I'm checking out various "personal knowledge management" tools in a sandbox to see if it be an upgrade my ragtag collection of text file-based notes.
First candidate is #Logseq, supposedly "privacy-first".
How #privacy friendly is something based on Electron (aka Chrome)? Debatable, but then they also do this:
- Have "Send usage data" on by default
- Start with an example page that embeds a YouTube video, and accepts all cookies
tcpdump and mitmproxy go wild when starting the program.
@trinsec Plain-files-on-disk is certainly is a big advantage compared to Anytype (and possibly the next version of Logseq), where everything is stored in a database blob.
Anytype "objects" are exportable as Markdown (but with loss of metadata) or as a Protobuf-parseable packet but I didn't find any CLI tool to do that in an automated way. So something I need to consider in my choice.
I'm pleasantly surprised by Obsidian so far, just need to keep an eye on the background activity of plugins.
@loadhigh@bitbang.social @trinsec@trinsec.org thank you for your very informative thread !
have you heard about https://b3log.org/siyuan/ ?
@projetslibres_podcast@piaille.fr @trinsec@trinsec.org Thanks!
I hadn't heard of it but it looks pretty good. A bit like Anytype with its templates and relations, but with contents just stored as plain files on disk and hopefully with less tracking.
I will give it try tomorrow, thanks :)
@loadhigh@bitbang.social @trinsec@trinsec.org I'd just heard about it recently (I'm an Anytype user) and wanted to give it a try also.
