All 450+ of my journal entries, notes and computer ideas are unencrypted, public and shared and worked on in the open on GitHub, so are not encrypted except over TLS when I edit them on GitHub when logged in under my account samsquire If you like other people's technical perspectives are looking for ideas or side project ideas to learn of then read my journal For context I am a DevOps and software engineer interested in performance, distributed systems, parallelism, concurrency, futuristic GUIs, the future of programming, how computers can be used to improve society and community ideas. Ideas for Computing 2013 https://GitHub.com/samsquire/ideas https://GitHub.com/samsquire/ideas Ideas for Computing 2 https://GitHub.com/samsquire/ideas2 https://GitHub.com/samsquire/ideas2 Ideas for Computing 3 https://GitHub.com/samsquire/ideas3 https://GitHub.com/samsquire/ideas3 Ideas for Computing 4 (start here if you're interested in parallelism and concurrency and algorithms) https://GitHub.com/samsquire/ideas4 https://GitHub.com/samsquire/ideas4 Startup ideas https://GitHub.com/samsquire/startups https://GitHub.com/samsquire/startups Since I'm still working on these journal entries, I don't want people to miss ideas I added if people don't come back so I create a new repository when I get to a certain number of journal entries and then announce them to others At some point I need to take a cut on ideas4

Wow this is like an extreme version of "working in the open". If you don't mind me asking, do you have any private notes? Like maybe your workout notes or something? If so, what proportion of your notes would you say you keep private?

  When I'm at working for or at a company I either use the company or client provided Wiki such as Confluence or knowledge base software. This is private to the company. For quick notes I use notepad++ and VS Code. If I were to join a project going forward I would create a journal directory in the repository and each day I would create a new document. I would move common reference commands and information to a separate file for easier reference. I use a password database and I occasionally save plaintext .txt files to my OneDrive folder. These are not encrypted but local to my computer but synced. I create diagrams and GUI mockups with Evolus Pencil. I have a Me folder for my CV/resume and saved invoices or saved purchase confirmation web pages or PDFs. I also store notes in OmniNotes on Android phone. These are private. What proportion of my notes are private? There is far more public notes than private notes.

    Wow I would imagine most people are the opposite, with more private than public notes. Very cool, thanks for the detailed response
