I’ve migrated to Obsidian for true data sovereignty. Unlike platforms that hold notes hostage in proprietary formats, Obsidian uses local Markdown files—future-proof and private. I’m now using a local LLM to chat with my data without exposing it to external training. My "vault" currently links 21 years of salvaged Typepad posts, a year of curated AI insights, and 23 years of work history. It’s an evolving map of my life’s work, built on a foundation of total ownership.
