I completely agree with this take. There's an immense feeling of calm when your digital life revolves around files you completely own. I've managed my entire productivity around a single org-mode file for the bast five years and it perfectly adapts to my needs. Add on top of that syncthing and I have a robust system I can use on mobile that works perfectly for me.
I feel I could leave and come back in 20 years and still use my org-mode productivity file, Emms[1] playlist, verb[2] HTTP request book, etc. exactly the same as I left off. What would my data in Notion, Postman, etc. all look like in 20 years if left unattended?

- brendyn 2y agoI heard syncthing has recently given up on developing the android app. Unfortunately the filesystem in android has become more and more restrictive so using an app to manage files globally that reside in each individual apps container is becoming more difficult. i onced synced 70k small files to android and it took 2 months to complete due to the virtual filesystem.
