I am using Obsidian to write notes at work. I work at a big tech enterprise and with a work computer. I really want to use the community plugins, especially dataview and all the plugins that help facilitate databasing and sorting things. And some other productivity plugins as well.
I have 3 questions:
Is it safe to use community plugins when working for a big enterprise company and with the provided work computer?
Nobody can answer the “is it safe question” for you.
Also, Since this is a work environment you should check with your IT admins about installing obsidian and buy a commercial license.
If you’re asking about doing personal stuff on a work computer, that’s always a bad idea — use the personal computer you probably have in your pocket (your phone). (If you’re asking about doing work stuff, see WhiteNoise’s answer.)
Plug off the network cable, don’t use closed source software, watch the source code of the plugins, don’t use USB-sticks, don’t work nearby a window … There are lots of security issues conceivable. The KGB ordered typewriters because of this.
