Crazy coincidence as I just started setting up my PARA system on Logseq.

#12Denote with a gptel-make-tool that's able to pull relevant notes and bring it automatically into context is fantastic.

#13Earlier quoted context omitted.
Which is a bit of bummer, as I think they would be doing perfectly fine if they had open-sourced Obsidian's client and just sell sync service (as they are doing now anyway).
They also sell a business license. I wonder how much money they make with that compared to the sync service.
I believe it's now free for commercial use.

#14> Obsidian: An Org-Mode replacement? I doubt it. Obsidian is not open source, and the core is maintained by a small group of people, rather than a community. What happens when the company dies? That said, I am willing to have more faith in Obsidian, than many other things since they are not [VC funded]( https://stephango.com/vcware )
With Obsidian, you have all your markdown files on your disk, so you can use vi or emacs to view and edit them while someone else put together replacement app ...

There's also something nice about having everything in the same place, at least until Obsidian becomes a code editor and email reader. For a while I thought that Neovim might be the next Emacs (if you squint a bit) but looks like Obsidian is halfway there if you take a look at the plugin landscape and what people are doing at the extreme ends.
Also stuff like Bases[0] might be the thing that entrenches Obsidian even further as an IDE for knowledge work (more or less).

#16I am also worried a bit about knowledge nowadays.
With LLM-based AI, should one also store individual chats in personal knowledge system? Yeah, I believe that some my chats are quite full of relevant info, that can be used in the future.
Also what is the right general approach here - should I ask the same question several times (every time I need information) or should I just look up previous answer in my history? To be fair I dont store google results, I just search it again, but with chat the path to right answer is often more complex than spitting few words in google search input box.

Semi related there's also ekg which stores notes in a sqlite database and uses tags as titles as in you don't really have to name a note per se and multiple notes can share a "title" which is just a tag.
But that's not why I mentioned ekg, the reason is that it does embedding out of the box, here's a quote from the repo on GitHub:
"There is support for attaching Large Language Model (LLM) “embeddings” to notes, for use in search and similarity search, via the llm package. This allows you to search based on semantics, as opposed to text matching. You can also use LLM chat in your notes, getting an LLM to respond to your notes based on a default prompt, or new prompts that you add."
These days I feel like you have lots of great options for note-taking in Emacs and you're not forced to use the org format unless you want to.

#18I looked into Obsidian a few years ago but decided against it due to the lack of encryption and self-hosting options. Are there now any workarounds or solutions available that provide encryption and self-hosting capabilities?

They have a dedicated page that compares with Obsidian here:
Re: Knowledge Management in the Age of AI
#20AI isn’t quite good enough for organizing your notes yet. However, the biggest issue with our notes is that we make them for us, not another person, so the context is lacking for search.
