welcome to my personal hell

dragon warrior iii for the game boy color describes me as "stubborn", and i'm tempted to agree with that assessment


co-owner tcrf.net. i run an old forum, jul.
i've been around the internet since '01.
i generally feel like the internet
peaked somewhere around '07.

two things i need to do soonish:

  • figure out a replacement for dropbox to sync things across desktop, laptop, phone, and arbitrary other stuff
    • we have a nas at home that we can probably use for this
    • phone syncing is probably the big one since password databases
  • obsidian, with sync support across multiple instances (see above)
    • i know this is doable for free because some people do it

i don't mind hosting my own things, i just need to know how to do it. :v

in reply to @xkeeper's post:

SyncThing works great for me, but it's not strictly made for a client-sever config; it's any one node to any others.
That said, install it on a server and it becomes very moot very quick.
If you're not otherwise looking at Next cloud for other services, I'd recommend it.

i second this, i used seafile for a couple of months and it was a nigh unusable trash fire that i'm 99% sure left a hole in its default config that got my server botnetted and my ip blocked from half the websites out there.

switched to syncthing and i keep forgetting that it exists. completely seamless for keeping my password db current & my phone photos backed up.

I also recommend syncthing. I have multiple synced folder. Music go to the raspberry connected to a speaker and ebooks go to the android tablet. Everything on the server.

The version I use on my phone only run 5 minutes once per hour to save battery so I have to be careful to not edit the password database on the phone and laptop before it synchronized else I get a fork I have to fix it. Which is fairly painless with keepass honestly.
