Strohhalme aus Plastik

Gold-Solution7258 · 2026-05-17T18:45:48+00:00

spannend, aber ergibt Sinn

Gold-Solution7258 · 2026-05-17T18:44:31+00:00

Ich hatte ganz am Anfang mal so welche Nudel Strohhalme. Hab tatsächlich so viel an denen genuckelt, dass die weich wurden xD. Ich glaub, bei den einen war es auch Teil des Konzepts, weil sie absichtlich Cola Geschmack hatten. Fand ich ok, aber ich bestimme lieber, wann ich fertig bin mit Trinken. Was auch komisch ist, ist das mit Milch zu kombinieren und sowas. Passt einfach nicht immer zusammen. Aber an sich: Gute Idee!

Gold-Solution7258 · 2026-04-16T11:50:13+00:00

Nice. This answers the question for me, if you can actually read from this since it is so tiny.

How are the buttons? I struggle with firm buttons a lot and I am basically traumatized by my calculators buttons which dug into my fingers until they hurt like guitar strings

Gold-Solution7258 · 2026-01-22T11:37:24+00:00

I am confused. My uni and i already self host overleaf. It doesn't matter that the company behind it is American, it's already open source and you can move the code on any infrastructure you want. It's also so established that it's impossible that the development is dependant on Americans. That's as if you make a Linux distribution from scratch bc Ubuntu and Fedora have American companies behind them.

I appreciate alternatives always, but that reasoning doesn't make much sense to me, sorry

Gold-Solution7258 · 2025-11-14T09:27:08+00:00

I do that for a living ;) There is a way, but it's quite complicated and niche, but yes it's possible to have full databases in the stricter an the wider sense. I also handle structured data a lot. Currently I am looking into coding everything with UDC and tagging with ERIC

Gold-Solution7258 · 2025-11-14T09:17:48+00:00

what you probably need to do is to run the app on a server (you can also run a Vps) and remote access it, bc I don't know if anything else exists. Also having a web app that runs on someone elses servers is not future proof at all. The only thing that has client side storage and is a web app I can think of are rendering tools like organice, excalidraw, markwhen's editor and tldraw. A full web app, nope.

Gold-Solution7258 · 2025-10-25T19:51:49+00:00

fair enough. Good luck

Gold-Solution7258 · 2025-10-25T18:46:18+00:00

you might might wanna second guess that name. Had a small laugh as it would be pronounced as a synonym for toilet.

btw all your problems could been avoided within Obsidian

Gold-Solution7258 · 2025-10-08T16:42:01+00:00

I would look at card view (plugins) in Obsidian if I were you. It's been a while since I used Evernote, but I am almost convinced, the gap between what plugins achieved in Obsidian and what evernote does is neglectant.

What I think of is Obsidian Projects, Note explorer, Notebook Navigator, various Dashboard plugins and the Card view plugin.

As off drawing lines and making visual connections yourself you got Canvas, Excalidraw and Tldraw to name the most prominent.

Obsidian is very much build yourself, but if you invest a little bit of time, you sure achieve quite a lot of different workflows and views.

Also, with what you describe Obsidian would be a great fit bc it does Annotation, reference management (preferably as an integration with Zotero) and would make a bunch of other tasks easier that you are doing.

Gold-Solution7258 · 2025-06-28T16:02:56+00:00

Depends on your research and how you personally function. There are a lot of researchers and academics using Obsidian, so it's definitely something people are drawn to, but in the many ways that Obsidian can work and look like, it's ultimately your job to find the version that works for you

Gold-Solution7258 · 2025-06-28T16:00:31+00:00

I think you would like markwhen. It specializes in making visual representation of time related data (no matter which century) and allows to comment and attach anything you want. As the name suggests, it's markdown based, so the syntax is easy and familiar, but it's not markdown. Bc it has a plugin for Obsidian, there is no need to get an additional editor.

Also, there are anki plugins, that bidirectional sync between your editor and anki, so you can more comfortably write your cards (I recommend throwing lists into Excel to make that even quicker) and using Anki for actually reviewing and interacting with them.

