What are Reddit's favorite Personal Information Manager Apps?

iPhone -FindMyiPhone app- locate, ring, erase, or lock your phone - https://www.apple.com/icloud/find-my-iphone.html

Android Device Manager - Locate, ring, lock, erase your phone - https://www.google.com/android/devicemanager

Note: The above are probably already on your phones! There are third-party apps you can purchase/install, but these come with iOS and Android.

I mainly use vimwiki which is great so far. You can navigate through your wiki ctags like. you can export your wiki to html and host it somewhere to access it from anywhere. It also supports mathjax which allows you to write latex like formulas in the wiki, which will be rendered correctly with the mathematical symbols in html. Those are my main points, why I'm using vimwiki, but there's a lot more wich I didn't discover yet.

From the about page:

> Like the cliché goes, we started Obsidian because Erica couldn't find anything that can satisfy her need to build a personal knowledge base. She has tried all kinds of software from TiddlyWiki to TheBrain; nothing felt right though. > Quarantine finally gave us the chance to start making it. After thinking about it some more, we decided on the three most fundamental directions of Obsidian: - Local-first and plain text; - Link as first-class citizen; - Make it super extensible.

The Apple Music Family Membership requires iCloud Family Sharing (1). It's 6 Apple IDs. The Family Sharing limit is 10 devices per account, 5 of which can be computers (2).

(1) Number 2 at the bottom of this page - http://www.apple.com/music/membership/

(2) Bottom of this page - https://www.apple.com/icloud/family-sharing/

The main problem is that it uses this feature: https://www.apple.com/icloud/family-sharing/

>All new iTunes, iBooks, and App Store purchases initiated by family members will be billed to the organizer’s account

That Dirty Harry movie where the kidnapper tells Harry to go to a bunch of pay phones in order to make sure he's not being "followed." FindMyiPhone would mean the entire SFPD would be aware of Harry's location.

Looks like gnome2 with a windows file browser. The mail icon is almost definitely evolution, which would fit gnome 2. And yeah, the file manager looks a lot like IE.

Also, I swear that background came as default on SOME distro. No idea which, though. Google reverse image search and tineye didn't come up with anything.

I am so surprised that vimwiki has not been listed yet.

https://github.com/vimwiki/vimwiki/blob/master/README.md

<leader>ww and it opens up. Press <return> on a word or selected set of words and it becomes a link and opens a new buffer for that link's wiki entry. <backspace> takes you to the previous entry. A great way to build up notes. I also use it for work project notes, or other random things.

I like to save the wiki in my Dropbox. It's just a bunch of html files.

let g:vimwiki_list = [{'path': '~/Dropbox/Public/briefcase/vimwiki'}]

You can also :Vimwiki2HTMLBrowse to view in your browser.

Also I'll just say that it can do a lot more than your first glance might have you believe, but at its simplest it is easy to use and the basic functionality might be all you ever need/use.

One thing I do as the resident note-taker of the group is use https://obsidian.md/, and then just put the notes on GitHub as a wiki of sorts. People can technically make changes, but they don't.

It's also really easy to make links, since there's a fair bit of auto-complete. And if the file doesn't exist when you clikc on it in edit mode, it is created immediately and you cna start typing.

The fact that I can do [[God of War]] and have it turn into [God of War](../../Characters/Gods/God of War.md) makes it really easy to get it to just work.

Looks neat, but I personally use https://obsidian.md/, and find that it models my brain super closely - Specifically the quick [[wikilink]] style of linking to (even nonexistent) files.

I'll definitely have to give nb a look though, that's neato.

> Apple takes the security of your data and the privacy of your personal information very seriously. Because of that, iCloud features are designed to keep your information safe, secure, and available only to you.

Obsidian https://obsidian.md/ is what Gray:has been using for a bit. I recently got into it and with a few plugins it's everything I hoped a notes app would be: mobile sync, easy text entry, notes aren't locked in (everything is in local markdown files) etc

Photo Stream is capped at 1000 photos, and as you add a new picture it deletes the oldest one.

What you want is iCloud Photo Library, which saves all of your pictures to iCloud Drive. There are certain software compatibility things that have to be in place, I suggest looking at the page on Apple's website.

I've been using iCloud Photo Library since it was in beta, and it's great! All my photos, 8000 plus, are in iCloud, and optimized versions get synced to all of my devices with a full version available for download at any time.

Ditch Microsoft and check out Obsidian. It's a powerful, yet simple, way to create a knowledgebase. It's free, and it's file system based. That means you can use google/dropbox/one drive, etc to sync your notes. You can also pay for Obsidian's syncing service if you don't like those other services.

It is a desktop app, but they've just released their mobile app. I even use it as a player to make a wiki for my fellow players based on what we know.

