Selfhostable notes app that encrypts the files on Disk?
  • If you are storing manly on one device and are looking for a relatively "simple" solution for encryption at rest I would suggest to just encrypt the folder/directory/image the data are living in.

    Of course, this way you have to decrypt the data while you are using it. However, it separates the responsibility from the note taking app.

    This may or may not be a good solution for your use case, but it should be fast and easy to implement.

    I used to do this with some mildly sensitive data using a mac encrypted disk image with plain markdowns files inside. I accessed the files with vscode, but I don't see why it wouldn't work with Obsidian. It may just be a bit of a hassle to open the vault each time.

    GBA-Style JRPG 'Tako no Himitsu' Has Golden Sun And Terranigma Staff Involved
  • Yes, the headline feels very disingenuous. They are working with composers from those games... I don't feel they are going to have the same influence some game designers would have had.

    Is $140 for this folder I painted too much? It did take me 7 hours to paint (The inside is also painted but just speckled pink)
  • I think the price is fair from a labour point of view, however, I feel like there may be an issue of offer and demand.

    If you are not doing a specific commission (someone asked for it) who is going to buy it? I don't see many people spending that much money on an utilitarian object where the art, for how nice it is, isn't going to add much.

    You may find someone for which money is not an issue and want something "extravagant" on display in their office, like a lawyer or a doctor. But I think is a small niche.

    This also taking into consideration how sturdy the piece is. A regular folder can get damaged pretty quickly, which may put people off from buying it. Which may be doubly so if the art could get scratched or is unprotected.

    No more Elden Ring DLC after Shadow Of The Erdtree, says Souls boss Miyazaki
  • I mean, with the time they took for the first a segond dlc would have been released for the next console cycle. It would definitely be too many systems to support. /s

    Krita FTW
  • Not really both Krita and GIMP works mainly on raster images like Photoshop. Illustator is a vector graphic software. The closest foss relative of which would be Inkscape.

    The thing is, Photoshop was born as a photo manipulation tool but the drawing functionality has become an industry standard (I think mostly because they give free licenses to students). GIMP is a photo manipulation tool and Krita is a digital painting software. They have overlap but neither of them aim at replacing Photoshop as a whole. GIMP may be the closest match. Krita is more comparable to ClipStudio or Corel painter imo.

  • I'm not sure I agree. DoS2 mechanic are cool, but the combat becomes way to chaotic for my liking. Also you do one mistake and now half your party is dead and the other half is on fire.

  • I love starting in a tavern and having some run in in a panic screaming "UNDEEEEEEAD!!" and just drop a horde on the table. No time to think, no time to explain. The story starts later, right now you have to fight for your life together with whomever is able to hold at least a table leg.

    Mouse recommendations, anyone?
  • I've had a wired G502 since 6-8 years so far and it's holding up like a champ. The functionality is excellent, even if logitech software have given me some issues sometimes. It's still great. I especially love having a readily accessible modifier key.

    Using DNA hashing as a way to identify individuals?
  • Have you seen the film Gattaca? It somewhat explores the theme of DNA as identifier — as well as some interesting associated themes.

    The hashing idea works fine imo. However, depending on how advanced or "primitive* the technology would be, it could be pretty trivial to impersonate another person if the only id used is the DNA sequence. A sample of tissue is not dead, and it's — I don't want to say trivial but — not that hard to culture it and keep the cells alive.

    With our current tech it's possible to build layers of lab grown skin from the cells of a patient for transplants.

    Of course, this may not be a problem for world building. It could be an element intrinsic in it. After all people do steal identities. Or the tech could go deeper and use more information on the individual: DNA, the microbiote, neural patterns, blood vessel, fingerprints, all together.

    I think in the end depends also on the tone of the fiction.
