I have a very particular problem: I want to synchronize my Obsidian files across all of my apple devices (Replication), synchronize them to my non-apple devices (also Replication) and make sure they are backed up to protect from corruption or deletion (Backup).

I prefer to use native, free tools especially when they work well. In which case I ought to use iCloud for replication and Time Machine for backups. Unfortunately, iCloud doesn’t work with non-apple devices and Time Machine experiences a fatal corruption every 2-4 years¹.

Come for the stories. Stay for the (mostly) FreeBSD content.

I came to FreeBSD in a round about way.

For years, I have intended to create a place on the internet to record my thoughts and projects. I have a problem, however; a serious case of NIH¹. Five years ago, to learn AWS I wrote my own markdown to SSG system complete with photo integration. I made it fairly far along until life intervened and I never finished. So, no webite, no blog.