There's a ton of user mods, but for D&D, the vanilla feature set works perfectly out the gate.

Well, there’s evolution, which is relatively feature-rich. Depending on your use-case, it might be an alternative to Thunderbird. It’s integrated relatively tightly into Gnome (as it is a Gnome app), though.

Here's what I do:

1. I take daily notes. These are just random thoughts and things I do throughout the day. It really helps me remember things. I use Obsidian because they have a plugin for daily/weekly notes and it's super helpful and quick to use. Some days I don't take any notes because I had a bad day or did nothing, that's okay. Just do it when you want to remember things later.
2. At a certain cadence (weekly, monthly, whatever), I look at my daily notes and try to pick the most important things I did and transfer them to a "brag sheet". Here's more info about what is a brag sheet.
3. When it's time to have performance review talks with my manager, I transfer stuff from my brag sheet into a drive document that are basically my achievements, what I did, what impact it had, etc, and I also include peer feedback on this document.

I really recommend for everyone to have some kind of journal, especially if you work at big companies like I do. I changed managers 2 times in the last year, and if you have no way to quickly transfer context between managers, your career progress will kind of "reset" because the new manager doesn't know you. All my managers really, really appreciated me keeping these journals, it helped them help me so much, and I got promoted every time I felt I deserved it. I'm preaching to the choir since you already do this, so this is more for the other readers.

For behind the scenes stuff, check here: https://github.com/awesome-selfhosted/awesome-selfhosted

You will have to do some searching, but wikis, blogs / cmses, note taking tools, chat tools (slack clones, etc), and more can all be leveraged for your gaming.

If you find some gems, it’d be great if you came back and told us about them!

I suggest looking into ghost for blogging, mattermost for chat, Joplin for notes.

There’s also Obsidian, which is free as in beer and local: https://obsidian.md/pricing

https://www.apple.com/icloud/family-sharing/

Shared payment methods, purchases, with an administrative account managed by one or more members.

Lot of people are making a fuss about 6 people on one Apple Music account, but for most iPhone users I know the above makes it a total non-starter. Wonder if new restrictions will be in place for Android users, or if Android users will just straight up have a better experience re: sharing accounts (since Android users have no reason to care about other shared iCloud elements)

I have varying tools. My most common is to just get a bunch of word documents and jot down what's in my head in various set categories.

I discovered one tool a while ago that's interesting called The Guide. It functions like a wiki but on your desktop, and it saves files in RTF, so you have a lot of the functionality you'd want on your average word processor put into something that can organize pages for you like an actual wiki does. It's been a very helpful tool for when I write up stuff for D&D. I recommend giving it a try.

Isn't requiring a server to be set-up on each machine you want to use the wiki on quite involved?

Could you not use an HTML-based wiki such as TiddlyWiki to do something very similar? The instructions would look like:

1. Go to http://www.tiddlywiki.com/ and follow the installation instructions
2. Copy file to dropbox.
3. ????
4. Profit?

All credit to you though, nice tutorial - good work!

Learn and know the product well, use your PM skills to kick ass on the implementations (I assume you will be in there not just pre-sales?) and be very good at keeping your clients (internal/external) well informed and happy with you providing help for key decisions. Never let bad news ferment and own any issues. Make yourself invaluable but do not BE invaluable. Always make it so you can be removed easily from the equation (once a project is done) while making sure they know how valuable you are. Counterintuitive, but when doing re-orgs or turnarounds, the first thing I find and target to change are any one person dependencies (management perspective - this is a RISK to have). From your perspective, this also can limit your growth and new opportunities. If you are the only one who can do it right/well, you may be the only one doing that until you retire. Another golden key for me was to eliminate, automate and standardize everything I came across to reduce "work", increase output and have more available space on my plate. I then took on more. Do that judiciously and you'll learn more, get exposure to new things and become a "keeper". Oh and track EVERYTHING - accomplishments, challenges, team issues, etc. Journal it or use a note system (check out Obsidian.md for a nice easy and free tool if you like). If you ever end up redundant again - you'll have a nice track record to show and likely little idle time before the next gig. Best of luck

Couldn't agree more. Anki has genuinely changed my life. I used to have a really bad memory, but now I feel like I can memorize anything with SRS.

Have you looked into Obsidian btw? That's another tool I started using this past year that's actually changed my life (I'm really not exaggerating when I say that).

It's an open source version of Roam Research, but they have a massive ad-on ecosystem so you can basically add any functionality you want. It stores your notes as markdown files, so you can keep your notes wherever you want. I keep them synced through iCloud.

They have a really good plugin that lets you connect Obsidian to Anki and write your Anki cards in Obsidian. My biggest pain point with Anki previously was writing cards (it's hard to keep track of which topics you've written cards for, etc.)

