Coworker/friend/loved one: “So why is XYZ happening?”
Brain: Aww yiss. I will anticipate all possible questions and forks in the conversation, say it all, thus saving everyone time.
Brain: Wait. Remember how you’ve been trying to keep it brief? Try that now.
Me: “Well, it was 8:30am after all.”
Coworker/friend/loved one: “Er … I’m sorry what now?”
Brain: They took the bait. THIS IS YOUR TIME TO SHINE
Me, 5 mins later: “… yeah so anyway, what was the question again?”
You just reminded me. My dad used to say “Don’t take any wooden nickels!” Had to get him to explain this, the first time he said it to me.
Whoops, should have noticed your endorsement of syncthing before posting a comment mentioning this.
While Obsidian does save to individual files, the Markdown they use seems to be a superset of everyday Markdown. Eg, being able to use callouts (eg, Note, Warning, Info, etc) and embedded linking of notes.
The automatic backlinks are fantastic. And I’ve discovered that if I rename a note, all links to that note get updated as well. So no need to worry about orphaning pages.
I’ve added a handful of plugins as well. Off the top of my head, one is a dynamic table of contents (for that page), another helps to compose/edit Markdown tables.
Also a big fan of Obsidian!
For syncing, one option is to use syncthing.
I know someone (whose geek creds are admittedly well beyond mine) who is also a fan. He uses GitHub to sync his notes.
You piqued my curiosity. Has to go check into these.

OT, but I die a little inside when I see some writing in a book. I’m sure in this case it was probably a student wanting to highlight, but still.
I’m able to fall asleep during an MRI scan.
