To get the best results from Sync, I function session-based. Meaning, I’m working from one computer at a time. Either use the built-in sync or via GitHub.
I put the Obsidian vault outside of a cloud-based file system. On both Apple and Windows, I had file locking issues. Even with block-based syncs like Resillo, it was a problem.
I’m only making changes on one system at a time. If I have a Kubernetes deployment looking at the same git repo, it’s read-only for analysis.
Otherwise, I do a bunch of work on one machine. As each chunk of work is done, I’ll commit that work. Then work on the next set of work.
If I’m taking notes on more than one device, I’m not focused. That’s why I stopped taking notes directly in Obsidian from phone or tablet.
Notes on those devices get reviewed, then committed to Obsidian on a laptop or desktop during a working session. The more devices, the higher probability of corruption too.