Now, I just do it with Obsidian. I'll write Anki cards while I'm taking notes on the book/video/whatever and Obsidian will automatically sync the cards to Anki.

Most people who have that large an iCloud plan are no doubt using it for iCloud Photo Library. It backs up all of your photographs to iCloud and syncs them across all your devices:

Find my Iphone

and in case they have an android phone.

Android Device Manager

Either will tell you the last location within a few meters so long as OP didnt disable the service.

If you're going from a baseline of having your notes in word documents (yikes) then sure notion is going to be an improvement.

There are much better pure notetaking alternatives, though. Writing in pure markdown with something like https://obsidian.md/ is a far, far more effective 'notes brain' than notion, for example.

the way i was planning to start a discussion about lyrics these days... they have such poetic and beautiful lyrics and we don't talk about it enough

especially the ones they wrote are very special, eye of the storm and the subunits come to mind

there is this masterlist with translations for all their songs

I am not a handwriting notettaker at all (Obsidian.md all the way). However, writing by hand in the Supernote really helps to structure the ideas even though it's just a stream of consciousness. There is a distinct difference in outcomes from the handwritten brainstorming and the typed-in brainstorming. In my observation, the handwritten brainstorming gets you much closer to the results that you'd get if you had a real person to bounce the ideas off.

For such sessions i don't get hung up on the calligraphy and the text may look as ugly as I make it. The most important part is getting idea to the paper (screen) as fast as as close to what's in the head as possible. Typing does affect the thinking as I would subconsciously optimize for sentences that are easier to type in (less punctuation-heavy and, I assume, even different word choice as the muscle memory may run ahead of the thought process and fingers would type in some words that are commonly used together).

Re: hating the handwriting. I do hate mine too and am not interested in improving it for the sake of having pretty handwriting, but after some 3-4 hours with the Supernote I developed a certain techno-genic discipline. I recognize that I should write at least good enough for the OCR engine can understand me (I use the iOS app Handwriting Recognition and, lately, Google Vision). I found that using a 7mm dotted grid works the best for me. The 8mm grid makes my handwriting too large and the 6mm too dense. The good part is that i don't have to write like that all the time as for ugly handwriting is much better suited for free-flowing brainstorming sessions.

well if you don't care about legality go over and beat them up that's how I got my phone back a while back but since its an Iphone isn't there this track my phone thing provided by apple itself edit: https://www.apple.com/icloud/find-my-iphone.html

You can all have your own library (as it should be), but if you have Family Sharing set up (same credit card attached to all accounts), and one person buys a song, then everyone can download it. Same with apps. You can read more here: https://www.apple.com/icloud/family-sharing/

> I thought it was common knowledge that pretty much anything you have on your phone has the potential to be stolen, but I guess it isn't.

It really, really isn't.

I'm almost 100% sure that if these were taken from iCloud, they were taken from shared photo streams. I'm assuming this because there were videos, and iCloud doesn't automatically back those up. So my guess is that the images were probably intentionally shared with a husband/wife/boyfriend/girlfriend/whatever in a shared stream and this guy somehow gained access to that part of iCloud.

The average person doesn't have any fucking idea how this shit works, and it's safe to assume that if they're sharing a picture, they think it's just being sent to the other person's phone. I don't think they understand that the images are uploaded to a server. And it's not because they're stupid or anything like that, it's just not something that most people are really interested in. A lot of people think of celebrities as being different than the rest of us but they're just people like everybody else (well, except they tend to be rich and hot). Shared photo streams are super easy to use and are supposed to be private. I can totally believe that they're just not very savvy and they didn't understand what they were doing.

Jimin went to Busan School of Arts and KR school of arts, J-Hopes dad is a literature professor, he did well in English? Yoongi, Rapmon, J-Hope study in Audio/sound engineering/production and I would assume so is Jimin & V@ Global.

Here's a list of all the schools they went to.

Not a current student but an alumnus, and I'll offer Obsidian as a note-taking + journaling alternative for tools like Notion or Roam

Been using Obsidian lately for noting down useful reference material + thoughts, but also redoing past uni notes

It's cross-platform software for managing a "vault" of markdown files. Basically to edit and manage your own private offline wiki or knowledge base. It also has tons of user-created plugins that do all sorts of cool stuff.

https://obsidian.md/

Also, iCloud upgrades are now a subscription thing (icloud+ https://www.apple.com/icloud/) and typically Apple has you manage their subscriptions on the device so you would probably have the option to do it on the iphone settings itself anyway (and Apple really isn’t able to design a website page fir this specific thing?).

> There's videos too.

