I am a fan of using Obsidian sync because it lets me have different settings on each device where I use the app, but I recently found out that if you use Syncthing for DIY syncing, you can omit the .obsidian folder, where all the settings are kept and get the same result. #Obsidian #ObsidianMD #PKM

Obs.: Pergunto porque meu #notebook está cada vez mais pesado (e quente), e eu gostaria de tentar usar #linux , mas se a curva de aprendizado for muito complicada vou preferir deixar pra outro momento.

Aliás: Usar Linux me ajudaria com isso do notebook?

- Não jogo
- Sou #fotografa , então edito imagens com os programas obtidos daquele jeito...
- O uso normal costuma ser para estudar e assistir uns videozinhos.

One benefit of Obsidian text files is that it's easy to use Python with them - especially with the help pf ChatGPT or Gemini. I've been able to use Python to turn a CSV file into 300 properly formatted Obsidian notes. Have you done anything cool with Pyton and Obsidian? #Obsidian #ObsidianMD #PKM

Q. What's better: digital or analog? This system or that method?

A. Yes

This week I present three tiny PKM-themed principles to follow when the thing you admire, that thing other people are successfully using or doing, isn’t working for you.

This was also an opportunity to test Obsidian's new Web Viewer plugin. It is so much of a smoother experience, being able to edit your text and see the effect right away. If you use something like Hugo's dev server locally, it will cause the page to re-render each time the file gets saved, so changes are near-instantaneous.

Great stuff!

I'm running the Catalyst release of Obsidian mobile. It feels like that after a long period of stability, it is once again barely functional for me. It quits and restarts multiple times and syncing is extrordinarily slow. I'm on an iPhone Pro Max 15 with almost no plugins. #Obsidian #ObsidianMD #PKM

In anticipation of my apprenticeship/course in software development, I'm looking at note taking apps again. Used Obsidian heavily, but I think it's become too bloated. I liked and wanted to use Emacs, but it's so complicated, it's too much work (to have it sync etc). NotesNook looks good, but when I import my notes, none of the images show. Logseq do Orgmode now, so that's a strong possibility...
Anything else I should look at?

@0xSim You're going to put thousands of tech journalists and YouTubers out of work if you advocate against software tips. Obsidian at Level 1 is "just notes" but many people use it for much more than that. I wrote 500K words in it during the last year. None of the DIY sync methods offer the benefits that Obsidian sync does and there are many benefits with per device plugin settings be a big one. #Obsidian #ObsidianMD #PKM