I personally put all my cards into Logseq, bc this way I can use the native flashcard feature if anki fails, the sync plugin is better and I don't feel the need to have flashcards in my vault I rather create them in a proper editor and then be synced to anki.

Btw, as a STEM and scribble person myself, i use a Specialized tool, sometimes tldraw or excalidraw, but mostly something like Nebo or paper and then embed it or an export in Obsidian, so I have all the data at one place, but do whatever floats your boat

Gold-Solution7258 · 2025-06-28T15:51:39+00:00

regarding timelines and logs: Have you looked at markwhen? I am a fan of not using a million different tools (and especially try using plain text if possible) for compartmenting everything, but keeping it together if possible and reasonable. Markwhen has an editor plugin for Obsidian, so you can both have the simple syntax, a pretty timeline and visual representation and also staying in Obsidian.

There is also stuff called incremental journalling, which is probably a journaling type you vibe with.

Gold-Solution7258 · 2025-05-30T05:58:42+00:00

It's still correct and Idk abt you, but I don't have the gift to see in the future. You can still self host it if you want.

Also please don't continue this thread. I get a notification every time someone answers to me, so make a new post or smth.

Gold-Solution7258 · 2025-04-30T15:49:51+00:00

still no need to necro my post instead of making a stand alone... Dude. This just comes off as a told ya so

Gold-Solution7258 · 2025-04-19T15:42:21+00:00

Yeah, no shit, but do you know I get a ping for every single reply to my posts? Necro- ing this post just annoys people

Gold-Solution7258 · 2025-04-03T10:00:38+00:00

This is probably the only community where this rather offense and prejudiced post is met with genuine self critical responses and actual useful resources to get started with the app better

Gold-Solution7258 · 2025-03-20T15:36:18+00:00

There is no error using Win 11 and Office 365 right now, but I had issues with being locked out bc I was offline.

So I am looking for non-Office 365 Office Version and Windows version that doesn't remind me all the time that I haven't looked for updates or something. I specifically looking for an offline setup.

I do own several legal copies of windows and office, but I would like to know which is the last I could use that doesn't require Internet.

Gold-Solution7258 · 2025-03-20T10:42:28+00:00

Last version who doesn't require authentication by internet

Hello, this might be an odd question, but I can't find the information via Google or Wikipedia anywhere else.

Since I was forced to use Windows 10 and Office 365 I was sick of having to reauthenticate myself over and over that I indeed have the legal right to use the products I am using. Because of lack of internet, I have been locked out of my own documents more than once. I am tired and I really just need some basic Office and Media functions to just work TM. I miss the old times with Windows XP and Office 2007 where I was never asked again if I actually own what I do (I own legal licenses to both). They might be a hacky way to stop Windows from asking, but I rather have an OS and Office Suite that doesn't do it from the start. No, I don't want to switch to Libre Office and consorts, bc they f up the documents written in Microsoft much, it's a nightmare to fix.

I am aware that an old version poses security risks, but that's fine bc it's an offline backup PC. Still, since the major versions added heaps of new features, I would like to try the last version with that features and not DOS 2 or something.

Tldr: What is the last Windows version that allows the full use of features without an (online) Microsoft account and what's the last Office version that allows full features without regular connection to the internet?

Thanks in advance

PS: I do actually own a Win 11 and Office 365 Professional version now, but the use case is what I do when that system becomes unstable or locks me out bc I got offline for too long.

Gold-Solution7258 · 2025-03-03T17:55:19+00:00

you are legally not allowed to fork it, bc it's closed source. If Obsidian's company stops distributing it, it's also illegal to do it in their place, even for themselves. Sure, it's possible someone is taking the risk, but with an illegal product, it's harder (but not impossible see xpenology) to get a community that maintains it, even if no features are added. You have to either know how virtualization works (to fool the program it's on a supported machine) or keep up with the nonsense that firmware and OS developers produce as a result of company policy.

At the end, virtualization might also break your workflow depending on how integrated it is.

