  • There is a plugin called gpgCrypt that might do full vault encryption (no idea how well it works) but it does mention that Obsidian's cache of notes will still be unencrypted on disk.

  • encription
  • Not that I know of. Obsidian sync between multiple devices is end-to-end encrypted but it all ends up unencrypted on device. Some plugins let you encrypt sensitive information/notes (Meld Encrypt) - I haven't used it in some time but when I did it was a little finicky.

    Some other options:

    • Use disk encryption on your devices.
    • Install a Linux distro in a virtual machine with encrypted home partition exclusively for running Obsidian. (It's like electron except you're bundling an operating system)
    • Use android work mode/insular to isolate Obsidian's files from other apps.
  • Epic Games has dropped another Free Game on its store
  • I bought Guardians of the Galaxy during the Steam Winter Sale for about $15... which I think is a better deal than getting it for free and having to deal with Epic Games.

  • WordPress now offers official support for ActivityPub
  • I was going to ask if it's only on the commercial wordpress offering but nope turns out they've put it out a plugin. https://github.com/Automattic/wordpress-activitypub

  • Microsoft shuts down Cortana, Apple should do the same with Siri
  • Good riddance. I can't stand voice assistants. Obviously they're useful for some folks but if I don't want to use them they shouldn't be running on my system at all. I don't want Bixby, I don't want Xbox Gamebar, I don't want Ok Google, I don't want Edge... it's just endlessly tedious that these companies push an update through and dark pattern their way into getting it running on your system or straight up don't ask you.

  • Hateforking alreading happening for Fireffish
  • It's one of those project names that only makes sense if you know that the creator goes by the name 'thatonecalculator', 'calc' for short and it's their fork of 'misskey' - boom, it's calckey.

    But for anyone else and general adoption it really doesn't suit it. I think I'd have to come up with new names for some of my personal projects too if I ever released them since the naming scheme is similar... like 'dowathbin' 'dowathstodon'

  • Linux - video editing software?
  • easy. open up terminal. launch vim. start writing a MLT-compatible XML file with your edit choices. exit vim (you know how). run the melt export timeline command. video done.

    i use arch btw.

  • Twitter is now X as the little blue bird disappears
  • The twitter branding was one of the few things actually going for it. Oh look a cute birdie, oh look the house is a birdhouse! GET IT!

    Now it's, an X? A meaningless X? With a birdhouse home icon and bird-related words everywhere?

  • Different fonts for editing and reading views?
  • You can also do this with any theme if you setup a CSS Snippet:

    // This is the one that works for me
    .markdown-source-view.mod-cm6 .cm-scroller {
        font-family: monospace;
    }
    
    // You may also want to do this one
    .markdown-source-view {
        font-family: monospace;
    }
    
    

    Then reading view will use whatever font you've configured in the settings.

  • Is it okay to use a third-party battery for MacBook Air?
  • Third-party batteries are fine but as others have mentioned, look for a reputable seller. Newer Tech NuPower, XINGLT, iFixit. etc. Any 'official' battery you get is likely going to be a second-hand one or a third-party one being sold as official anyway.

  • YES. 🙏

    That works, can't believe I didn't think of that. Thanks!!

  • Embedding an image when using dataview rows?

    Hi all,

    Discovered that I could embed images into dataview and have been changing up a bunch of my index pages excitedly.

    It works great with my gear list:

    > [!tip] Gear list >dataview > TABLE >regexreplace(file.folder, ".*\/([^\/]+)$", "$1") AS "Department", > shows AS "Shows", >embed(link(image, "125")) AS Image > FROM "Knowledgebase/Video Production/On-Set/Equipment" > sort file.mday desc > ```

    ```

    At the top of each 'Equipment' note I have the variables:

    ``` category:: Lighting shows:: [[Show Name 1]],[[Show Name 2]] image:: [[MoonLite by LumenRadio-1689061964287.jpeg]]

    ```

    That works entirely as expected - I get a snazzy list of images down the dataview for each item.

    However, it doesn't work in this dataview, which is slightly different in the sense that it groups by 'type' - but even without the group-by clause it doesn't work:

    > [!Example] Devices >dataview > TABLE > rows.file.link AS "Title", > embed(link(rows.file.image, "250")) AS Image > FROM "Journal/Entities/Devices" > WHERE type > GROUP BY type > SORT type DESC > ```

    ```

    With these notes having these variables:

    ``` type:: Server image:: [[Pasted image 20221026215500.png]]

    ```

    I thought 'rows.file.image' is how I'd access the image this time around, but unfortunately not.

    This works, but not when I try to group them and bring in information using rows.file.

    > [!Example] Devices >dataview > TABLE > embed(link(image, "250")) AS Image > FROM "Journal/Entities/Devices" > WHERE type > SORT type DESC > ```

    ```

    Any thoughts?

    Can I just say how awesome Obsidian is?
  • Yeah the fact that it saves into JSON files is ridiculous. xD
    I was using Minimal for the longest time, now I'm on a modified version of Tokyo Night. I just needed the contrast to look a bit punchier.

    Kinda wish that Obsidian integrated handwriting into the canvas like Logseq has done with their whiteboard... it would be so cool

  • Can I just say how awesome Obsidian is?
  • ONE OF US. ONE OF US.
    My main concern now though is that there's a single point of failure for my mental well being. I'm reaally gonna need to keep backups because it's not just my 'second brain' I think most of my actual brain is in there at this point.

  • Can I just say how awesome Obsidian is?
  • I'm so annoyed with myself for not giving Excalidraw more of a try. When I first installed Obsidian it was one of the plugins I tried out, but for some reason didn't end up using it. I had a Galaxy Note, but I never thought to install the plugin on the phone, I just assumed that it'd be a little janky.

    Recently however I was looking for a cross-platform handwritten notes app that would work with my iPad w/ Apple Pencil and Galaxy Note w/ S-Pen... low and behold after trying all these other apps I remembered Excalidraw and decided to see what it was like. Holy crap, how did I miss this? Under my nose the whole time.

  • If everyone on Earth stood in a line so that you could say "Hi" to everybody you'd only manage to greet 1/3rd of the population before you die.

    Assuming you and everyone you're greeting didn't need to sleep, eat, drink or do anything other than saying/hearing "Hi" but death from old-age still applies, but only to you. For reasons.

    I don't know. I'm not showing my working out, this is showerthoughts not 'math genius' don't @ me.
