In which world are you living? For most programming jobs, the code is absolutely the easiest part of the whole thing, which is just gatekept into absurd bureaucracy and ceremony. Even if coding became 100x faster with 0 errors tomorrow, the

Most of the "affordability" and "pricing" discussion is pointless because we don't have any real numbers on their margins per token. So, yes, they are subsidizing their subscription plans compared to the API prices,

People are missing the long-term horizon on this. Yes, definitely, you can automate most of your workflows as a software engineer with today's LLM frontier capabilities fully E2E. But many things are still super open: -First, cost is n

Hi thanks!! You can find more details about the security in the SECURITY.md https://github.com/fjrevoredo/mini-diarium/blob/master/SECUR... Regarding Tauri, I liked it a lot. This is my first time using

You certainly can, this is just a different flavor of solving a problem that can be solved in multiple ways.

yeah, that's the whole point! :D

thanks for the feedback, i think i will loop the gif. I was more focused on making it as small as possible to be fast and i forgot about the looping.

Definitely a niche thing. Thanks for the feedback

Thanks for the feedback. This is why I built it FOSS. On the libraries: Mini Diarium actually does use established, widely audited crates rather than rolling its own primitives. See https://github.com/RustCrypto/AEADs

That's definitely an interesting idea

you can certainly do that, indeed.

I also, myself, had a similar setup some time ago; that's super valid.

It's based on a latin word so it should be not that far from the english pronunciation. It would be something like MIN-ee Dee-AIR-ee-um

by holyknight 7mo ago
yes, that's definitely also a valid approach.

Hey, thanks for the feedback! That's a valid point; currently, my main focus is to secure the store on disk, but this is definitely a point which could be improved later on. If your machine is fully compromised or actively monitored by

Yes, you can definetely can! Currently you can see the location of the .db file on the preferences while your journal is open. I will improve the experience for this use case in follow up releases, by for example being able to define a arbi

The support for it is planned. It was thought from the beginning with supporting all the major platforms; I just started with the desktop support because there was my best use case. But the support is already planned in the near future. And

Hey, thanks for the feedback! Yes, currently in the preferences you can see the path of your local SQLite DB file, so you could definitely sync that to the cloud. I will improve it further in next releases to make it even simpler (for examp

Thanks for the feedback! That point is super valid; that's why I created it with multiple authentication slots in mind (currently, it supports both password and public key authentication) so you can use multiple simultaneously and do n

Thanks! I will check that out

yeah, currently you can export your journal to json or markdown files. So you can walk away at any point. Vendor lock-in is one of the main things i wanted to avoid. That's why I sticked with boring and standard libraries and encryptio

It’s basically the same thing that always happens when you choose a technology because it’s convenient rather than a great fit for your problem. Sooner or later, you’ll hit a wall. Just because you can cook a salmon in your dishwasher doe

your premise would've been right, if memory wouldn't skyrocketed like 400% in like 2 weeks.

I never understood the craze for "Advent of code". Already at this time of the year the last thing I want to do is code even more.
