MDX processing of a VimWiki in Markdown

Tags: :mdx: :neovim: :snippets: :journaling: :blogging:

For privacy and easier syncing, Figure out how the multiple wiki thing works:

  1. laptop
  2. phone (will be accessing a specific directory on the server, but an app is not out of the question)
  3. server

Syncroznizing the laptop journals to the cloud where they can be edited on my ;phone

  • [ ] Turn rsync and git commands into scripts contolled from this laptop that accept either up or down as the single argument command into script that prepares to sync with server by committing changes 3 minutes after last change comes in in a batch (probably when I've closed out nvim and saved some files on the way, otherwise they're probably changes made during the course of work, in which case there should be a maximum amount of time that the 3 minutes has been interrupted continually for 30 minutes, so we will attempt to sync anyway.
  • [ ] periodically run git backups branches named periodic-(hostname)-(YYYY-MM-DD)
  • [ ] No two systems should be writing at the same time since there is only one one user who will be triggering the rsyncs through inotify by saving files, but implement a lockfile system where the system that wishes to push writes and syncs a lock, then waits ~10 seconds to init transfer

I wish LsyncD worked on macOS, but it seems risky to use once, let alone

continually through the work day and all night

  • [X] Get a command that syncs everything but the git folder using lsyncd manual source code

  • [ ] Create sync users on each system with rw access to /var/cronofile

  • [ ] Give myself access to /var/cronofile

  • [ ] make that command run all the time via systemd

The pure rsync sync system

Had downsides including that there there would probably have to be separate scripts for downloading and upload from the server, while the git model using a single git repository as a centralized service provides easier use: "I am leaving this computer so it's time to sync, or I am opening this computer so it's time for me to sync.
