Everything about privacy (the confidentiality pillar of security) -- but not restricted to infosec. Offline privacy is also relevant here.

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:

  1. Have "Send usage data" on by default
  2. Start with an example page that embeds a YouTube video, and accepts all cookies

tcpdump and mitmproxy go wild when starting the program.

Shows that the "Send usage data and diagnostics to Logseq" setting is enabled by default.
Shows the services being contacted by Logseq over HTTPS right after starting it for the first time.  Hosts that are being contact: www.youtube.com, googleads.g.doubleclick.net, jnn-pa-googleapis.com, play.google.com, app.posthog.com, o416451.ingest.sentry.io

"We are transitioning to a new storage foundation based on SQL, where all objects will be stored as JSON. This format is highly standard, making interoperability much easier. Our upcoming API will also be based on this structure."

@projetslibres_[email protected] @[email protected] That's good to hear, I hope they'll just go with SQLite.

Also nice that there's an API planned to interact with the notes, because I was thinking of how you'd get a quick note in from, for example, the CLI.
