocol. The difference is, it being owned by Meta, it also logs all the metadata it can alongside your real phone number.

Signal messenger uses the Signal protocol. Contrary to WhatsApp, it does not store any metadata. Your phone number is used by the Signal protocol merely as a cryptographic hash. That means, it’s impossible to know who is communicating with whom.

It is not replacing “one system” with “another system”. It essence, signal is WhatsApp, but with all the added spying features stripped, none added.

You know that your phone number is never saved anywhere? Signal only uses a cryptographic hash of your phone number.

Not sure if I got the update yet, but I’m banning my printer from accessing the internet right now.

You can still build it yourself.

Damn, wood. Or wood-looking material at least.

Nerd.

You’re right, I wasn’t thinking about the android app when writing this.

Ale we talking about the same thing?

Yeah, works nice as long as you have a server to host it on.

The only annoyance is that it’s not very space efficient and you have to rebuild your database like twice a year to bring the size back down. It might be not that bad depending on what you do. I create above thousand new lines of notes with a lot of pictures every day and I’m at around 2GB after rebuilding the database. I expect it to go up to like 6GB biyearly, but, again, clicking on the rebuild button deals with that.

Have you seen the community-made self hosted sync plugin?

There in fact are FOSS alternatives like Joplin. Personally, I actually switched from Joplin to Obsidian due to a larger community (and therefore community-driven plugins) and overall a more polished UX. That being said, I have the security of switching back if Obsidian ever becomes evil or unusable.

Another aspect is that the entire source code is technically viewable (partially obfuscated) since it’s a web app. Having written plugins for Obsidian, you’re very much interacting with the source code itself. Feels like open source with extra steps and I wish one day they will finally make the switch to true FOSS.

In my mind I excused it ask having low but constant volume of users.

The graphs are relative to each medium. You can’t directly compare the popularity of different apps from this image.

Edit: Here you can compare them to each other yourself:

You can see that 100% of one app in this post doesn’t equal 100% of another app.

It looks so flimsy. The size of the keyboard compared to the screen feels like it would be nearly impossible to type on it with the thumbs comfortably and without the phone falling out of your hand.

Edit: Oh no, I just noticed that’s a case. Than makes it even worse. I would not trust that thing to hold my phone in place.

No better time to get into self hosting!
