Hey folks! I’m completely new to Lemmy and still figuring out how everything works around here… But I’d love to share a project I’ve been building.

It’s called VOID (Versatile Open-source Infrastructure for Developers) - an open-source, local-first second-brain (note taking app but more powerful) application that combines the flexibility of Obsidian with the powerful organization of Notion.

Unlike many other tools, VOID is not just another note-taking app. It’s built with the idea of being a true second brain that you fully control. No vendor lock-in, no hidden cloud, no feature walls. Everything is open-source, customizable, and designed to adapt to your workflow instead of forcing you into someone else’s.

I’m currently building it with Rust, Tauri v2 and Vue.js. For certain plugins and configs, it also supports SurrealDB as a database.

check it out on my GitHub

          The basis of trust has been breached by whole nation, so it has to be earned by every single member of that nation.

          1. WTF is this collective punishment nonsense? Replace “nationality” with “race” (keeping in mind that a person typically doesn’t choose either and it’s decided by who their parents were) and you should be able to see the issue here
          2. I hope you rather quickly uninstall almost all popular FOSS software from your devices, because almost all of it contains sizeable contributions from russian citizens and I don’t think you’ve individually verified their intentions

          Understood. You could use p2p sync without our/selfhosted server. I didn’t interested in anyone’s data. That’s exactly why I decided to fully open the source code of the app for all who interested. And I’m not trying to hyde my nationality, I just want to all who looks at my project/talks to me feel comfortable without need to translate every my message

            What I can see clearly is that nation overall supports the warfare, and the annexation of neighbouring country — either silently, or loudly. This sentiment was there for even pre-full-scale invastion time period, even in anti-putinists circles (the “Crimea is not a sandwich” statement supporting that1).

            There is an extreme minority that is against war, though they are against war in principle, and make no action to support the warfare to any side.

              There’s almost no civil society of any kind left in Russia, so it’s impossible to say if a nation overall supports or opposes the warfare. People with an active pro-war or anti-war stance are minorities, somewhere in the 10-20% range, and neither are allowed to speak up (interestingly, quite a lot of pro-war social media influencers are in prison right now for daring to speak up against corruption in the army or similar). The vast majority of people are just going about their days. Does that technically help with the war? Yes, I guess, it drives the economy, people pay taxes etc, but then the same can be said about an average american, brit or german right now - I don’t see them blowing up munitions factories (that directly supply the ongoing genocide).

              You know, I don’t necessarily disagree with you, but it’s funny how you don’t see these reactions to American open-source projects, despite the US government’s explicit support for the genocide in Gaza. Why do you think that is?

                  I don’t think there’s a law in the US that criminalizes pacifism [yet] (with actual prison time as punishment)

                  It’s easy to blame russians for not resisting the war when you don’t have the prospect of spending 7 years in a russian prison

                  There is a complex sociopolitical history as to why it’s likely Russians aren’t as vocal about these sorts of things. So no, I don’t think it’s as simple as calling out any Russian that does anything ever, and deciding to give every USian the benefit of the doubt.

                  As well, I’d like to point out that being vocal on the internet is not the same as making a material difference in the real world.

                    There’s also a very simple reason: Russian Criminal Code article 280.3, which criminalizes pacifism with up to 7 years’ imprisonment.

              Please don’t force people to take a stand because 1. he’s Russian and what he say may have repercussions for him, 2. this is not the place for discourse like this; and even if it was, I think it’s important to prioritize persuasion rather than accusation, and 3. He’s just trying to share something he’s enthusiastic about. Just let the guy share and maybe redirect the anger to more vocal supporters

              The genocide perpetrated by Israel and the West? Is that the genocide you’re silent about?

              I get that some people may see it differently. Still, my goal here is simply to share a tool I’m building.
