I'm checking out various "personal knowledge management" tools in a sandbox to see if it be an upgrade my ragtag collection of text file-based notes.
First candidate is #Logseq, supposedly "privacy-first".
How #privacy friendly is something based on Electron (aka Chrome)? Debatable, but then they also do this:
- Have "Send usage data" on by default
- Start with an example page that embeds a YouTube video, and accepts all cookies
tcpdump and mitmproxy go wild when starting the program.
Even when turning "Send usage data" off, Sentry is being contacted each time I switch to another note, until I restart the program.
Not the hugest deal but it suggests to me that privacy is not what has the highest priority at this VC-backed company.
@loadhigh just in case you're not aware, the current release of LogSeq is pretty much abandoned. They've been developing a database version for the last year+ that's now in beta, I think. (I have not looked into the privacy claims or facts about that version though)
@tal@mastodon.social Interesting, I didn't know that. Logseq has quite a following so odd of them to go for a full rewrite.
But I guess that's a luxury you can afford with $4.1 million :P
