I have seen people posting about keeping a journal instead of publicly blogging. I like the idea but hadn't found a good solution. Didn't want paper, and couldn't trust any $company.
Some recommended #DayOne but it's run by #automattic (the #wordpress ppl) which is melting down about #wpengine
I chose #tiddlywiki since it has an encryption option, and put it on a web server that only listens on a #wireguard interface.
@woltiv Obsidian is local files.
@cdevroe I haven't checked out Obsidian, does it do at-rest encryption?
@woltiv what's your threat model?
@billseitz That the journal would ever be stored on an unencrypted disk (or I suppose a disk that's encrypted that I don't control the encryption of)
@woltiv if your computer has disk encryption turned on, then why does your notes app need its own encryption? Because of synching to other devices?
@billseitz Yes, I'd like that extra layer so I know that it's encrypted wherever it might get stored
@woltiv Android does encrypted disk and there is an app to work on local tiddlywiki files (tiddloid) ... you don't need a server!
@tetrislife Thank you, but I don't have an Android phone rn.
@woltiv I am guessing iOS also does disk encryption?
