Nice, I’ve been doing something similar, using the obsidian-git plug-in for Obsidian and the Working Copy app on iOS.

Obsidian is my front-end, and it saves the notes in markdown files in a git-synced folder on my computer.

The plug-in pushes and pulls automatically, and Working Copy does the same thing on iOS, just before opening the Obsidian app on iOS.

It’s okay. I had their top tier plan for a few years, but I hadn’t needed the vpn for anything until attempting to set up a media server.

Since switching to LMDE and setting up my server in January, I’ve been using ProtonVPN and consistently had an IP leak or something, and my isp has pretty consistently sent me nasty-grams each time I p2p file share. I’ve taken to only doing it at hotels. Kind of frustrating to constrain myself, but I don’t have time to research more and don’t want to lose my sweet $50/1000mbps and have to switch to my old isp. I don’t know that the issue is ProtonVPN, but I don’t know how to investigate it much.

Don’t change anything about your proton plan. I didn’t realize that if I subscribed for their vpn, that I’d lose my $1 special. They wouldn’t revert the change, even the same day it was made.

Sorry, I’m new here and to Linux. I’ve read a little about git versioning, but I don’t get the joke. Can someone provide some insight?

I like what u/mosiacmango said.

Also, as someone new to self hosting, Linux, containers, networking and assembling computers, Unraid has made the steep learning curve easier to climb.

From my perspective, staring at Unraid’s Black Friday pricing, it was a no brainer when the alternatives seem to be truenas and maybe Synology. Truenas would’ve had a steeper learning curve, and Synology provides a cookie cutter experience and learning little.

I canceled Prime a year ago, just before their announced price increase, and it’s been great. I sign up for free, month-long trials of Prime on their website a few times a year, and I just accept slower, free shipping the rest of the time.

For work, we bought a Dell desktop off Newegg, and when it arrived, it had different brand and quality components than advertised on Newegg. We returned it no problem, but we haven’t used Newegg since then. Just one experience, but it affirms enshittification.

Something must not be showing up right in wefwef because when sorting that [email protected] by new, the most recent post is two weeks old.
