  • That’s fair. I quickly tested standard notes with it firewalled on my phone. it can be used offline and can be set up to require a passcode or biometric verification. Most significantly, the sync server can be self hosted, in case you do decide to pursue this avenue in the future.

    The client apps are available on all platforms, including linux distros, though the desktop apps use electron and feel somewhat sluggish (it uses React Native for android and iOS which feels almost equally bad).

    I’ve not attempted to use this completely offline but it seems to work acceptably. Bear in mind that the client apps can have subtle nags to subscribe to extended mode, which aren’t present when self hosting.

    That said, the default user flow emphasises on the use of an account with an email address, and I’m not sure that’s what you want. I’m wondering if KeePassDX could be used for secure note taking, not sure if keepass entries have some kind of character limit though.


  • I’m curious about the cross platform requirement given the offline one. I’m wondering if Standard Notes or something similar can be used in a purely offline mode.

    I’d hope that practically anything on Android today would suffice given the typical enforcement of either FBE/FDE. Do you specifically need an app that is password protected in addition to Android’s device security, or is this more of an ask for desktop counterparts?











  • Huh strange. Fwiw fluid motion frames is algorithmic, it’s not an AI feature.

    I’d still be intereted in how DXVK fares in the windows side. Given you’re using a NV23 dGPU, I have a pretty solid theory as to what might be going on here, though I’m a little confused as to why windows behaves differently from Linux since power management firmware is a shared object.

    Does this behave the same on battery and wall power?



  • Which index were these disks arranged in? Windows will install its bootloader on 0 regardless of where you physically install the OS.

    I like to keep OS disks self contained, and tend to completely remove other connected disks when conducting a new install. This is a must for Windows, I’ve not had a Linux distro place it’s bootloader in anything other than the OS destination.
