@twistypencil @logseq I've a mix of windows, mac and iphone. Git is regularly screwed up on the windows box.

@kenoh tfw I notice the username and realize this got federated over to lemmy. This tech is pretty nice!

But yeah, absolutely. When it comes to important data (and my logseq graphs are important), you do backups and you verify the backups. Logseq sync is unreliable between platforms with filesystems that ignore case and don't, for example I've stumbled on https://github.com/logseq/logseq/issues/10993 recently, and hey, it was reported back in February. Checking it now I see the github bot already labelled it as stale and I suppose it will be closed without action soon.

I use git as a backup for logseq sync, but given how it tries to overwrite the config, it's not a fully reliable option either. Sometimes it syncs pages from graph A into graph B.

PKM is a hot space with new tool coming every week. I don't think Obsidian is a perfect tool by any means, after all I used it for more than a year before jumping ship to logseq. But it seems that if I use it less an advanced markdown editor and more like an outliner (for which it has a few plugins) that will fit my mental model and help to find things.

/cc @logseq

@mroma @logseq so this is how my git config looks. Why? I don't know. It happens from time to time and I know logseq tries to write that file.

Now, when that file is corrupted, you'll get a notification in logseq UI that it's git autocommit cannot run. So you go and fix the config.

That is, if you notice the notification. My config got corrupted silently 3 weeks ago and that was the last time logseq did the autocommit, too. So yeah, you can roll to the previous good state if you have git history, but logseq can get you into a spot where you don't have any history.

Previously I'd keep logseq in Synology Drive, too, which offered me a point-in-time backup (technically a one-way sync with history, in my case). Since I migrated to a home-made NAS I couldn't find a replacement (I don't really need one with a 40G fiber to my storage, I just access files right on the NAS), so the only place that still had PINT snapshots was my windows backup.

Sounds fair. I think I gonna go deploy some lemmy and poke around it then.

@Compgeek oauth for fediverse. Oh boy, that sounds like so much fun /s

@Compgeek absolutely. Or needs two things: filter lists (that's mostly client side) to separate the toot stream (check up on often) vs however the subreddits on lemmy are called (check once in a while in bulk). And then you need a list of posts only from the former with an option to drill in.

I know, those are still different paradigms. It's just weird that I can authenticate to so many things online as my google id and yet I must have different identities for the “federated” crowd.

@Edo78 I’ve followed @lemmy over mastodon. I guess that's the second case?