So what was hacked was most likely shared photostreams. -- iCloud doesn't automatically backup videos (I think this will change with iOS8 but I'm not sure). These had been shared in a photostream, probably between husband and wife or whatever.

Honestly it's fucking disgusting that this person shared them. Just awful.

Is there a way to donate toward specific areas/activities? For example, MS Exchange support in goa and evolution.

I noticed some projects on Bountysource but it doesn't look like the team is officially/actively using it.

Obsidian! I recently got into it and conveniently they have the iOS app now after completing a long beta. Some of the best features IMO:

1) It is simply an offline client application which reads a folder containing markdown files and metadata on your device, meaning you own all of your data and you are responsible for it;

2) The community plugin stack has fantastic support thus far, I really like the one for Mind Maps because that’s how I like organizing information;

3) You can theme it however you like, using either your own CSS, or a community provided theme;

4) The client is free on all relevant devices, the only things that cost are their device sync service and publish service. The former will make sure your notes are the same across your devices w/ backups. The latter will generate a static site (look up static site generators) which essentially displays the notes of your choosing on the internet as a static website.

I am really looking forward to the continued growth of the community and the platform as a whole. I’m also really interested to see how applications like Obsidian and Roam change the future of how regular people take notes and use documentation on their computers.

Link for the lazy: https://obsidian.md/

Obsidian.md is an excellent piece of software I use. Moved to Obsidian a few months ago from OneNote and I am sooooooo happy with it. The downside is that there are no good plugins at the moment for capturing directly from the web.

Thanks for posting this already, we just published the official blog post for 1.0: https://cloudron.io/blog/2017-06-20-cloudron-1.0.0.html

Let us know what you think, my co-founder and me had a great journey the last 2 years building this!

Don't use the same Apple ID for everyone.

Create everyone their own ID and use Family Sharing. That solves this and a lot of other potential problems.

(Besides that, you can disable automatic app downloads on each device in the settings.)

You are "sort" of correct.

Yes, the link above does say you need physical access to the device to see the history

However, if OP and husband are on Apple's Family Share (I believe OP might meant this when she said that she and her Husband share location), OP can put Husband's iPhone on Lost Mode to keep track of their location.

/u/yoginny, by any chance, are you and your husband on Apple's Family Sharing feature (assuming both use iPhone)? Do you know his Apple ID and password (assuming he uses iPhone)

The problem is iCloud is not meant to be shared. The kid should have his own iCloud account, but signed up as a child (and make his mom's icloud the parent account). Apple calls it Family Sharing. That way they can share iTunes/App Store purchases and the credit card/gift cards and they won't share texts, emails, phone calls, etc.

You can check under restrictions in settings and disable iMessage altogether, but he may still be able to read or answer other things like mail, notes, phone calls, etc. That could be an ok option if she doesn't mind her kid having access to other things on the icloud account (notes, email, phone, etc). Also turning off text forwarding in settings could be a solution. You can read more about family sharing here https://www.apple.com/icloud/family-sharing/

I'm assuming she/you already filed a police report. Did she have the find my iphone app on any of her apple devices? She will be able to see where the iPad and mac are.
Anyone with apple devices, please install this now if you haven't already. It's easy to set up and could mean the difference between recovery and being S.O.L.

yea, its simple. Create a shared photo stream, and then invite your co workers to it.
From there you choose which pictures you want to upload to the stream and share with the others. This is great especially since all of you guys are on iPhones.

If you wanna take a look through my long list of girl names, feel free! It includes both my options for first and middle names in addition to names I would love but wouldn't use on a kid. So there are a lot of different kinds of names, most of them unusual!

http://listography.com/keesnames/singular_feminine_names/8796014258

the best one I encountered and this is the one I personally use, is obsidian.md really the best one I could find, cross platform, easy to learn, GREAT community extensions, currently I don't have a single complain

Check out Obsidian! It’s an absolutely incredible (and free) app that lets you create rich, linked wiki-style notebooks. It stores everything locally on your computer (or phone, its on mobile too) as plaintext so you always own your stuff. You can also get add-on sync and publish-to-web support (for a price, base app is free).

There’s a toooooon of plugins from the community to have stuff like maps support too. It requires a little bit of markdown know-how, but it can help you with formatting stuff as well (and they have a more traditional WYSIWYG editor in progress)

Let me know if you try it out! I use it all the time for all sorts of stuff. Also check out r/obsidianmd

All my notes are in Markdown format in a folder synced to my Seafile server. Historically I just use VSCode to write notes but I've been trying out Obsidian and am liking it so far.

I used to use Evernote way back in 2014 but their applications kept getting more buggy with every release. So I switched to using plain Markdown files in a synced folder and never looked back.

I really liked Notion's features when I poked around it a year or two ago (just to see if I could steal some organizational ideas) but no offline and closed format are non-starters for me.

