i'm honestly considering migrating some static sites to an obsidian vault + https://quartz.jzhao.xyz...

Welcome to Quartz 4

i've manually tagged and added a summary to 203/986 clippings from wallabag. some of them failed to be retrieved due to people blocking scraping of their site due to ai crawlers so i'm using the obsidian web clipper to extract markdown from those pages. the nice thing about obsidian as well is that i can just paste rich text and it will translate it to markdown automagically.

i keep stumbling upon articles that i thought i had archived correctly that actually fell to an llm scraper trap that produced some random text with bait links. gotta reimport a lot of 'em... :(

Mar 10

very disheartening that a large amount of links i need to clean up from 2024-2025 are just gone, link rot is so fast these days

implemented a newer, simpler tagging system that goes by domain rather than specifics and now it's all coming together...

@chirpbirb Damn this looks awesome; way more organized than my notes

@chamomile this has "only" taken me like 2 weeks of thorough examination of literature and scripting to auto tag stuff

Chamomile 🐑6d ago

@chirpbirb Auto-tagging sounds pretty useful. Got a link? My tags are pretty bare because I always forget to and so I mostly maintain associations by obsessively linking pages together.

@chamomile it's a whole custom python thing i've got over here, i didn't find anything specific out of the box and it involves using a local llm to read articles and parse tags. i feel like there's a way easier way to do this though

Chamomile 🐑6d ago

@chirpbirb Ohh I see, interesting. I'd be surprised if there wasn't already a community plugin for that sort of thing tbh, but that's probably be doing about the same thing.

@chamomile honestly if i'm bored enough i might make a plugin that just maps keywords to specific tags and writes that to the file somehow

@chirpbirb this sure looks cool but does it help?

@colinstu yes, imo. narrowing down the categories for tagging and moving to [[linking]] for everything else helps generate spheres of thought i can then reference later or make category wells out of.

@chirpbirb my fav is when they rot while still open as tabs (that I've left open for so long). I need to almost copy the url into a new tab and reload to make sure I don't lose anything off the old cached copy..

@chirpbirb RIP :/

@chirpbirb Sucks so hard how they've ruined it for everyone.

@chiroplut i saw that! made by the same guy who made the web clipper :D

@chirpbirb logseq's idea is so cool but the execution hasn't been that great imo. ive been using obsidian with the outliner plugin as a replacement and it works.... ok enough i guess

kopper

@chirpbirb but yeah i dont use it as much as some other people im not gonna be making 4 hour youtube walkthroughs of a zettelkasten setup thatll be obsolete in two weeks or something

https://github.com/logseq/logseq/issues/12402

@kopper i like installing packages through flatpak on my machine where i can so i tried installing the latest logseq version but they literally haven't updated the package in two months it is march and the release came out in december

and i ran into this issue trying to create a new advanced query where i wanted to see what documents i had updated and created on each day... turns out that's impossible if you've had to re-index your graph

https://github.com/logseq/logseq/issues/8556

those are just two issues i ran into when i finally sat down to use logseq after paying for it for two years like a good open source contributor. the mobile app is ass and asks me to enter my sync password every time and the desktop app is ass and it asks me to enter my sync password every time and i don't know why i use this thing anymore

turns out obsidian is cheaper and provides better syncing on mobile and linux and does everything i need it to

converted my pages with some plugin or whatever and i'll fix the rest manually i am so tired

Flatpak version still on 0.10.14 · Issue #12402 · logseq/logseq

Search first I searched and no similar issues were found What Happened? Logseq 0.10.15 was released on 1 December 2025, but the Flatpak version is still on 0.10.14. Could you kindly update the Flat...

GitHub

@kopper like how fucking pathetic is it for a user to have to go hey guys haha it's been two months since that thing you released has released please update the release like come on

kopper

@chirpbirb arent they in the middle of a massive refactor to replace everything with a sqlite database or did they finish that

@kopper legit 0 idea lmao

Bert Mar 1

@kopper @chirpbirb Yes they are. And I hardly know anyone wanting that feature.

My suspicion: Since they got VC money, they need a feature they can make paid only. And sync is typically such a thing.

But I sync without problems between 5 devices through syncthing.

@kopper @chirpbirb I have a love/hate relationship with the outliner plugin. I love that it exists. I hate that I can't see a TOC type of outline. I *can* do that with a markdown hierarchy style outline, but then that defeats the purpose of having a bullet style plugin. So I just use omnioutliner if I need outlines.
