  • I tried a bunch of these note taking apps and didn’t really get on with any of them. I now use the Vscode/Vscodium extension Foam which essentially gives all the note taking features and graph view in what is already a good text editor.

    So long as you are mainly writing notes and don’t need the database features that AnyType has or the DataView plug in Obsidian has (though there might be another vscode extension for this - I’ve never looked), then you’d be fine.















  • For the 14 pcs (~8 regularly used) in my house I’m running daily backups with Synology Active for Backup to a spinning disk DiskStation, file sync of the User directory using Synology Drive to an SSD DiskStation (also backed up to HDD DS). That data is all deduplicated. Then additionally I’ve got a few custom scripts to keep programs up to date using Chocolatey and winget which then export the list of installed programs ready to be reinstalled on a new machine.

    This allows me to either do full device restores or clean installs where the reinstall of the relevant programs is handled automatically and then it’s just setting up sync/backup/office activation and we’re off to the races.