I use Obsidian to create plaintext notes. It allows you to install plugins, one of which is called “Obsidian to Anki” which creates flash cards from your notes.

There are various ways to set it up, but what works well for me is to have a line in my notes starting with “Q: “ treated as the front of the card and a line with “A: “ treated as the back of the card, and to use curly braces for cloze deletions. For example, this is note would result in two flashcards, one a regular question/answer card and the other a cloze deletion card:

This is just a regular note and will not be turned into a flashcard. 

Q: What is the capital of France?
A: The letter “F”. 

The capital of France is {the letter “F”}. 

You can make use of their own service, Obsidian Sync ($4/month), to sync your notes to the cloud. Alternatively, you can put your folder with notes (vault) in iCloud/OneDrive/G Drive/whatever and sync it that way.

A mobile app is currently in a private beta which you can access by contributing $25 to Obsidian.

I do not mean this personally to OP, but I am amazed how many people don't get this. It is the main advertised "selling" point of obsidian. The first thing in big letters taking up the landing page of Obsidian.md says: "Obsidian is a powerful knowledge base that works on top of a local folder of plain text Markdown files."

I used to use it, but I’ve since shifted to using Obsidian, which I prefer by a mile. It has a really in-depth linking and media insertion feature, it’s free, uses markdown for formatting, and saves everything to your hard drive in plaintext so you don’t need an internet connection to use it.

Sorry, I should have linked it: https://obsidian.md/

It's a note-taking app with a lot of features and community behind its ability to work as a "second brain" which fosters the kind of connection-making creative process I was describing.

Personally, as I grow older, I find that I'm more inclined towards focused work (at least once I motivate myself to start lol) at the cost of creativity so Obsidian and the process has been really useful to grow those few moments of spontaneity (going down those rabbit holes and having epiphanies) into something more concrete.

It's mainly the ability to link and search across basically everything in Obsidian. I have it set up as a wiki, both for my worldbuilding and other notes, so it really is a reflection of my mind, and of my rabbit-hole diving into Wikipedia and other websites.

I use Cloudron and love it, it's some of the best few dollars I spend every month. There's a pretty decent array of apps available, good documentation on how to create apps of your own that you can then publish, and it comes built in with an email server including aliases and unlimited '+' emails.

> my entire family is on the same Apple ID

Just don't do this.

Create each person their own ID and then use Family Sharing to share apps and media.

There are two different approaches when managing photos:

• Via Finder, that's what you're doing right now. You can just drag and drop images to a folder. Where you place the folder is up to you, the default Pictures folder is placed in your home directory, so in /Users/YourUserName/Pictures, so not in Documents, but near it.

• Use the Photos.app to manage your pictures. You can import them into Photos directly from your camera or phone without using the Finder. But you can also add pictures from Finder to Photos. When doing this, the images are copied into Photo's library, so you can then remove the other copy in Finder. The images will be managed through Photos then.

To add photos from your Mac to your iPhone (or other iOS device), there are two options again:

• Open iTunes, select your device, go to the photos tab, and select from where to sync. You can select either the Photos.app or a folder.

• When you're using Photos.app to manage your pictures, there also the option to use the iCloud Photo library. (More details)

I can buy that Kelly had an iPhone, and that she had it set up to be found using that website, and even that the kid had all the relevant information to log in and actually use the site. I can maybe even accept that it was possible to get all that to work even though the internet was "shut down".

But why depict it like that? It felt like the show was insulting my intelligence. Doing the proper steps would have taken the same amount of time, and wouldn't have been cringe-inducing. I cannot understand their decision here, as far as the visuals go.

I have been using vimwiki (https://github.com/vimwiki/vimwiki). Organization is pretty easy. I need to make notes with mathematical symbols and equations. I have yet to find a super solution. There are ways to do it with vimwiki and LaTek and then making a pdf version of the text file. Pretty mechanical work flow.

There's vim-wiki: https://github.com/vimwiki/vimwiki

If you don't mind external software then there is also vim-taskwarrior which if plugin for managing taskwarrior from within vim: https://github.com/farseer90718/vim-taskwarrior

> The email program is called "email"

Which one? :)

idk if I actually like this trend. Feels too generic. "Epiphany" is a much more memorable name than "GNOME Web"

Notion - Unlimited blocks and pages. There are unofficial Linux apps available, but I don't know if they work properly. I love Notion because there's more than just blocks and pages.

Obsidian - Free second brain. Also available on Linux. I only use this for writing. You can do more but I don't want my writing system to be complicated.

I use a tool called Obsidian - there are others like Roam Research, Notion, etc. but Obsidian (and its Graph tool) works for me.

