  • I was deeeep in the OneNote eco-system. I forced myself out of it and spent a lot of time finding the best alternative so I can save you some time: The answer is Obsidian.

    But to get to even 60% of what OneNote does, you need a fair amount of plugins, which lowers stability somewhat and, having tried the three biggest sync systems, you might as well go straight to paying for their sync. The self-hosted sync options do not work reliably.

    Running your own email server is easy.

    Getting your email accepted by other servers is hard.

    Hosting anything publicly requires a significant amount of hardening.

    Neither of those two tasks are easy or low maintenance. I self host almost everything and I’ve run my own mail server (with occasional rejection). It’s not worth it for me; I now use a commercial, paid provider for email.








  • My first computer was an Amstrad 664, with a green screen. I’m old. And I’ve been around Vim and EMacs from time to time and I love the console but for the love of god, since GUIs became the normal way to interact with computers, I just install micro now and have the same hotkeys across all the modes of interaction.

    Speed of typing really isn’t the defining productivity measure for code.

    Now I use VS Code in a GUI and micro on the console and that provides a reasonably consistent way of interacting with text.
