Okay, at least that gives me an idea, thanks

I've used Joplin for years now before was Evernote. I like it because it's open source and the syncing option is built in, exemple either to Dropbox or NextCloud (I use both these options, DB only because I have a free option of 12gB otherwise I would use just NC) The syncing is painless as as I said built-in. It's not a pretty app, fairly plain, but it works perfectly, on my android and Linix PCs, Arch and Debian. I did try Obsidian once. It's pretty, but not being open source put me of. Try it again, takes minutes to set up, as again open source and works well

Yes, it's pretty a neat appli 👍

I use timeshift, on Arch and a Debian setup . It's simple to set up, I do a automatic snapshot once a day, so if something breaks, just boot into tty and restore the previous day's snapshot, takes about five minutes. Not sure why you say ext4 doesn't work as it does. Haven't tried the other programs that you talked about

Diaro sends me a notification and the end of the Day, reminding me to write something.

I keep a diary using Diaro on my android phone. I started a long time ago in note books, but as even I can't alway read my own writing, switched to typing. I don't write much, mostly rubbish, what I do find useful is the ability to search and find things, 'repaired the fridge' 'changed the battery in the smoke alarm', 'had so and so around for dinner' , 'bought this and that' .... It's only for myself, do when I'm dead and gone it will just disappear like myself

At last 😁😁

No I do not see that as a problem. I think, seeing some of their clients that it's a reliable company

Installation was a breeze, far far easier than wireguard with duckdns. (which I have now just done as well) But can't you add it to HA as a add-on?

They often do some promotions, got mine at about half price

I set up WireGuard this morning, but it's far 'harder' than Tailscale. So now I have both working. 😁

Use timeshift, easy peasy to set up. It's saved my bacon a couple of times now, only last week, when the kernel 6.4 came out, but my old nvidia driver wouldn't work with it. You just jump into tty, run timeshift --restore and chose a previous backup, takes all of ten minutes. I have it doing a back up every day to a second HD, keeping the last five, doesn't take up much space. I don't think there's an easier option than that.
