I personally haven’t dug that deep into how to protect the information, purely because the information for myself wasn’t too sensitive… I liked that the files are created in markdown and saved on your own system from a privacy standpoint because I was think they were more privacy with me, locally, rather than someone else’s server.
I’ve just had a look at the plugins now and there’s one called Meld Encrypt which has over 36,000 downloads, this seems to allow you to create encrypted notes. https://cdn.nostr.build/i/b991a9703b17510a66d4acae0507cd582d8be7dcd732b67f93f6e088b0597d83.jpg https://cdn.nostr.build/i/4ef3fce2d4dd14d5731a19403883dd308ca23df0c9884dd7c4e94053c9431943.jpg

I really really like Obsidian and have used it for years purely down to the simplicity of it and I would really recommend it… it comes across very basic at the start but the more you use it, the more it grows as well as the customisation of it.. I have moved over to TanaOS beta for the past couple of months though only to give it a try!

THE OBSTACLE IS THE WAY
“While it’s true that someone can impede our actions, they can’t impede our intentions and our attitudes, which have the power of being conditional and adaptable. For the mind adapts and converts any obstacle to its action into a means of achieving it. That which is an impediment to action is turned to advance action. The obstacle on the path becomes the way.”

NO SHAME IN NEEDING HELP
“Don’t be ashamed of needing help. You have a duty to fulfill just like a soldier on the wall of battle. So what if you are injured and can’t climb up without another soldier’s help?”

TRY THE OTHER HANDLE
“Every event has two handles—one by which it can be carried, and one by which it can’t. If your brother does you wrong, don’t grab it by his wronging, because this is the handle incapable of lifting it. Instead, use the other—that he is your brother, that you were raised together, and then you will have hold of the handle that carries.”

PLATO’S VIEW
“How beautifully Plato put it. Whenever you want to talk about people, it’s best to take a bird’s-eye view and see everything all at once—of gatherings, armies, farms, weddings and divorces, births and deaths, noisy courtrooms or silent spaces, every foreign people, holidays, memorials, markets—all blended together and arranged in a pairing of opposites.”

QUALITY OVER QUANTITY
“What’s the point of having countless books and libraries, whose titles could hardly be read through in a lifetime. The learner is not taught, but burdened by the sheer volume, and it’s better to plant the seeds of a few authors than to be scattered about by many.”

LEARN, PRACTICE, TRAIN
“That’s why the philosophers warn us not to be satisfied with mere learning, but to add practice and then training. For as time passes we forget what we learned and end up doing the opposite, and hold opinions the opposite of what we should.”

“Show me someone sick and happy, in danger and happy, dying and happy, exiled and happy, disgraced and happy. Show me! By God, how much I’d like to see a Stoic. But since you can’t show me someone that perfectly formed, at least show me someone actively forming themselves so, inclined in this way. . . . Show me!”

THE CHAIN METHOD
“If you don’t wish to be a hot-head, don’t feed your habit. Try as a first step to remain calm and count the days you haven’t been angry. I used to be angry every day, now every other day, then every third or fourth . . . if you make it as far as 30 days, thank God! For habit is first weakened and then obliterated. When you can say ‘I didn’t lose my temper today, or the next day, or for three or four months, but kept my cool under provocation,’ you will know you are in better health.”

Decent explanation / theory of the high fees recently by #[0] 👏
Disclaimer, I am very un-technical and is something I am working on so feel free to educate if I have shit wrong.
I selfishly think that ordinals are clogging up the mempool, but not entirely against them.
If they were more like lightning and the bulk of their transactions were able to be done off chain then every so often an onchain transaction was broadcasted, I feel ordinals would be better for the space.
But, unfortunately at the moment, I feel that they are hindering and getting in the way of people who actually NEED to use #bitcoin on a daily basis.
I am lucky, or unlucky depending on how you want to look at it, that I am able to get by using fiat for my day to day usage and use #bitcoin more as savings or future store of value.

RIGHTEOUSNESS IS BEAUTIFUL
“Then what makes a beautiful human being? Isn’t it the presence of human excellence? Young friend, if you wish to be beautiful, then work diligently at human excellence. And what is that? Observe those whom you praise without prejudice. The just or the unjust? The just. The even-tempered or the undisciplined? The even-tempered. The self- controlled or the uncontrolled? The self-controlled. In making yourself that kind of person, you will become beautiful—but to the extent you ignore these qualities, you’ll be ugly, even if you use every trick in the book to appear beautiful.”

WHAT IS IN KEEPING WITH YOUR CHARACTER?
“Just as what is considered rational or irrational differs for each person, in the same way what is good or evil and useful or useless differs for each person. This is why we need education, so that we might learn how to adjust our preconceived notions of the rational and irrational in harmony with nature. In sorting this out, we don’t simply rely on our estimate of the value of external things, but also apply the rule of what is in keeping with one’s character.”
