I got myself some N300 Toshiba NAS drives.

I prefer my local storage. Can’t vouch for any cloud storage.
Upside of Wasabi to my infrastructure: It’s compatible with Veeam.

Too expensive

Local storage + a Veeam VBR VM

I can update Debian after 4 months and it wont implode. I could even do it without a backup.
And i’d hate to be basically required to read 20 update news for 20 other packages scouring for the one important update info that could break my setup.

Use OMV as a GUI crutch in the beginning. And once comfortable, switch to docke compose

My backupserver is a VM.
The host also has VMs for Homeassistant, an MS AD DC based on Windows 2022,

Can’t you just write them in an IDE and push to your gitea?

Do git :)

I thought about something like this to get rid of google calendar and consolidate my calendar and contacts to a single source of truth.
Any opinion on Owncloud vs Nextcloud (usability, deployment/maintenance, plugins, etc.)?

I don’t think I have any use for something like Nextcloud.
The only one that uses my server is myself + the few friends accessing Jellyfin.
To me, some SMB shares are sufficient at home and on the go I only access my HortusFox and Jellyfin (+ *arrs) services.
Assuming I’d have to setup something for another family member as well like an SO, I’d probably have to setup something like Next/Owncloud
I think before I setup something like that, I’ll setup Immich first. Also on my todo list but the rapid dev release cycle clashes with my automated update schedule and would require active attention to the changelogs.
And according to the self.st newsletter there are plenty of breaking changes happening to immich.

If you have a different experience with Immich and docker, please feel free to correct me. It would accelerate my deployment schedule and backup.

Wishing you that as well!

Nah, I mean the how it’s written looks close to a for-loop.
Right now this would require me to pay active concentration to write and utilize something like this vs just writing in markdown as I have already memorized part of the syntax.

Don’t get me wrong though, this is very good and impressive to automate.
I am a fan on how MS Word automatically creates the table of content, complete with formatting when just configuring the formatting correctly for the levels. This basically blows it out of the water.

Bookmarked. Thank you :)

The fuck? How did I skim over that…
Literally read this post but stopped once I saw how OP wanted to do this in CSS.
Oh well…

Looks very cool to automate but also a high learning curve for someone just starting out with scripting ;)
Atm probably not for me.

I think your post was even the one suggested during my post creation. Skimming through your linked posts it seems like joplin and obsidian is used often but I have yet to read about software like notesnook which looked promising.

Seems like a very cool solution for handwritten notes (Surface tablet, ipad, tablets) but not for computer written text notes.

If I would use OneNote in this capacity this would be the perfect replacement!

Maybe it’s just how I conveyed the idea.
Basically something like obsidian (or any other KB solution with markdown) but it can also support self-hosted sync-servers preferably natively.
Obsidian has it to some degree with a community plugin (totally valid. I just dislike having to use an external DB rather than bare files).
The alternative is using a separate app/program like syncthing but then I’d have to keep both open and one continuously open. My preference would be an all-in-one edit and sync. This way the program would also be aware of the content sync and could close in the background once synced

Gotcha so it’s just a markdown editor on mobile. Thanks for suggesting an alternative!
