I used to use floccus and the thing I really liked is you can selectively share bookmark groups. So if you have certain links you want everywhere you can do that, but some sets you might only want in in specific browsers. I do not know if the others that have this.

Stopped using it because of unresolvable problems and not much Dev attention but looks like its picked up again so I plan to get back to it.

I agree. Chromebooks are a viable choice for those who want a web terminal. I used one for about a year. Got the job done.

thanks for all the details! I’ve fairly recently done an FS migration that entailed moving all data, reformatting, and moving it all back. Mega pain in the ass. I know more now than I did at the start of that project, so wouldn’t be as bad but not getting into something like that lightly.

Though it might be the excuse I need to buy another 12 tb hdd…

thanks I appreciate it. I’ve been around the block enough times to expect maximalist advice in places like this. people who are motivated to be hanging around in a forum just waiting for someone to ask a question about hard drives are coming from a certain perspective. Honestly, it’s not my perspective. But the information is helpful in totality even though I’m unlikely to end up doing what any one person suggests.

RAID is something I’ve seen mentioned over and over again. Every year or two I go reading about them more intentionally and never get the impression it’s for me. Too elaborate to solve problems I don’t have.

Thanks! I have gone to look at TrueNAS or FreeNAS a few times over the years. I am dissuaded because hardware-wise they seem expensive. Then on the other hand, they are limited in what they can do.

Comprehension check. Is the below accurate?

1. TrueNAS is an OS, it would replace Debian.
2. Main purpose of TrueNAS is to maintain the filesystem
3. There are some packages available for TrueNAS, like someone mentioned Syncthing supports it
4. But basically if I run TrueNAS, I will likely need a second computer to run services

Also for comprehension check:

• The reason many people are recommending NAS (or WebDAV, NFS, VPN etc) is because with better storage and network infrastructure I would no longer be interested in this caching idea.
• Better would be to have solid enough file sharing within the LAN that accessing files located on Desktop from Laptop would work.
• The above would be completely plausible

How’m I doing?
