Earlier this month LastPass revealed that they had been breached and then a few days later that that their customer’s encrypted password data was stolen. Following a couple of years of controversy including earlier breaches and price rises, this latest breach hasn’t been a particularly good look for them. I’ve been an LP user for a few years, but this latest breach has me concerned - particularly because their customer data vaults have been exposed.

I’ve just released v0.1.0 of my Joplin Hypothesis plugin.

The exciting news is that it now shows up in the Joplin plugin installer/marketplace - just go to tools > Plugins and enter ‘hypothesis’ in the search to find and install it.

This version adds checks to see whether the user has Joplin note sync enabled and forces the plugin to wait for any ongoing sync to resolve before running the Hypothesis sync process. That way the chances that duplicates/conflicts are generated by both Joplin and Hypothesis Syncing at the same time are reduced.

I’ve just released v0.0.2 of my Joplin Hypothesis plugin.

This version adds a couple of fixes that make it a lot more useful. Firstly, users can now import all of their annotations to Joplin rather than just the most recent 20, This is because I am now grabbing annotations via the annotations API instead of the user’s Atom feed. If you have 10,000 annotations this might take a little while, but it does mean that you could practically and easily import all of your hypothes.is annotations into Joplin so that you have a local copy of everything.

Last week, I wrote about how I have started using hypothes.is for web annotation and how it was already seemingly improving my knowledge management workflow. As I continued to use it, I realized that just copying my annotations to my website via micropub wasn’t enough for me to truly integrate it into my workflow.

I’m big on learning in public and I keep a digital garden/wiki containing slightly more fully-formed stuff. However, I keep my private and personal notes as well as half-baked, hare-brained ideas in Joplin. I was thinking it would be very useful to have my hypothes.is annotations easily-accessible from within Joplin, but I struggled to find an off-the-shelf solution to making this happen.

Many folks who have been hanging around on the IndieWeb scene may already be familiar with hypothes.is, a web annotation tool that allows you to highlight and make notes on web pages and PDFs directly, in-browser. Historically I’ve had accidental interactions with it when I’d loaded up blogs (like Ton Zylstra’s for example) and I’ve also seen Chris Aldrich wax lyrical about the service a lot (he is a hypothes.is power user, and he’s made so many annotations there that they recently sent him a little care package in celebration).

After a long period of not managing it, this week I am attempting to return to the Weeknote format that I started earlier in the year. This week I’ve been busy with building bots, playing games and getting a date for my PhD viva.

Really enjoyed this blog post. I’ve been using archivebox for a couple of years now and I tend to link to the original and then my archived ‘mirror’ when writing up my notes in my digital garden. I also use wallabag for preserving long form articles without the yucky html and js gunk which I can read later in my kindle.

A promising code editor written in rust which offers some features similar to vscode. I’m interested in testing it out.

In episode 6 of #100DaysToOffload I’ve been playing with some strategies for running the house with my wife.

“Do you have the login for the car insurance?”

“Which home insurance provider are we with now? I just spilled red wine on the carpet”

“What day does the mortgage come out of our joint account?”

These are questions, particularly that 2nd one, that I want to be able to answer at the drop of a hat. However, there are also a couple of other key constraints:
