A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Maybe it really is time to get open sourced AI and bots to archive useful information so they don't get monopolized.
One thing that is designed to be future-proof is MarkDown, I've been taking profesional and personal notes and exporting important information from web pages to markdown and hosting it on my own PC for a while.
MarkDown it's text based so you can have a huge amount of data with just a tiny bit of space. And it is easily translated/rendered as HTML. Apps like Logseq, Obsidian or Markor are good starts for managing huge vaults of information.
I'm thinking that whe should create a MarkDown community here.
edit: There's one already! https://lemmy.ml/c/pkb
Thanks a lot! You're right, backing up with MarkDown is much better.
You just reminded me of an old software I used to use, called WikidPad. It had some sort of MarkDown and it was FOSS. It was great for making portable/offline wikis.
There's plenty of software designed to store personal wikis and info in markdown, if you are interested checkout Obsidian, Logseq and Jopling (in that order for me)
Thanks, I'll look into them. The one I mentioned is outdated/abandoned, afaik.
