@sarah11918 ... too bad your about 200+ km away from saying hi.

I'm enjoying playing with Astro.

An Obsidian user on Medium recently lost an entire vault to data corruption because of an encryption plugin.

I’m very sorry this happened to them, and that they didn’t have a backup.

Truly, if our notes in Obsidian can’t function without features that exist only in that app, we’ve shackled ourselves to the wall of a prison without a door.

Always have an exit plan! Always backup your work! And never lock all your data with a key you don’t own.

@ellane help me see how this is better than OS filesystem level encryption?

How would Obsidian avoid the lost key problem the original person had?

I’ve done cryptography work in the past and I avoid using it like the plague. Many users put too much trust in the wrong places

@ellane I can't see how the encrypted notes are a good idea.

  • Nosey partner? Lock the device with a much better password. Or find a relationship based on trust.

FWIW my wife has my 1PW master password.

Today's life lesson, cryptography is very hard. Most people shouldn't use it outside of the OS level stuff.
