A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Anyone know a good alternative for storing PDFs with preview and search?

Paperless might be what you want

Yes I've tried paperless before and found it rather lacking unfortunatley. Thanks for the suggestion though.

How are they going to funnel all that user data to the CCP if they close down. Having access to secure notes and passwords directly from people sounds like a goldmine

Back in 2014-2018 or so they set up local infrastructure centers, in China they used Tencent Cloud.

Switching this to local data centers means the government can just up and ask for that date when they want it and Chinese companies are obligated to obey, compared to when it was kept overseas.

Another example of why federated services are good idea. Also, all such services must be willing to hand over all your data. Which implies open standards and open sourced implementations.

You can already export your data from Evernote.

If you prefer markdown and don't need a massive set of features, I highly recommend notable.

Wait, didn't they close like years ago? I definitely remember reading something about it way before covid. Is it some kind of Mandela effect or was there something?

They got rid of their free offerings, maybe that's what you are thinking of.