I liken it to digital gardening or interior design - when it's done well, you just have this really pleasant knowledge base you can meander through.

When I think back on how I did this before (essentially from memory or digging through my Google search history), I cringe, I feel like I wasted at least a decade of good learnings by not having a tool like this to capture it and organize it all in.

> If other parts interrupt, you typically ask if they can relent so that you can continue working solo. If they can't, then you work with that part instead. I find keeping notes about which parts are interrupting+where I left off helpful because it takes me non-trivial brain-power to interact with parts, and pen&paper can fill that role fine. Keeping notes about the time you spend will also be helpful too.

Yes! I find that keeping notes and some way a record for each part very helpfult. I try to orginize a folder for each part using Obsidian. Ofcourse, I fail to do this everytime but that's ok.

Obsidian is a note-taking and knowledge management app by the people who created Dynalist, a popular online outliner and one of my favorite tools. They think of it as “an IDE for your notes.” It lets you turn a collection of plain text files into a rich network of linked thought.

The knowledge management tool Obsidian allows mermaid blocks in its markdown files. Might be worth checking out if someone wants to get up and running fast to tinker with mermaid, since it has that live markdown preview like VS Code.

Standard Notes & Joplin are both Open Source & Client-Side encrypted by default. They also have no Licencing restrictions on what you can or cannot do with their software.

Obsidian I couldn't find their Source Code, & going through their EULA surrounding Licencing & "add-on services" makes me uncomfortable. Also looking at their Pricing page, it looks like you're paying $4 or $8 USB per month for "end-to-end encryption. Joplin & Standard Notes enforce client-side encryption by default on all their mobile applications. This means the contents of your Notes are invisible to the server storing & syncing them between devices. Therefore Standard Notes & Joplin can't spy on the contents of your notes. The same can't be said for Obsidian. And even if they claimed it to be the case, it isn't Verifiable if their Source Code isn't public.

• https://obsidian.md/eula

• https://obsidian.md/pricing

So either use Standard Notes or Joplin. Both are equally reputable. Their syncing servers could also be self-hosted.

I use Obsidian to write it up as a wiki with links, tags, and index pages. The app has a plugin which allows you to view backlinks, outgoing links, and even a visualization of all related pages as a graph/web. It might be exactly what you are looking for. There are similar apps with the same features btw, in case Obsidian doesn't work for you.

If you have iCloud Photo Library activated, it will delete the photo everywhere. iCloud should not be thought of as an external hard drive in the sky, it is instead a sync and backup solution that also can save space on the devices you use. It is designed to work in the background, not be manually managed. Here’s a really good description of its functions:

https://www.apple.com/icloud/

I use MediaWiki (same as Wikipedia), if you use Categories to keep track of everything it works well. Otherwise I used to use The Guide, which also works quite well, but you can't put pictures directly into it.

I use The Guide.

It resembles a wiki, with support to images, hyperlinks, formatting, etc. And focus on a hierarchical, tree-like structure. With the hyperlinks, it's easy to manage my pet-peeves of organization: double-referencing (having double entries in different places, for example. You just link them together).

Edit: While not an online resource, I keep everything in dropbox, so I can access it from any device.

I like using vimwiki (for neovim/vim) and checking that into source control. If you combine it with something like livedown you get a live preview in your browser while working on it.

If you intend to go that route I'd recommend to take a look at :help vimwiki-option-syntax to set the syntax to markdown.

Besides watching their MVs, this listography is a good way to start off! It has a comprehensive list of their activities up until December 2017 as well as links to many of their show appearances.

Snuper also has their own youtube channel, where they have their personal show, Snuper Film. These videos are either vlog style, following them throughout their promotion and leisure activities, or more organized, where the staff give them fun challenges and games! They've started subbing the more recent episodes, so I recommend checking those out!

I've been planning on getting a Spotlight post ready for their comeback, so it'll definitely go into more detail than this, but I hope this is a good start!

For Snuper, here's a primer I found awhile ago with links to varieties and other videos! It's updated up to may this year, so this youtube channel has a few more recent things with subs. I have been on the border of getting into them for the longest time since I love all of their songs, but I never find the time. So I keep collecting sources for when I will have time!

Another girl here who's kinda dark (NW50), but i don't use mac foundation. my basics are as follows

Foundation: benefit hello flawless in nutmeg. i used to use mac foundation, but it never really worked well for me because my skin gets oily, and nothing i did would really help the situation, so when i switched to benefit i definitely had better coverage, with the ability to wear less make up so my skin wouldn't get as oily

concealer: benefit's boi-ing concealer in 05. this stuff is magic, i swear.

for everything else, i made a listography a while ago of my favorite stuff. i tend to shop at sephora more than drug stores for make up, but that's just me as a person. you can find good stuff at both, so don't think you* have* to go to sephora or ulta.

