Stray. There were lots of times I'd perch up high and look around at everything going on below.

I got tired of maintaining WordPress and PHP and so on for mine when I rarely use it, so I moved it all to Jekyll and I've been very happy with it. Jekyll is a static site generator, so I write content in Markdown and then generate the site and deploy it by copying it to the server. It's all static content so not only is it super fast, it's a lot less to worry about, security-wise.

He's trying to make zombo.com, but with an X.

Welcome to Xombocom. This is Xombocom. You can do anything at Xombocom. Anything at all. The only limit is yourself!

/Anything is possible!

Steam Deck and/or Switch on the couch while watching TV/Movies is great. Especially if it's something you've seen a dozen times.

Each note in Joplin is a separate Markdown file so there is only a real chance of conflict if two clients edit the same note at the same time. That is much more sync-friendly than an encrypted password database file.

I have yet to hit a conflict but it's just me editing notes and I don't usually use multiple things in the same note at once. I did have a problem getting syncthing to work well on my phone (a pixel with newer Android) where it worked OK on my tablet and other devices. I had to hardcode the address of my laptop in syncthing settings on my phone and then it seems to be happy that way.

You can export notebooks directly from Evernote, and then some apps can import them from there. I know Joplin can but there are some others as well.

Inertia was carrying me as well. First it was $35 for premium, then $70 for several years, and then last month they announced it was going up to $130 and that's when I bailed.

At $70 it wasn't too bad and I stayed the last year or so also because they actually published a native Linux app that worked on par with the Windows and macOS app. I won't say it worked great because since they moved it all to Electron or whatever it's been slow/clunky all around. But at least it was available and consistent.

They still have a free tier but it's locked way down (2 devices only, and accessing the web site counts as a different "device" from each system).

There is a recent thread discussing Evernote alternatives at https://beehaw.org/post/986939

Personally I exported my notes from Evernote, imported them to Joplin, and setup Syncthing to handle synchronization of note content between my devices. Not exactly a trivial setup but not difficult either. Also fully open source and much more secure.

I wanted to use Syncthing so I didn't need a server involved and didn't want to work off mapped drives/network shares. The client devices all handle the syncing themselves so the files are local on every device and kept in sync within a reasonable time period and if they can't connect for a bit, that's fine, they can work on the local files and sync up next time I'm back on the home network.

If your NAS has a similar function it can do that natively. Joplin can sync using files on the device filesystem which is how Syncthing works but it also supports syncing through a variety of other servers/services, such as Nextcloud. It's very flexible in that way.

So essentially you can do it however you choose to do it since they are just plain text files being copied around.

zettlr looks interesting, pity there isn't an Android app at least.

I may give zettlr a spin for some other Markdown uses, though. It might be handy for use with Jekyll
