Windows built-in snipping tool (shortcut Win + Shift + S) also has a text actions button to extract text.
I am using this tool all the time and I did not know this! Thanks!

But files obsidian works with are just bunch of .md files that can be viewed or edited with anything, nano, notepad, visual studio code etc. So does it really matter it is or it is not open source?
jiri commented on Why are so many pedestrians killed by cars in the US? construction-physics.com/... · Posted by u/thelastgallon
No, the US has a culture of not giving a single shit about anyone but yourself. A frighteningly large fraction of drivers will do anything they can get away with. Here in the land of the free, rules are for other people, not for me.
Yeah, but I dont see how your people can get away of ignoring laws of physics, as this is what the parent comment by "Zambyte" mentioned.

Wouldnt be better to have sandboxing built directly to cpython? Why there is no such thing already "include" in cpython? Or maybe to create some limited sandboxed venv?

I am often surprised how Claude Code make efficient and transparent! use of memory in form of "to do lists" in agent mode. Sometimes miss this in web/desktop app in long conversations.
jiri commented on Ubiquiti launches UniFi OS Server for self-hosting lazyadmin.nl/home-network... · Posted by u/speckx
I've been self-hosting a Unifi controller (now called 'Unifi Network') for years in a Docker container, and before that I'd run it on a Windows machine whenever I needed to make changes to the configuration - I assume this pivot to call the self-hosted version 'UniFi OS' implies a future where more than just the Network application can be self-hosted.
I used to run in on raspberry pi, it worked flawlessly. Its like a hardware container ;-)
If you use LLM CLI tools like Claude Code you can let model just call shell commands directly instead of MCP. Or does MCP have some advantage even in the scenario?

I 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.

> 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 ...

Looks like awful lot of work to create such battery packs. I guess next step is to automate general assembly and dissasembly of battery packs via some smart AI robotics.
