A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

I've been using Zim, because I wanted something that was completely brain-dead simple and also completely not in any sort of "cloud." It's entirely local to my hard drive. It stores its files as a folder of markdown files too.
How non-cloudy is Obsidian? I might take a look at that.
It's completely local unless you specifically opt into cloud options. There is Obsidian Sync but that's completely optional, and your files are still on the computer. I know some people make their vaults Google Drive folders, which, again, is something you have to deliberately do.
100% non-cloud. There are sync options but they are completely optional. No log-in required unless you use the cloud features.
Obsidian in my experience is zim but better (at the cost of being closed source)