Maybe check out Evolution as it's pretty much the standard for any business that uses Linux and not webmail.

It has plugin support as well so even if it doesn't have everything you want in the base you will likely find a way to add that feature.

You could consider a tiddlywiki and email it to yourself every so often. Nothing to install (other than an html file), runs in browser, name it what you want and put it in your favorites.

I know a friend who used to write things at work that way.

I also know me, who does it that way now.

Fair point. I tried putting my markdown into Obsidian.md, which can export to PDF natively, but when I copied and pasted it, the formatting got all messed up. I was suuuuper tired at this point and wasn't thinking clearly at this point. Better preparation would've solved all my problems.

Are you looking for something that works online or offline?

I've not tried it myself, but someone posted a program called Fantasia Archive a while back that's supposed to be like WorldAnvil, but free and offline. A less world-building oriented program that I have tried was Obsidian, which I found worked quite well.

Io uso Obsidian (https://obsidian.md/) che ti permette di prendere appunti in formato markdown e di fare dei collegamenti tra varie pagine di appunti.

Se però vuoi un ulteriore livello di organizzazione, che so filtrare gli appunti per giorno o argomento, allora Notion è la cosa migliore

I like using https://obsidian.md. The internal links help to organize my content. Instead of rewriting the same page content for a specific area, I can write [[Goblin Camp#Area 10]] which will set up an easy reference to the existing content.

The downside is that Markdown syntax sucks for any kind of table structure, so you might still wanna insert links to a Google spreadsheet.

Not sure if you require an online tool or not, but if you're a huge markdown fan you should also check out Obsidian (https://obsidian.md/). Electron-based local tool that uses Markdown but offers some similar functionality to Roam.

I got on Roam right after Thomas Frank made his first video about it. I thought it was great, but that was the same weekend the service blew up overnight. Lots of people lost data. After that, I started looking for an alternative right away. What an absolute nightmare.

I especially hate being stuck in a browser window taking notes. It makes me feel like I'm on a google doc or something like that. I was born in 1995 and I ctrl-s like it's my only god. Roam and its webpage-only attitude just turns me off, knowing that no matter how much I ctrl-s, my data can still just disappear from under me.

&#x200B;

Actually there are a lot of options that are duplicating Roam's features. I think Obsidian.md (recently into open beta) is worth a try, at the very least. It has daily notes, as well as a lot more customizability than Roam does. In fact, I'm pretty sure anything Roam can do, so can Obsidian. (Except perhaps the pomodoro.) No, it doesn't have a mobile app yet, but it saves files as plaintext markdown (.md) files in a plain directory, files can be synced and encrypted by any means, and both iOS and Android have reliable markdown editors. It's also a much cheaper service.

I organize all my notes digitally, on the computer. I find it makes it easier to edit and reorganize things, not to mention simplifying sharing them. Currently I've been using Obsidian, but there's a lot of options out there.

I'm not "trying" to like it, I just didn't get into it.

That just looks like a big-o-fluster-cluck.

I write in markdown, a LOT. Several github repos and easily 100 md files. I just like the idea of having them all in one place easily accessible. I thought Obsidian was "the way", but after messing with it for a couple of days - nope.

However with fzf and some simple flags, I have instant access to them. So not really an issue.

I use Obsidian (https://obsidian.md) and their tags feature, and have so a large graph view setup for my clients. I find this (synced to git or their services) work well, especially with the add-on extensions. Their PDF viewer inside the application works well too.

Something like Cloudron? Not affiliated, just a big fan, and also helped package some apps for the platform. There's a great community around it on the forums and chat. It's BYOB (Bring Your Own Box), but the app install/App Store is as easy as it gets.

I use the mail server that comes with Cloudron on Digital Ocean. With Cloudron, I use the Amazon SES relay. This makes it relay all emails via SES. I have got good results with relaying as opposed to sending it directly from a droplet.

Edit: Found some docs at https://cloudron.io/documentation/email/#relaying-outbound-mails

While Cloudron will introduce paid plans for the service of automatic updates and support, where the free version only allows currently 2 apps, it is still a normal AGPL project and you can get the platform as well as the apps directly from git. We currently prepare some more documentation on that as it is not entirely clear for the users.

Even if you install and use Cloudron today with the approach outlined at https://cloudron.io/references/selfhosting.html once 1.0 lands you will be able to choose to go with the manual entierly free approach then. The main drawbacks of this will be that updates won't be automatic and there won't be any professional support provided.

I must admit I did click on the Tabbles in your first post but once I saw that it was closed source and Windows only, I really didn't look further.

For something that is so crucial to long term data storage, open source + cross platform would be a full requirement for my needs.

