  • Logseq to Obsidian.

    Logseq’s markdown is weird and not standard. Everything is indented and in a list, even headings. I love me some open source, but this is a hard no.

    Open your logseq files in a plain text editor and compare with the standard. I spend much of my time editing them back to Markdown.

    Syncing logseq is easy on Syncthing. The only issue being that one has to watch out for conflicts by not editing one on one instance before the other sends it/it is received, but that’s a sync issue not Logseq.


  • I’m not criticising you. I cannot validity criticise you, even if I was so inclined (I’m not), because I cannot proficiently grasp the subject matter. I would like to understand, NOT criticise. You’ve written an engaging piece which is opaque to me; apparently a contradiction. Hopefully I’ve rephrased that enough times to get across that no criticism is intended. 😁

    I don’t know the product names. I don’t tend to be focused on product names because they come and go. Your first message didn’t help me.

    Your last precis is just what I needed. Ideal. Thank-you. I now know what you’re trying to achieve.







  • Wow! That’s unexpected, because of the memory limitation. I have a Pi3 with Fedora IoT with a target on its back for a Home Assistant container. (I see another comment here notes 400MB of memory use so it seems much smaller than I expected.)

    Could I ask how many devices it’s dealing with, or because I’m not running Home Assistant yet, whether routine number/complexity is a better metric? (That question went bad somewhere, excuse me.)


  • UniFi seem to have dabbled with 2.5 GBE briefly and then jumped to 10. I’m guessing that 10 will be the way to go.

    You’re looking at cat 6A patch leads rather than 7. 7 requires different but RJ45 compatible connectors, I believe. Yes, I’m still trying to understand what the difference is.

    I have a 2.5G router, the CG Max. A 1 G switch (waiting for a reasonably priced 10 G) and a 10 G WAP. It’s a bit of a mess!








  • systemd seems to like mounting stuff on /media. However, I would consult the Linux filesystem hierarchy documents around (eg. Wikipedia and then follow the references) for the most compatible place.

    /srv /mnt tend to suggest themselves. /home is for your personal stuff not shared user wide stuff.

    Don’t put stuff in local directories, leave it in a NAS location and mount it where you need it using fstab or auto/mount units and the appropriate filesystem. Maybe I’ve misunderstood something you wrote to think of this last bit.




  • Syncthing is fast. I have an IPv6 setup too which seems to help.

    I have my downloads directory on my desktop linked to a downloads directory on my Android; you can’t link to the real Android downloads directory anymore so I use another.

    When the file is removed from the desktop downloads directory it disappears from mobile.

    I tried using Bluetooth between them but it’s more fiddly than Syncthing with my config. Switch Bluetooth on on desktop, connect to desktop, send file, disconnect, move file. Whereas Syncthing is always on.

    However, before I started using Obsidian notes I used to transfer URLs using Signal’s Note-to-self thing. Signal on both desktop and mobile.

    Obviously, I sync between mobile and desktop Obsidian using Syncthing.
