    I have my printer set to scan and save the files to a NFS. Paperless-NGX picks it from there, does OCR and saves it. I guess I could just leave it on the NFS, but I do like the UI of P-NGX.

    I have to agree. I enjoy games so much better now that I always carry on me my second PS5 and my 36” 4k monitor. I have trouble getting on planes however because they won’t allow my True Sine Wave UPS through security.