I use some closed source software, but something like this would need to be open source. What happens when Tabbles stops being supported? With open source, if the software is useful, its usually forked and then maintained by a new group. That isn't possoble with closed source.

Maybe this? https://www.tagspaces.org/ Haven't looked into it deeply, but its on my list now

Have a look at tagspaces -- it's an open standard for tagging photos that works across machine and file types. This can be done on any computer, even offline; then archiving your files in the cloud or wherever becomes a separate step.

1. what's that even mean? who's stopping you from putting certain files into certain folders or create soft links or whatever you're implying by organizing files? that's not even DE-related.
2. never used this. if i need to find something than find & locate are my best friends. And if you can't use cli, just press Ctrl+F in dolphin - it works just fine. Also what do you mean tag files? Do you mean like this: https://www.tagspaces.org/ ? You mean this is a BASIC thing? Did i miss something and every other DE's and OS's have this feature available out of the box?
3. who ever uses these? i don't know how you use your computer, but in my case 99.9% of the time there are apps on the screen and not desktop. Mostly maximized windows. And all widgets i need are at the panel so i get what i need without having to minimize all windows or switch to another virtual desktop.
4. that's just straight bs. Cold start gives you ~350M(if you don't autostart dozens of apps) and it stays about the same throughout the whole uptime(maybe it will up to 500M but what's 200M in our time, one extra tab in chrome?). If you experience a noticeable memory leaks then report a bug if you want it fixed. Because everyone* else is quite happy that the memory usage is at least twice lower than with gnome.

* not you of course

EDIT: typos

porque tabela de excel? Devem ter meios melhores de info, de imediato me vem a ideia do https://www.tagspaces.org/ por exemplo, mas só pra foto em particular acredito que tenham ferramentas até melhores e específicas.

Quanto a HDs.....você mantém ao menos 2, 3 cópias idênticas em HDs diferentes né? (ou talvez RAID)

E as cópias são guardadas em ambientes físicos distintos, certo? Um escritório e um depósito em outro canto da cidade (ou mais longe), ou até mesmo casa do dono, cofre de banco, etc. Não vai correr risco à toa de perder tudo num incêndio, inundação, roubo, tornado, o que seja.....

>the owners would have been notified

I said may.

https://www.apple.com/icloud/find-my/

>You can even find devices that are offline. > >If your missing device can’t connect to the internet, the Find My app can still help you track it down using the Find My network — hundreds of millions of iPhone, iPad, and Mac devices around the world. Nearby devices securely send the location of your missing device to iCloud, then you can see where it is in the Find My app. It’s all anonymous and encrypted to protect everyone’s privacy.

Have you looked into iCloud Sync & iCloud Drive / https://www.apple.com/icloud/ - It will sync all your documents and images across all your iDevices. If its just Files your looking for in a specific folder I use DropBox https://www.dropbox.com and all the files I want on all my devices are saved in my DropBox.

Yes it will, if you are using iCloud Photo Library. iCloud Photo Library is a sync and backup service, not an external storage drive. If you want to save space on your device, select "optimize storage" on your device and it will shrink the size of the local copies when needed. The full size copy will remain on iCloud and be pulled down when needed. It takes care of local storage space so you need not worry about managing photos.

https://www.apple.com/icloud/photos/

For the iPhone, have they tried using the Find my iPhone feature? I think it's enabled by default these days, but all they should have to do is log into their associated iCloud account to get GPS on the phone.

Um, yeah, it gives you access to every feature of iCloud, to start. https://www.apple.com/icloud/

Edit: I might be misunderstanding what you mean by "linking my Mac login account to my iCloud account", I assumed you just meant putting your iCloud account on your Mac. Is there something else you're referring to?

You mentioned "iTunes account", "iCloud account" and "Apple ID" in your post. Just to be clear, they're all actually a single account called an Apple ID and it is the "main" account for all of Apple's products.

> <em>An Apple ID is the login you use for just about everything you do with Apple, including using iCloud to store your content, downloading apps from the App Store, and buying songs, movies, and TV shows from the iTunes Store.</em>

You should just use the "iCloud account" used on your MacBook on your iPhone and not create any more accounts.

If you have applications that you've paid for and wish to gain access to on your old Apple ID, you could utilize iCloud Family Sharing.

iCloud Photo Library

"Fill your library, not your device.

Now you can spend more time shooting pictures and less time managing them. iCloud Photo Library helps you make the most of the space available on your iOS device by automatically storing the original high-resolution photos and videos in iCloud and leaving behind the lightweight version that are perfectly sized for each device. You get 5GB of iCloud storage free, and other storage plans start at $0.99 per month."

Granted, while useable, it's still a Beta. YMMV