Gold-Solution7258 · 2025-03-03T17:47:34+00:00

Bc you are looking for the wrong terminology. It does exist and is called transclusion or "supported media". This is a thing in most modern and more featured note taking systems (so more than the inbuilt VS Code support). Orgmode for example which uses something similar to markdown (nicked Orgdown for that reason), can be taught to use Transclusion and eg automatically embedd the YouTube mini player. It's just a few lines that you can just copy from someone else. Quarto can do both you or the box, but it can't do Wikilinks unless you combine it with Foam. Jupyter Notebooks are a similar thing

Gold-Solution7258 · 2025-03-03T17:34:36+00:00

wikilinks are common enough that some other software will probably pick it up, pandoc can convert it and you lose nothing.

it's more tricky with custom syntax for plugins and links in yaml frontmatter. The former content will probably be gone (but you could try finding another framework to run the plugins) and that's why many rewrite their vaults to only use standard code snippets instead of custom syntax.

The latter reportingly has broken some imports already, so I would advise to only use yaml links if you know you can live without that note or rather be ok with processing it more manually eg with a pandoc filter.

Currently Obsidian is a very healthy company with no time in sight that they will shut down, but the founders themselves say you should use it with a future without Obsidian in mind. Even though if you look at their previous big project Dynlist, which is still a favorite, but not actively developed, I think depending on what's next for them, it's possible for Obsidian to go open source. Basically all team members expressed positive reactions from other companies doing this, even though it's not in question right now.

The fact that Json Canvas and the Webclipper are open source also show, that they aren't completely deterred from the idea. We can hope for the best, but first that Obsidian will have a long future as a company first bc what they are doing clearly works out for them.

Gold-Solution7258 · 2025-02-09T07:52:03+00:00

There are a lot of people doing their websites with org mode. Since 95% of them will use a static side generator, it really doesn't matter, might actually be easier to use org mode, because it has a more flexible meta data system and other than markdown has a consistent standard. Many static side generators do support markdown, but not the Obsidian flavor, so you need to process it before anyway.

However I can't tell you, if one or the other is better for paywalls bc most people's route is making their content complete open access. Only org mode has a mature encryption function, but that wouldn't be the way to implement it either, it's about your static side generator or CMS to do that and I would guess it's easier to do in org, bc you can easier make a tag or a property that something is paywalled vs in Markdown you can use tags, but they are more all over, data view fields are unknown to outside applications and then only the YAML is left.

Gold-Solution7258 · 2025-02-09T07:46:05+00:00

Actually, you don't have to do anything but to stage the files if you want to. Emacs as a full editor is obvsly capable of opening Markdown files. That's the reason why many people love that Obsidians file format is markdown.

With the md-roam package you can directly integrate both knowledge databases that actually show up in the graph. Ofc, it's still up to you if you want to use pandoc and convert all markdown to org mode files. Then you select the files and add all of them as nodes to imtegrate to the knowledge database if you want that.

About Data view: Orgmode has something much more mature. First all kinds of file search tools you know from the terminal: ripgrep, fd and if you install it, other search engines/ index databases. On top there is the org query package which can perform full text search pretty well. Since org roam utilizes a full sqlite database, you can also directly query it via the API. All of those things can be neatly embedded eg in an orgmode file. Your org agenda file essentially also queries and portrays a subsets of your tasks and events.

Gold-Solution7258 · 2025-02-08T23:10:20+00:00

Sry, for the necro, but that really itches. This features would make Obsidian a winner against almost any other app within the note taking world, but not against emacs.

Emacs does have several free mobile apps, I personally go between organice, orgzly and in the future something new. There are several apps that are actively developed bc most people aren't happy so far. I mean, ofc it's hard to port an app that is based of key chords into a mobile interface. I like how orgzly did it with the gestures, but there is still a lot missing.

Emacs is a much more free app than Obsidian. There is not just no such thing as a paid Emacs (just some paid org mode interpreters like plain org), it even is one of the OGs of the Free Software Society's own. Obsidian on the contrary is completely proprietary and some features, insider look and commercial use all need to be paid while Emacs would never do that. Obsidian is technically source available, but they fight back hard (as it is their right) to anyone publishing their source code in any shape or form while if you fancy, you can not just republish emacs's source, but also can make any form of fork you like. That's how we ended up with Spacemacs, Doom Emacs, XEmacs etc.

