Hi, my name is Shane, also known by my alias as whitekr0w. This is my blog that has a bunch of stuff about me, what I do, and what I’ve done. My goal for this blog is to write something that “helps the next guy”. I’ve spent many hours sifting through countless books, manuals, and Google pages to answer questions I’ve encountered that just didn’t have answers. My goal for this blog is to showcase my findings and experiences so that I can help someone else down the line.

Selfhosted Obsidian File Syncing
For anyone who knows me, I have had an on-and-off struggle with settling on software for my second brain, but have finally settled on Obsidian, which is a fantastic software for developing your own personal knowledge management system. It offers a variety of wiki-esque tools that allow you to link your thinking, and the files that are made aren’t locked into a file format that isn’t viewable by a text editor. I wanted something that I could use on the go, that was easily readable, and in the event of the software going EOL, I could at least rely on the contents being intact and importable into a different kind of software. Most importantly, I had total control over the files and didn’t need to worry about data breaches from the company that I entrusted – all of my files were in my own hands, and I could treat them as securely as I wanted to.
