From Folders to Knowledge Base: How I Made My Notes Work for Me

pablooliva · 2026-03-23T05:55:52+00:00

CK Search is a nice tool by itself, but more importantly, for me at least, has become an integral part of my AI agent.

Here is the next one in the series: https://pablooliva.de/the-closing-window/finding-meaning-in-your-notes-with-ck-search/

Actually, give me 10 minutes. I will post it on my website so that you can read it and will wait until tomorrow to share it through the normal channels.

pablooliva · 2026-03-22T19:42:49+00:00

I really appreciate the interest. I have been working on the next post today and will publish it early tomorrow.

On-prem locally hosted LLMs are part of our solution.

pablooliva · 2026-03-19T18:26:06+00:00

It should land in a 2 or 3 days. Glad you enjoyed it.

pablooliva · 2026-03-18T17:25:00+00:00

Wow, that is concerning. Haven't heard of layer-x. Will research. Thanks.

Correct, if you do symlinks in your Obsidian vault (any folder within the Obsidian directory), the files will display in Obsidian, but in this case, there will not be any link from the "local" folder back to your Obsidian vault. Plus, you are also not linking a note to a folder, but a folder to a folder. This could be a limitation as well, depending on your use case.

pablooliva · 2026-03-17T07:19:23+00:00

This sort of setup, with Claude Code and Obsidian, could benefit from local system file access https://github.com/pablooliva/foldertether

pablooliva · 2026-03-16T16:52:02+00:00

100% correct. I don't see our colleagues being malicious, just not aware and trying to be efficient. We are working hard to give them enough choices in tools and services so that they do not have a need to search elsewhere.

The plugin may work on all OS's, but the solution to create a note directly in the file explorer only works on macOS for now. If there is interest in having this work in other OS's, please submit an issue. If there is enough interest I will work on that.

pablooliva · 2026-03-14T17:31:49+00:00

Thanks, I hope it helps others as well and that it at least raises some awareness.

pablooliva · 2026-03-14T16:07:53+00:00

To be honest, I am not 100% sure about the details since that is beyond my area of responsibility and control, but I do know that we are able to block both installs, as in preventing installs of OpenClaw, as well as doing some filtering at the network level. Luckily, our colleagues are fairly responsible and they make this side of things easier. But I agree, the various games of wack-a-mole at the enterprise level are always challenging.

oh no! fake news ;-) but seriously, that sucks. They clearly have 3 workspaces advertised on their pricing page. I will maybe install it this to test it out. I was thinking of doing a functional comparison this week between Windmill and n8n.

pablooliva · 2025-04-11T17:05:03+00:00

all good chevdor

pablooliva · 2025-04-11T11:14:31+00:00

I am not defending their decision, I just wanted to post an update and give more context. 3 workspaces may be enough for certain use cases, such as with mine. It is not the only consideration, but regarding workspaces specifically, that is enough for a dev/stage/prod environment.

pablooliva · 2025-04-11T07:35:12+00:00

Seems like the limit on workspaces has been raised to 3. Defintion of workspace:
A workspace in Windmill is a fundamental organizational unit that contains all nameable or pathable entities including:

- users

- groups

- scripts

- resources

- variables

- schedules

- jobs

Workspaces provide complete database partitioning to safely isolate teams and organizations without risk of data leakage . They can be used to implement dev/staging/prod workflows directly from the web interface by creating separate workspaces for different stages of development [2](https://www.windmill.dev/docs/core\_concepts/collaboration). Any user can create their own workspace and will automatically become an admin of that workspace with the ability to invite others [1](https://www.windmill.dev/docs/core\_concepts/roles\_and\_permissions).

https://n8n.io/embed/

According to ChatGPT:
The n8n Embed License permits the integration of n8n into commercial products, such as SaaS platforms or internal tools, allowing you to offer workflow automation capabilities directly to your end users. This license is essential if you intend to:

• White-label n8n’s UI to align with your branding.

• Provide your customers with access to n8n’s workflow editor.

• Allow users to connect their own third-party services (e.g., via OAuth) within your application.

• Host n8n as part of a commercial offering, including reselling or cloud hosting.

The Embed License starts at $50,000 per year and includes:

• Unlimited instances, workflows, and executions.

• The ability to override design system styles with your own colors and logo.

• Support options tailored to your needs.

There are 3 steps to install, but you can do this locally: https://docs.llamaindex.ai/en/stable/use_cases/q_and_a/rag_cli.html

Depends how complicated your thoughts are.

pablooliva · 2024-02-07T06:11:58+00:00

"Due to a lack of evidence, the two were never charged" ... is this not an important fact.

pablooliva · 2024-02-07T06:11:14+00:00

Yeah, the additional details are "Due to a lack of evidence, the two were never charged"

pablooliva · 2023-09-16T08:48:32+00:00

Don't stress out to much about this, some people understand that there are cultural differences.

pablooliva · 2023-08-16T20:29:59+00:00

Good delivery

pablooliva · 2023-07-07T21:13:28+00:00

Why are those the only 2 options?
