📄🤖✍️

🗂️ My computer stores everything I work with: drafts, notes, datasets, scripts, models, simulations results, old archives — and, of course, a ridiculous amount of literature. 😅

Recently I discovered something that felt like unlocking a hidden level: local full-text search.

I’d used basic search tools before, but then I tried Recoll — an open-source search engine for UNIX-like systems — and it completely changed how I navigate my research files.

It honestly feels like I found a new kind of “computer game,” and I’ll probably keep playing with it for months. 🤣

💾 From Duplicity to Borg — a backup journey

After more than a decade with Duplicity, I finally switched to BorgBackup — and wow, that difference.

📂 Source data: 719 GB in my /home
📦 Packed size: 419 GB
📉 Actual storage: 390 GB after compression

That’s more than a 45% reduction, and the upload to remote storage is much faster now.
For someone who handles geospatial and scientific data daily, this is huge.

It’s not just about saving space — it’s about making the workflow lighter, faster, and more sustainable.

🧠 Curious — what backup tools do you trust most?

Ok, so I have a Remarkable. I use Zotero a lot, and have started experimenting with Obsidian. I also have used Matter, but never really grew to love it and am considering Readwise, although I suppose I could go back to Pocket.

Anyone have good workflows that centre around Remarkable / Zotero, but include Obsidian and / or Readwise?

A number of recent posts about #Obsidian - combined with me starting a handful of new projects in the last month or two - has me considering falling down the inevitable rabbit hole of reorganizing my #Notetaking and #ResearchWorkflow