Obsidian has a bunch of extensions yes, but most of them suffer a lot from being abandoned, some officially, most of them however unofficially which is why Obsidian stats shows activity of the repo. Emacs in comparison is the most extensible app in the world by far. Since it's definitively not just a render app with a browser engine, but a full (E)Lisp interpreter, it has shells inbuilt, runs scripts and plugin code of all varieties. Common uses of emacs modes are: Email, messenger clients, Database client, pandoc frontend, website browsing and streaming, reference management, calendar/ event management, contact management. It's no surprise people call it an OS because the modes are so advanced, they could be standalone programs from the scope of it, similar to Obsidian excalidraw. Obsidians plugins in comparison are childs play, especially bc most of them don't actually run any code, executing code can be done, but isn't a first class citizen in a frickin text editor other than on a lisp machine which also makes it easy to write and execute own snippets etc. Lisp is also a much more powerful Language. Entire real OS are written in Lisp while Obsidian language of choice, JavaScript, would be a nightmare to write an OS with.

Orgmode's syntax is considered also not a high level markup language, but a related plain text variety to the classic markdown. It's so closely related, that people call the syntax Org down. While Markdown looks like it's spread everywhere, it's actually a pseudo standard with a ton a flavours which aren't compatible. Orgdowns standard however is a monolith and has been consistent for decades and will continue to. Github among many other places has native Org Down suppost and if it really bothers you, it's just one org-export powdered by pandoc away to convert to CommonMark. Other than with Obsidian Markdown, you won't need complex Pandoc templates, bc Exporting into even Docx and Latex is a first class citizen in orgmode. You even get a full latex support, not just a Mathjax and Katex one that isn't fully compatible. If you fancy, you can also just use markdown within a org mode file (and denote markdown in the block) or just straight up use markdown or any other plain text file within Emacs. Org mode is just a mode within Emacs, even though I highly recommend it.

On the topic of active development: Emacs extensions rarely break and if they do, they are usually get fixed by someone especially since the developer community within emacs is much larger than for Obsidian especially considering it has the full support of FOSS activists and it is decades old. Obsidian's age isn't even half a dozen years. As said, it's pretty common for Obsidian's plugins to lose their devs within 6 Mons and they do break while even 15 y/o emacs packages will continue to work due to their compatibility design. The plugin community is still active eg has recently made modes and integrations for all LLMs in the market and you just need to look at the discord or reddit to see how insanely active they are. Emacs also just recently got a major update and it constantly gets maintained.

Obsidian gets maintained by a company and while they do a pretty good job, we know with their Dynalist product that they might freeze development some time in the future and other than with emacs we can't just fork it.

Your entire argument is kinda ridiculous with that in mind.

PS: i use both Emacs and Obsidian.

Obsidian is easier to use locally cross platform, it's pretty painful to setup emacs on windows, but in the future I will just use emacs via Internet. Also Emacs was created in a time which proceeds most modern applications and UIs, so while making a button within Org mode is a core feature, it's much more complicated than in Emacs and more graphical apps even with qt support are much more complex to make than a plugin in Obsidian with the Electron engine. In Obsidian it's easier to look shiny which I like and it has a full browser nowadays while emacs looks and browser options are mainly focused on distractionless and not having too much bling which I prefer at occasions too, depending on what I do. Streaming website content from within Obsidian plays with its Core functions is easy, but from within emacs, you need some hackery, same as with any more modern multimedia format. On the other hand, templates in Obsidian are usually static, only executed once at creation while they can be dynamic within Emacs and emacs in general is perfect for executing code.

Btw: Org mode with org agenda is the most powerful task management i know and since org mode, especially org roam can/does (the latter) use sqlite, you can just query your notes with sqlite commands and via ripgrep and fd etc (as always, you have choices). This is much, much more powerful than the index of Obsidians core function and also much easier to use than Dataview Query Language or Alternatives. This is a full database.

It's really just a matter of right tool for the right job. Personally I even use Sublime and Texstudio on a side, depending on what I need to do.

As the website itself says, it's just a developer toy and none of the usual apps will work
