   For reference, below is our blog post on how you can verify the Sync encryption. Most people don't have the time or skills to set up their own sync service, but if you do setting up a DIY solution can be a fun project. https:/&#x

   (Obsidian CEO here) Impressive! It's fun to see the diversity of ways people sync/backup their Obsidian files. The nice thing about storing all your notes on your device is that it makes it possible to move and edit your Markdown

   I hope you are right but I fear it will become a process of boiling the frog. Companies that are in the business of renting access to your data will get increasingly clever at moving in this direction in small incremental steps, providing s

   If your data is stored in a database that a company can freely read and access (i.e. not end-to-end encrypted), the company will eventually update their ToS so they can use your data for AI training — the incentives are too strong to resist

    Yes :) I work on the Obsidian team and we use Sync internally to manage the development of Obsidian. In other words we dogfood it. There are definitely improvements to be made, especially in giving visibility to other members of the team ab

    Obsidian runs on a local folder of files on your device, so there are a dozen different sync services you can use including several free options, e.g. Git, Syncthing, etc. With Obsidian Sync, your $8 don't only go towards syncing. It h

    > hilariously expensive for what it does What Sync does is not only "sync", it also helps Obsidian remain profitable and 100% user supported. Subsidizing costs in pursuit of growth is what got Evernote here.

    You taught me something! I don't think it majorly affects the point I was trying to make, but I hate to have an inaccuracy. Edited to say "ancient temples" instead of "pyramids", thank you for the correction.

    "The way to figure out what to work on is by working. If you're not sure what to work on, guess. But pick something and get going." I very much agree with this sentiment. That's how you find good problems to solve. In ge

    I don't necessarily agree with this, but let's roll with it — it doesn't change my prediction that in 10 years, 50% of people in commercial flights will be wearing a headset ...and if people buy that device for travel, many o

    If you and I are on an airplane together, both sitting next to each other but virtually somewhere else, it could be compelling. Currently my two (separated) parents and my two siblings each live in a different city. If all five of us could

    I was referencing the original post. In 10 years, it wouldn't be $12k, probably more like $1k for 4 headsets.

    To be clear, I was fast-forwarding 10 years. By then you'll be able to get a high-resolution dual micro-OLED headset for less than $300. They will be on a similar trajectory to smartphone displays.

    There's a bunch of solutions to that already — e.g. share audio on iOS, and "watch party" type features on Netflix/etc. Yes they require everyone to have their own screen, but if that screen is a headset that gives you a

    Good point! The white earbuds (wired or not) are perhaps the best example of that.
