If you want to push them for Obsidian support, take 5 mins and put that into their user survey…
I just put it into all the “what apps do you use for” sections that were appropriate, and I think there was also a free text section where I put “better MD export support” into, from memory…
I hear you on the obsidian vault costs, but for what it saves me in hassle I ended up going the full license, with 10 vaults… I have one for home, one for work, one for testing obsidian plugins/new tricks, and my also kid uses one for school…
So far, bulletproof, and individual crypto keys for vaults means separation between church/state/school is maintained…
The sync handles simultaneous editing on phone/laptop so that’s golden.
I alsu use nebo for handwritten notes on my android tablet, and export text to my daily note. (Just wish it exported MD properly! 🫤)
Oh, I totally get it… I’ve been in the same place many times (and I’m sure I will be again…)
I just have a policy of trying to support these things whenever I’m able to, otherwise I feel I’m not able to grumble when privacy respecting apps disappear from existence through lack of financial support…
For what it’s worth, I ended up choosing the obsidian sync service. While it goes against my “self host everything” mantra, I do also want to support software makers who make great products that respect peoples privacy. As such, I decided the $8/m investment was warranted.
My son in highschool uses Obsidian for all his school note taking, so he actually is able to use the same sync subscription… As each vault has separate keys, there’s no privacy issues between us…
My favourite part of this solution is it supports live update from multiple devices at once, so I have the vault open on phone, tablet, home laptop and work laptop simultaneously, and it just works…
Just thought it was worth sharing.
I just went with GrapheneOS on a Pixel… It’s as close to “it just works” as you’re going to get in my opinion on a device that respects your privacy. .
there are ways to make it easier; it’s been gamified:

When my partner stops to play pokemon go, I complete some Open Street Map info quests…

And it was actually 0day when the production company made the scene…
FWIW, Little known fact: Matrix 2 used real vuln (SSH CRC32) for trinity power grid hacking scene.
Even better to know: the scene was completed before the CRC32 vuln was public. So the scene used real 0day vuln…
5·1 year agoI’ve used the 3x multiplier for staff planning at services companies since the early 2000s.
Perhaps there are regional differences, but they’ve rung true for planning billable rates of return at every services company I’ve worked at in the last 20 years here in AU.
I realise that the services aspect isn’t relevant, but having the sum of indirect staff costs equivalent to staff salary cost when office space is involved isn’t a massive stretch in my experience. (Indirect costs would include office rent, utilities, infrastructure and a share of shared functions such as IT, HR, facilities etc…)
When running a business, you need to budget 3x salary for actual TCO of a staff member:
1x covers their direct salary 2x covers retirement fund, electricity, office space, and infrastructure items unlike server and laptops for corporate use etc.
The 3x multiplier is for when you’re a services company, and that represents a possibly profit margin.
So for signal, your $380k becomes $190k which in my experience is average for a US tech sw dev at a mid to early senior level.
I donate to signal monthly and I have no problems with the costs they’re posting. I work in SV tech and I’ve seen 20x worse numbers.
FWIW GrapheneOS patched these storage bugs before they made it to their A14 beta.
Yeah. I’m grandfathered in on a $90/yr plan for inbound which is workable.
DuoCircle but I’ve just checked and the service I pay $90/year for is now $50/month, which is bananas for my low email volumes.
I aplaud the write up and recognise that the OP has developed a solution that suits their use case.
Personally I started running my own mail around the same time, but host for several family members at the same time.
I went a slightly different route and pay for a mail filtering service for inbound filtering and outbound relay. All up costs me $90USD per year for inbound and $4 a month for outbound
This has solved most blacklist and outbound mail server reputation issues.
I used to run zarafa till they went commercial. I’ve since migrated to Mailinabox as a platform. Its pretty resilient. (I’ve just disabled greylisying and spam detection as I’ve got upstream MX filtering already) I’ve also recently been through a MiaB major upgrade - it was pretty simple once I actually read the instructions properly!
I get concerned when companies like Apple uses the “We won’t break our application for demands of one country” argument as Australia, France, the USA and possibly other countries are either planning or already have similar legislation.
The right argument to have is the one that says “this is just plain wrong!”. That is a much tougher needle to thread though.
First macbook air was ethereal, nas was bitbucket, first macbook pros deathstar then dreadnaught, second bigger nas was abyss…
More recently I’ve been using Neal Stevenson characters and themes.
Mobile wass “primer”, high spec laptop was “reason”, workhorse laptop was “chevaline”…
Work servers I’ve always liked two themes:
Chaos or medications:
Anarchy, bedlam, disturbed, chaos, mayhem, futility, entropy, maelstrom,
Sudafed, NyQuil, Tylenol, advil, codeine, morphine, panadol, Valium,
Self host with mail-in-a-box
I’ve used airtable for these sorts of “personal use” use cases (eg: home built rocketry flight log) and I was even able to use their iPhone / Android app to enter data.
I haven’t paid a cent for it yet as I’m well under their data caps.
