Thanks for suggesting this. Notable's focused feature set and open file format reminds me of the ethos behind NoteWiki, which is an ancient win32 program that is basically a glorified notepad window that converts camelCased words to hy

Wow, you aren't kidding! I will start watching the Github repo for that with interest. https://github.com/xournalpp/xournalpp/issues/937 Feb 25 2019 -> The main issue on he fileformat is, that it&#x27

Thanks for posting this. Zim looks to be a good self-hosted alternative to my dokuwiki instance, but as it lacks embedding images, file attachments, ink support, it's not quite there.

I have been contemplating ripping the onenote notebook out of OneDrive and onto the local file system, then using syncthing to sync it between my various devices. While this solution will let me get back to business with OneNote 2010, I am

This looks very, very close! I may end up trying it as it seems I may be looking into a 'perfect is enemy of good' situation here. This does not support handwriting / free-inking AFAICT but does have a very promising feature

This looks great, and I plan to try it out. Looks like a FOSS competitor to Windows Journal but much better. It does not (at least based on reading the readme and looking at the feature list) support pasting images, file attachments, or aud

Does LibreOffice have an answer to OneNote style documents? I know for a while in MS Office 97 there were obscure optional tools like Binder (that I used the fool out of ) and Equation Editor (that I never opened) - does LibreOffice have th

My comment is an unresearched, not even cursorially google-searched, from-memory assertion, so take with 5 buckets of salt please, and if I'm wrong I'd like to correct my ignorance, so someone please correct me :) My understanding

I'm sorry to say I'm not the target audience for this (I've done a grand total of 7 paragraphs of K & R C, everything else is JIT or otherwise high level). I will say it looks to have much nicer syntax than C without losi

I use RSS/ATOM every day via the feature that introduced me to the concept - Firefox Live Bookmarks (via Waterfox). I've hung on as long as I can, but between Waterfox Classic being on an older ESR and it getting sold to Privacy O

So, I'm too young to have ever used IRC. This must be a biggish deal to make it #2 on HN homepage. But can someone put this in perspective of how big a deal this is? On a scale of 'Rando County Legacy ISP-provided email service&#x

We use Ansible for all of our legacy tech, the non-container stuff. Rather than a dev ask a server guy to make a vm, then join it to the domain, then move it to the right OU, then install anti-virus, etc. then ask a dba to install SQL serve

I wonder if said acquaintance had started with something like Tutanota or DeltaChat, if the user would have had a less frustrating experience. This sets aside that OP wrote that they didn't want to swap email providers, which I agree w

Perhaps, and a logical enough explanation. I had a wild hope that maybe Google was sick of their reputation for killing all the things, and they wanted to start the process of eschewing that reputation by hiring this guy to shine a light as

The closest I've been to using elm is elmish. As a completely random internet user evaluating what proglangs to look at next, I'm staying far, far away from elm itself.

The kicker for this is whether the user is in control of the amount of masking going on or not. If the app maker is in control, and the user can do nothing but use the app or not, then while the new defaults are better than nothing, I will

I had a setup like this. The IT Office which was its own room, then had 4 of those L cubicles in it. If you're reading this and you have this setup - don't take the bait to move to the newly remodeled building - it's a trap!

I like the idea of this phone (and the Fxtec Pro1 needs some competition before all of their pre-orderers die of old age), especially the clever way they keep the screen visible either in open or closed slider modes. Part of the thing I don

It was impressive how much grain was removed from the footage by the remaster process. Where did the grain come from? Did someone sit in the syndication studio and record the footage straight to VHS? Surely that wouldn't be on the orig

Someone else can give a much better comparison than me, this is just to get you started. Compared to the 80% use case of OpenVPN, Wireguard is: 1. Much less code. A few thousand lines of code vs lots more for OpenVPN 2. Speedier. WG does UD

Digital web privacy I don't dare try to list any beyond that. The fact of the matter is, I'm gullible when it comes to reading most HN comments, so I don't tend to recognize HN group-think until some other poster points it ou

Good to see the Goulet Pens links. I never found a reliable refillable rollerball to use with my FP ink, so I ended up using a Pilot Precise V7 refillable model from JetPens. I thought I was pretty clever. I never thought of refilling inkje

Hey there. Thanks for trying it. I will try a personal email rather than my work email and see if I get the same result on the same machine. Edit: It no longer recaptchas me, thanks!

Ok...lets say I am a robot for hypothetical reasons. So now a robot is on a mailing list. Why is that a bad thing? You may only want human eyeballs I suppose if you were somehow making a profit off knowing your audience was all humans a la

This looks great. I like how it is setup and I find the value it offers to be swell. I will however complain that I shouldn't have to recaptcha myself if I took the time to enter my email address, find the email, and click confirm for

I agree with the limitations of Markdown re: it being not great at doing some quality of life things like same-document references or embedding images as base64. I would enjoy those two features, can we add 'em? MD files would basicall
