With this update you should see a 50% to 95% reduction in the load time for Obsidian on mobile. My personal vault is about 14k notes and loads in less than a second 🥰
(and the new Sync History view is incredibly useful if you share a vault with friends or coworkers)
Obsidian 1.7 is now available for desktop and mobile!
This update makes Obsidian much faster to load, and reduces memory usage. You should see significant performance improvements across all platforms.
More highlights:
- The new Sync History view shows a list of edits across the vault, useful when collaborating on a shared vault. Activate it using the "Sync: Show Sync history" command.
- You can now click inside a page preview to edit it without opening the note.
- Several improvements to Obsidian URI new and addition of daily.
- There is a new tool (General → Advanced) to show the app load time.
- Views now load only when visible. This might cause issues with some plugins, make sure to update your plugins.
- Renaming files is now faster in large vaults.
This whole #WordPress drama has made me rethinking what #CMS to use for my main sites. I am now more interested than ever, in using @rails, for my main #website.
Guess this means I need to start learning #Ruby!

In response to the angry replies below here are some more thoughts:
The fact that I am questioning the risks of this war does not make me an appeaser. Arguing for peace does not make me an apologist for Hezbollah or the Iranian regime.
( I have spent longer in Iran and seen more directly what makes the Iranian regime horrifying than my critics below…)
When I said that the Israeli attacks in Iran and Lebanon will make Iran feel forced to respond + lead to escalation this was a statement of fact not an endorsement of Iran.
• Both sides feel that they are not escalating - they are simply “responding” - it is only the other side who is escalating. But that is how escalation always works.
• The situation is particularly dangerous because the previous shadow war has been ended. Neither Israel nor Iran is now well-placed to predict the reactions of their opponents in the new situation.
If you are interested in engaging with the argument rather than banging a particular twitter drum please try listening to the full discussion on the podcast…
Some thoughts on Israel-Lebanon-Hezbollah-Iran in our latest podcast below - and why things are escalating in this way.
In particular
• The military success against Hezbollah does not = a political strategy
• Other Arab nations + many Lebanese hate Hezbollah
• BUT many Lebanese who dislike Hezbollah also hate an Israeli ground invasion of Lebanon
• Iran is forced to respond - because it is perceived to have failed to respond to weeks of Israeli attacks in Tehran and Lebanon
• Hence escalation

I currently use both Brave and Vivladi for different things. Though I'm reserving judgement, on which browser is the best, until the new ones have fully matured!

With @UKLabour planning to raise student debt, @Keir_Starmer clearly hasn't learned the lessons that the @LibDems did... when it comes to tuition fees!
Under the Tories, tuition fees have tripled and young people are leaving university with nearly £60,000 worth of debt.
Let’s be blunt: we need to end the scandal of spiralling student debt. #AnotherFutureIsPossible theguardian.com/politics/202…

Just deployed phpmyadmin and pgadmin to my HomeLab for easy database management.
Strangely there don’t seem to be any other modern alternatives that are good enough, or am I just wrong? 😑
What do you use for database management? 🤷

For over a decade, reminders were a paid feature in Todoist. We are now making basic reminders free with some limits.
This is a significant change, as most of the 1-star reviews were because of no free reminders.
We can make this change because we've added a ton of value to our paid plans (e.g., calendar view, durations, team workspaces), and we can loosen up this restriction.
Lastly, we can also do this because of continued support from Todoist customers.
With this step, we are getting closer to enabling many more people to truly organize their work and life ✨
