       Obsidian doesn't use [[Open Source Licensing]]. It's effectively a non-commercial license, labeled as "free for personal use":

       13
       13
       +
       Later on, it clarifies that single users can use it under a no-charge license, even for work:

       +

       And finally, the [Catalyst license](https://help.obsidian.md/Licenses+and+payment/Catalyst+license) is a one-time charge to support development, with early access and insider builds.

       I started writing this as a blog post, before realizing that I can just use a journal entry for it!

       I didn't get much blog tinkering done over the holidays, other than just barely opening my code editor and making a new branch, deciding to delete my archive from this site, and see if [[Obsidian]] can work for what it's intended to be: a fancy Markdown editor!

       ## Obsidian

     

       10
       10
       +
       I've long "held out" against Obsidian. I tried it, it was fine, but after many years of rolling my own sites with [[Jekyll]] and [[Markdown]] it didn't feel like much of a difference.

     

       11
       11
       +
       

     

       12
       12
       +
       I _want_ the type of graph structure that [[LogSeq]] and other advanced systems do, with full block based systems, not just pages of Markdown on disk.

     

       13
       13
       +
       

     

       14
       14
       +
       But! Pages of Markdown on disk does accurately describe what I do when I'm working on this site, especially on desktop.

     

       15

       We're also using Obsidian at [[Fission]] as of December 2023, for our product planning process. We bought licenses for the whole team and are using git for [[multiplayer]].

       20
       20
       +
       I've gone back and forth on using [[IndieKit]]. The main thing it brings is a [[Micropub]] interface for mobile posting to this site. And with LogSeq not really working for me for that, and Noosphere not being quite ready, maybe I bring back journals here.

     

       21

       26
       26
       +
       I'm going to make a [[Cloudron]] page here, because I've been learning and experimenting and raving about it for 3 months or so.

     

       27
       27
       +
       

     

       28
       28
       +
       I had tried it some time ago and recently re-committed to it in a big way. I've got a personal install I call the [[Commons Computer]], installed it for [[CoSocial]], installed it for [[Fission]], and have an [[IPFS]] community one that isn't quite active yet.

     

       29
       29
       +
       

     

       30
       30
       +
       ## LogSeq (and Noosphere and Linkding and...)

     

       31
       31
       +
       What about my [notes site](https://notes.bmannconsulting.com) powered by [[LogSeq]]? Do I ... migrate all the notes back here? it's probably a good idea to have a separate notes site which is more ephemeral than this. But maybe everything is ephemeral???

     

       32
       32
       +
       

     

       33
       33
       +
       The other other thing I meant to do over the holidays was install the commandline [[Noosphere]] tooling. I'm in the beta, so have the [[Subconscious]] iOS app, and being able to perhaps use Noosphere for syncing between desktop and mobile would be good, without doing the [[Working Copy]] git client on my phone.

     

       34
       34
       +
       

     

       35
       35
       +
       And finally, I have a [shared bookmarking service Linkding installed on Commons Computer](https://commonscomputer.com/t/linkding-installed/25). You can browse [shared bookmarks here](https://links.commonscomputer.com/bookmarks/shared). Do I need another place to stash bookmarks? Part of the thinking of IndieKit and Journals on this site, is that notes-as-bookmarks / journals-with-links are a good place for them, and yet another service is just another spot for them to never get looked at again.

     

       36

       +
       

     

       37

       +
       ## Eleventy

     

       38
       38
       +
       One of the other solutions for how long it takes to build this site, and perhaps for more advanced "stuff", is perhaps to move it to [[Eleventy]]. But that's going to take a lot more coding and learning time, although I did [capture some Eleventy bookmarks](https://links.commonscomputer.com/bookmarks/shared?q=%23eleventy).

       This is very much a blogging about blogging (and Digital Garden) post. I've written many words in many places since the <a href="{% link _posts/blog/2021-03-14-moa-party.md %}" class="internal-link">last post</a>. Many of those words have been into LogSeq, which I flipped the switch on at the beginning of this year to run this whole site, including my (lapsed) tech [blog]({{ '/blog/' | relative_link }}), and long term [archive]({{ '/archive/' | relative_link }}).
