I get the spirit here but not sure I agree that it MUST be true mathematically.

A full time job is 32+ hours a week. Even if I use the American 40, that’s still only 23% of the week not counting vacation or holiday.

Most people don’t get more then 8 hours off sleep a night. That’s 1/3 the day. 43% of the week for everything else.

That’s enough time for you to do something more than sleep or work. Then count in time for vacation and holiday and if you don’t sleep eight hours every night. And if you do stuff at work that isn’t necessarily in your job title.

Due to my meds I can only sleep 4-5 hours a night.

My city is nestled between a rain forrest and lots of natural springs. If we put our water through the normal cleaning process it would come out dirtier then it went it. We also have a few damned lakes we are having to release water from because we got so much damned rain this past winter.

We have a flat rate we pay for water, sewage, recycling, and garbage pickup and are only charged more if we use a certain amount of water. Mostly just people who water their yard or have a personal pool have to pay the higher fee.

I stopped drinking alcohol and soda and drastically cut down my milkshake consumption. I’ve lost 50 pounds in the past year and still going down.

Sounds like you’ll want a bambulabs or AnkerMate

Thanks everybody for the feedback!

I did purchase a cloud plan from joplin directly, and it worked with all my devices instantly, no fuss.

Linode had advertised a “one-click” solution to get NextCloud up and running, but it was far from it. A couple folks linked a GitHub page with a list of NextCloud providers and I decided on Cloudamo, and that was way more up my alley then Linode. No ssh, no console, no installs, just easy GUI. I am just waiting on the nameserver change and then hopefully I am good to go there.

It sounds like hosting my own email is not a good idea. I already have a proton account that I am using for email. I tried using it for File storage, but it has been lacking, and others have been unable to view or download what I share with them. Does anyone have an opinion on if Skiff is better enough to switch over? Could Skiff pages replace Joplin? Someone mentioned lack of security with NextCloud. Would you recommend Skiff Drive over it?

I had never heard of mailbox.org before. Why might you recommend it over the others?

I will DM some of you for some advice on my local setup.

I’ll look into some of those links you sent, thank you.

I did try linode which advertised one click setup for some of these apps. But it still required dancing just the right dance just the right way and SSH’ing into a linux computer to initialize everything. Once initialized only one of my computers can sync with it, my phone and other computers say invalid connection. After troubleshooting for several days I tore it down and built it back up and now none of my devices can connect.

I do have Proton and that was painless to setup, but when I share files using a public link other people only get a blank screen. They have basically nothing for photos.

That is a fair point about needing to have someone troubleshoot for me.

I have been fighting with Plex for 2 years. Tried it on Windows and tried it on TNAS. Despite buying a static IP from my ISP and telling Plex to allow outside connection Plex always said it was unavailable outside my wifi. Most of the time it was anyways, but every once in a while it wouldn’t. It would often just a stream in the middle and say the media was no longer available. On LAN and off. Could never link an error log entry with any of these failures. It would often mis identify movies and shows despite me following the naming schema. For example /Media/Movies/Hulk (2008)/Hulk (2008).mkv would often show up as “The Twelve Kingdoms”

I have thousands of discs I am scanning in and after going through 15 tutorials and trial and error I could never get *arrs to work properly. I couldn’t get radarr or sonarr to watch folders for ripped movies and move them into the appropriate folder, and tdarr would happily check my files for errors, but refused to convert, compress, or find subtitles for my files. It would just “complete” the task in 1ms and do nothing and report it was done. After trying TDARR on the sixth different computer I almost through it through a window.

Thanks for the advice.

I’m ok with paying for a privacy respecting, offline syncing service.
