What do /g/entoomen use for their second brains? Obsidian, Anytype, Emacs Org-mode, something else? You do have one, right?
Why do you need a second brain? You barely use your first.

>>106584311fpbpop btfo
>>106584288obsidians the best for me
>>106584288I use real notebooks and txt files. Everything else is bloat.
>>106584288I started using obsidian. I don't buy into all the second brain stuff but it's nice to have all my notes and information in one place that I can easily search from my phone and computer.
>>106584288I don't know, it feels like a scam when you look at all those influencers promoting it on youtube, get yourself small physical diary/notebook. If you need everything stored to remember you might want to work on fixing your memory first.
>>106584288I like obsidian but damn that buzzword makes me cringe beyond belief
>>106584288Emacs org-roam
>>106584288I keep my notes as .md files inside of a HUGO project so if I even want a gui I just have hugo serve and I can customize it however I want via .css, plus immediate static site
>>106584288I use Ulysses even though its linking only now got reasonableTrello for coordinating house fix-upsI also have a bunch of Obsidian vaults, one per game, for in-game notes like how many lynel hindquarters I need to get a big-titty fairy to hug me and upgrade my armorOmniFocus for shopping lists and stuff like “flush the tankless water heater every year” and “replace the UPS batteries every three years”>>106586695basedI had a diary like that>>106584311Second brain is better at remembering stuff like
>>106586711…remembering stuff like when the house’s roof was last redone and that the next roof will have to totally replace all the layers and I can’t get away with just putting another layer on top
>>106584288org-roam>>>/g/lisp
Emacs Org Mode
>>106584288>second brainHoly memespeak.If you mean "note taking app", I like using Obsidian to write notes on things I needed to research in the past.
>>106584288I use Obsidian and Anytype inside of Org-mode, plus Anki and a liberal sprinkling of TED talks.
>>106584288Checked
>>106584288I just leave open text buffers in my favorite text editor and write structured notes in markdown. If I need to sort a lot of information I just stick it in devonthink or whatever wiki I happen to be using at the time.
>>106584288obsidians the best because of the plugin ecosystem and how its basically just electron so its web development tier easy to make your own shit. but thats also dangerous if you dont have some security in place like firejailing it. always keep that in mind with these plugins you install. make sure you check the github issues recently to look for anything strange, and dont automatically update. generally the really popular ones that have more than one contributor are okay
>>106593224they have a big list published herehttps://obsidian.md/pluginsi just recently got back into obsidian so i dont know the good ones anymore. i assume theres a well made LLM stuff now because when i was using it, years ago, there was already like 30 LLM plugins and some were already quite good back then
>>106593262im probably interested the most in one that runs a webserver for each vault, then you can use some browser scripts or what not to easily paste shit into, access stuff, or manage notes, via a webserver API
>>106584288My second brain is mousepad. I swear it's some kind of alien note-taking technology. You write a note with it so you don't forget it and then you don't forget it. You don't even have to read the note. And it magically connects to other things inside your first brain.
>>106593282your logical fallacy is thinking i dont also use, kate (my editor), nano (sudo edits), featherpad (my mousepad) and then obsidianyoure just being lazy, yes it works to have notes scattered around everywhere but its more efficient having them all in one place, categorized in a system, searchable, taggable. cope about it
>>106593292Your logical fallacy is thinking that you're thinking.
Why are these retards using and promoting proprietary software? Get the fuck out of here tourists

>>106584288Hey /g/, seeing some second mind talk, just wanted to drop a few things that made Obsidian actually usable for me.Reader Mode vs. Source Mode:>Default to Reader for viewing, Source for new notes.>Set a hotkey to toggle between 'em. Source for writing, Reader for not getting triggered by markdown syntax. Avoids that jerky back-and-forth shit.Essential Hotkeys:>`Move line up/down` – obvious but critical.>Remap `Ctrl+1-6` to header levels. Trust me.>Find a `Delete paragraph` hotkey. Fast line removal.Bookmarks > Folders:>Don't waste time deep nesting notes. It's autistic and slow.>Use `Ctrl+D` to bookmark notes you're actively using. You can bookmark hashtags too.>Access with `Ctrl+B`. It's like browser bookmarks but for your brain dump. Lets you quickly filter out the shit you don't need right now.Thank me later, anons.
>>106594581ctrl+L>toggle todo list statectrl+N>new notectrl+T>new split window to the rightctrl+shift+N>new folder
>>106594702>ctrl+N >ctrl+Tmight switch those upctrl+T is better for "new tab" while ctrl+N is better for "new window" even though ill use it for a split
>>106584288I can virtualize as many nested brains as I need.
why do you use obsidian?it's proprietary.>inb4 it's just markdown viewerthen what's the point of making it proprietary and close the source code?some fuckery is going on there
I use a single piece of paper.
>>106595318>then what's the point of making it proprietary and close the source code?because they want to make money, they make money because normies dont know how to use github to sync their notes. they charge them money to do it, and they also do cool stuff like making static websites for them and hosting it for them so they can share their vaults with the public. its cool and as you saw with the bear blog example, if they made it open source theyd just have jeets replicating their shit and charging lower. their addons ecosystem is a big draw too and all that effort and nurturing they put into their community would just be used by the copycat who contributed nothing. this way their devs can earn a living as human beings not working for a corpo.its sad it comes to this in this thread where we're talking about notes.
>>106584288It's impossible to adapt my mind to shit like this. My notes are linear, I just write down ideas. I can't adapt myself to this sort of network neuronal thinking idk even how to call itso to answer your question, notepad
>>106584288I use Emacs with org-mode for a decade by now. The more you know about these two, the more you can do with them. But the learning curve is indefinite, although is shouldn't be hard to start with. I often try other solutions, but always comeback to Emacs. It's just how it is.
>>106593292Just say you're on the spectrum faggot
>>106595542> because they want to make money, they make money because normies dont know how to use github to sync their notes. they charge them money to do it, and they also do cool stuff like making static websites for them and hosting it for them so they can share their vaults with the public. It's still possible to do it while keeping the code open. Normies won't know how to set up their own obsidian sync instance for example.
Wow anon, how come you get to have two (2) note taking threads?>>106595037 (me)>>106595375Yeah, as I said I can use fzf and grep (or ag in my case) to search through my notes using either the metadata in the filenames or the content inside the files themselves. I use tags sometimes, which can be useful for filtering specific notes. The namescheme is heavily inspired by Denote, with some tweaks, and I like it because it makes notes organize themselves chronologically, I've never been a fan of the zettelkasten approach.
>>106584288Emacs orgrr since it doesn't require a database like org-roam and so I can sync it to my phone via syncthing to access my wiki through logseq. Only issue is logseq is a slow piece of shit but that may just be because I use graphene idk
An actual notebook. I go out to eat in the 'real world' and brainstorm.
>>106596766yeah its good not because you went outside but because youre getting fresh air maybe smiling at people, exercise. i do that too but i can write on anything, a napkin i have, a notebook in my pocket i remembered to bring, some paper i ask someone for at a shop. then i plop and refine the ideas into notes on the computer
>>106584311Kekd checkd
>>106584288bump!
>>106584288the second brain thing is a meme from like 10 years ago.write things down you need to reference later, like some CLI command you're likely to forget.
>>106586695that sounds pretty neat, any screens?
>>106584288i only want to use it for specific large projects. like for a game where i compile all design and story info. anything particularly good for that? i would give org-roam a good try but i just can't into keyboard-centric.
