I've been doing the same for the past few years, but have yet to figure out a good way to sync things between my devices. Not that it bothers me too much, but sometimes I'd like to have that convenience.
- vzaliva 3y agoI use dropbox to sync.
- lb4r 3y agoI've contemplated this, but in general I'm not a big fan of hosting personal files on the cloud if it can be avoided. Maybe if I use rclone and encrypt it...?
- pjerem 3y agoWhat about Syncthing ? It’s Dropbox like (you sync folders over different computers) but it’s totally P2P (so no cloud).
- f311a 3y agoI use cryptomator and store my notes on Github (encrypted)
- justsomehnguy 3y agoIf you are okay with rclone (and do have vps/server/whatever somewhere) then Syncthing is the thing to do that. https://docs.syncthing.net/ https://docs.syncthing.net/
- OriginalPenguin 3y agoGit? Syncthing?
- lb4r 3y agoI do use Git for source control-purposes, but this is the first time I hear of Syncthing. Would that allow for completely automated and frictionless syncing?
- ledauphin 3y agoit'll be very good. it won't resolve conflicts for you, though - just like Dropbox or Google Drive also wouldn't. It's last-write-wins, so you either need to keep your devices connected and syncing at all times, or you need to be careful when you edit the same files on different devices. I use Syncthing for all kinds of things and it's excellent, but it's not really a silver for bullet for mutable data like text files.
- lb4r 3y agoI'll look into it, thanks for the suggestion! The risk de-synchronization poses can probably be mitigated with automated local backups.
- BaseballPhysics 3y agoBTW, just a second vote for Syncthing, here. It's basically my "move data around" Swiss Army knife. Need to get my Keepass database on my phone? Syncthing. Need to back up my reMarkable to my NAS? Syncthing. Need to replicate game saves between my PC and my Steamdeck because the game doesn't support Steam Cloud Sync (I'm looking at you, Subnautica)? Syncthing. I run Paperless as a document management system and use Genius Scan on my phone. I use Syncthing to automatically move scans from my phone to the Paperless inbox folder. And none of that data resides on a third party cloud. Just encrypted, peer-to-peer sync. It really is fantastic.
- willdr 3y agoIf I can ask, what is Paperless? Google is strangely unhelpful.
- mplanchard 3y agoI use Dropbox and symlink my notes to ~/org
- hu3 3y agoTry https://github.com/laurent22/joplin https://github.com/laurent22/joplin + cloud drive of your choice (I use One Drive). See my reply to your parent commenter.
- lb4r 3y agoThanks for the suggestion! By the looks of it, it seems to be a complete solution similar to Evernote, whereas I just need to figure out the 'syncing' part of things (I use Emacs for the rest).
