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

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?

@EpiphanicSynchronicity @kepano @ellane

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.

I wonder if Napier University computer library still has old copies of JOOP and Dr Dobbs. I loved the random stuff I’d find just thumbing through old issues.

@kevinrutherford @acf

I bet the Internet Archive has them.

Fibre installed to replace Bell. I should celebrating, instead my WiFi performance is noticeably worse around the whole house. Ex my office used to get ping: 4ms, 600Mbps down and 500Mbs up. Now I get 8, 300 and 158. The Adorn 854v6 modem isn't delivering a fraction of what it should.

Make it reversible, when we make it possible for someone to back out of something we're increasing the . The Agile community seems to have this one down pat. We tend to call it an experiment. We ask could we try this as an experiment for 4-6 weeks and gather data on the outcomes?
