    I don't sync things, but admittedly it's mostly because despite being $current_year that's just too much of a pain, even for computing enthusiasts. If you can't have your devices on simultaneously periodically for Syncthing, I'm not sure what other options you have. Switching to Google Docs? Renting a sync server / space from Amazon?

      I guess I could set up something lik NextCloud but honestly I was trying to avoid that. I have the cheapest possible option on Vultr and I had a lot of trouble to get my personal website running. It's just that Networks/Servers are not really my thing and I don´t know a lot about how to work with them so yeah. Like I said, i was trying to avoid having to tinker with that kind of stuff. Honestly I might just pay for Dropbox premium or something.

    if you have a server (or a minipc) that's always on but you don't trust enough to let it read your erotic fanfics you could use syncthing's untrusted device feature
    i tried it with obsidian for a while but then i realized that i don't really like taking notes about anything

    I use Joplin. It's okay. I could b***h and moan about it to some extent but its free, comes in a flatpak, dosent force me to cloud sync shit and pisses me off far less than onenote.

    Cherry notes or cherrytree I can't remember what the frick it's called is also an option.

    I use Obsidian, but I'll write Anki cards for the things I care to remember because my memory is shot. But since I don't have a lot of time I'll use ChatGPT to generate a list of cards based on my notes which works a charm

    Pen and paper. Can you please stop making these same threads about "I'm stupid to choose my note app, please help me." It doesn't fricking matter! just take the fricking notes.

        Buy an archive and separate the papers by categories. If a paper has no current purpose throw it.

        >Oh you want my notes?
        >brb, I'mma scanning them and sending you the PDF.

        >>brb, I'mma scanning them and sending you the PDF.
        You can digitalize your notes for future archiving. If you'll work on a group project you can then use some app, or just write files in markdown (or any format it doesn't matter.)

        Ultimately, the true purpose of all these shenanigans isn't just "taking notes" but learning. If you find yourself trapped in the "productivity loop," obsessing over the "how" instead of the "what," you'll be akin to a rat on a wheel, chasing an illusion of what he calls "productivity."

        >muh technology
        Humanity had magnification minds without using any of those "productivity apps" and second brain bullshit, even great minds these days still use pen and paper, because they focus on the "what" instead of the "how." You can argue all day about the strawmen you created, but you can't deny the truth about that no one has ever created something useful using those "productivity apps."

        And stop please these kinds of threads, it's repeatable and stupid.

          This.
          Just have some simple quick way to be able to forget but not forget.
          Everything else, all the information technology stuff is engineering for *SHARING* work, not creating it in the first place. That's where those computer tools really shine.

          If you're learning something, then the same is true, write it all down (it's slow enough that your brain actually has to think about it)
          After you have that, flash cards help you get good at recall (if it's important)
          Then once you are good at it, you can write essentially your own personal textbook / manual for yourself and others later.

    Emacs + Org mode

    >no good way to read notes on iOS
    iOS has two org mode apps I like quite a lot:
    - BeOrg for your task management
    - Plain Org for just opening arbitrary note files

    >no good way to read notes on windows
    Ummmm... emacs runs on Windows?
