    I am currently trying to organize my notes. The old ‘system’ is a pain, and getting everything centralized makes it easier to find things. Notes, snippets, bookmarks, and so on.

      What strategies or software are you using? My stuff is also kind of spread out right now: informal notes in loosely structured folders, formal stuff in a zettelkasten directory, bookmarks in a recfile, and work stuff in a Zim notebook.

        On the notes side I am torn right now between using Obsidian for a bunch of things and Simplenote.

          Do you know https://logseq.com/ ? - I think it is considered an alternative to Obisidian. Had been using it for a while, was great, but it was almost too much work to organize everything.

            Haven’t heard of it no. Might have to check it out. Though I’ve been reasonably happy with Obsidian thus far.

          Obsidian looks great. Too bad it doesn’t let you encrypt your vault via the application.

            Does that extend to vaults that are brought in via iCloud or elsewhere on-drive? Or just vaults that are created manually within the UI?

              The vaults created on your device are stored in clear-text. I have seen discussions about encrypting the vault yourself using cryptomator or veracrypt.

              I believe they have E2EE for the remote vaults if you subscribe to Obsidian Sync.

              You can use cryptomator to encrypt your vault if you are storing it on your cloud drive but i couldn’t find out an easy way to enable sync that with my android device.

        Haven’t found my perfect solution. The current goal is get everything together and see what I really need. Most likely a single .md file that I can encrypt and sync in my machines, but not sure yet.

    I’m a sysadmin (for now) so it’s patch week for me. No big surprises so far so hopefully it’ll be a nice relaxing weekend!

      I worked VM (vulnerability management) for a long time. So I’m used to bringing the pain for sys admins =P. Hope it’s a lighter weekend!

    A day late and a dollar short as usual…

    This week has been wrapping up some automation/deployments for two infosec educational events, an Interns CTF and a multi-regional WebGoat deployment for ~150 users.

    All done with Terraform and Ansible, hosted in AWS.

      It’s a weekly thread so you can get away with posting late =). Sounds like you have some cool stuff going on though!
