I stumbled on vimwiki years ago and I’ve never found anything that meets my needs better. You can use markdown, link to things, etc. I use git to help manage versions and track changes, but I truly treat it like a wiki where it’s constantly updated and live.

You can easily publish to html too if that’s your thing.

As for searching and other stuff, I use telescope (part of neovim) and grep and other coreutils and bash scripts to do the things I need to do with my stuff. For example I have a vim keyboard that calls a script that greps through my diary notes for “to do” items then puts them in one file for me. But they all link back to the file they reference. So I can quickly see my to do items and jump to that specific note to work out it or close it out.

It’s all text files; no databases or special formats.

If you use md it’s interoperable with a myriad of other apps and tools too.

My blog, for example is a Hugo blog so any personal note that I want to make into a blog post is a ‘cp’ away from publishing.

No one is fucking “fleeing”.

No one is going downtown on Monday and maybe people are heading out of town to avoid the “crowds”. But people aren’t “fleeing” shit any more than they “flee” on the 4th of July or Memorial Day.

DC residents have dealt with shit like this for forever.

This is shit journalism and a trash headline.

It’s literally all bans on government devices. Which is totally reasonable. Ban it from govt devices.

I gotta say that seemed pretty performative considering apple was obviously already moving that way with usb-c on all their devices.
