#obsidian #obsidianMd is mentioned relatively often for #ttrpg campaign notes.
Have any of you done that with #logseq? What are your experiences? (in comparison or separately)

It seems to me that the different structure offers advantages and disadvantages in comparison, but logseq could work well for my application (many, but not very extensive notes, which I record wildly distributed as thoughts; and probably no need for special plugins)

looking for some #Logseq alternatives. am a (mostly) happy Logseq user, but there are a few friction points and i’d be willing to consider something new.

looking for something that is…

  • block based (goes for editing, tagging, embedding, transcluding, etc)
  • a not awful mobile experience (i don't do a ton of entry on mobile, but i do like to reference things from time to time)
  • offline capable (i can deal if something is cloud based if it's e2ee and available offline, online-only tools are a non-starter)
  • no AI crap (or at least be easy to turn off, and not a core/integral part of the thing)

stuff i've tried: Obsidian, Anytype (though this was a while ago, admittedly), Craft, Notion, DEVONthink

boosts appreciated!

About a day into having migrated my #Obsidian vault back to iCloud Drive based syncing. So far so good but obviously any intermittent sync problems will take a while to be noticeable.

Pro tip: a common issue here is preventing the OS from 'optimizing storage' by nuking infrequently touched files from the local disk. macOS has a blanket “just don't fucking do that for anything in iCloud Drive”, iOS/iPadOS require you to set it on a per-folder basis.

This is an Obsidian plugin that easily allows you to track your water intake.

The plugin creates a button in the Obsidian ribbon. You can configure the button to list what type of drink you've had–for example, water or coffee—and the plugin can also be configured to list your water intake in a daily–note file.

The GitHub repository lists a dataviewjs code example to display liquid intake in a file.

I might also experiment with reverting from #Obsidian native sync back to iCloud-based sync, though I went the other way early on, because iCloud had its own issues (typically, not /enough/ syncing, it would frequently just stop syncing that folder entirely for hours or days at a time).

But if I'm supremely lucky maybe that iCloud issue (which was mostly on the Mac side) was specific to the version of macOS I was on at the time? 🤞🏻

Now, #Obsidian /has/ added tools /around/ this problem in the last year+, so if I’m lucky enough to catch the issue before I've made further edits to the note, it’s pretty quick to view diff history and restore previous version.

But that's a big "if”; it happens so quietly and frequently I often can’t catch it til after subsequent edits, and then it's an actual pain in the ass to disentangle 😩

Plz 2 make sync a li'l smarter and/or let me put a client in read-only mode!

#Obsidian sync is getting /so/ bad I'm starting to think about drastic measures 😞

Constant instances of one of my mobile devices deciding to push its older copy of random notes (as in - notes I am 110% /not opening or editing on that device in any way/) and the merge resolver going “sweet, thanks!" - now a random subset of sentences/list items/etc are duplicated throughout the note.

And as this happens in the background, I frequently won't notice for days or weeks.
