Very interesting! It’s tempting, but I can already see the “Major Change ticket” coming in for “Divorce” if I asked for tickets at home :D

I’m afraid of falling into the trap of having too many new toys to play with, so I’ll keep simplicity and tasks.org in mind! For taking notes for myself, I have Obsidian set up the way I like it. I must say, I under utilize that one as well. Joplin, I used in university some years ago. I should maybe revisit it to see if I find any use for it.

Thanks for the tip! I wouldn’t have stumbled upon it by myself. Looking through their demo, it’s rather complex, maybe too much for what I need. The price seems fair tho. With the source being available I’ll consider trying it.

for me it usually one of the three: What’s a lemmy? What is this lemming site? What did you do to Lenny?

I don’t plan to neglect backups. Currently I use Syncthing as well, but only between non-redundant storage locations, so I have duplicates. Like phone pushes photos to pc or laptop, those sync them between each other. Important docs that I can’t lose are also on all 3 devices.

And I plan to keep the local storage of mission critical data around on some clients at least. I just want to have a central, more robust, redundant system where one or 2 disks can fail without my data being gone or corrupted.

The noise is only an issue because of how small my appartment is. I can’t really isolate noise in here. I would think it also depends on which drives I get. I read that some are louder than others.

The workplace scene from Wanted comes to mind…

I’m not too keen on chosing names so I’m happy that I could

Sadly the voting with wallet approach is only a short term solution imo.

One big player makes the contraversial move, gets some flack then most people forgets. Other players later make the same moves saying this is industry standard now, since the big players are doing it.

Playing the system by workarounds, root hiding, sandboxing tools etc. Will probably work temporarily also until they figure out what people are doing to circumvent the locks.
