Ditching Obsidian and building my own

Although not perfect, I added a couple features to help ensure uptime:

* LAN components are on a UPS, helps keep continuity between power blips and breaker flips

* Dynamic DNS, cron runs a script 4x per day to ensure a DNS name points to my IP, even if issued a new one by the ISP

* Rebooting everything occasionally to ensure the network and services come back up on their own and I didn't make a mistake with some config that loads at boot, etc.

I run Tailscale on an Apple TV which is on a UPS. The thing uses very little power so the UPS lasts a long, long time.

Do you have to hack the Apple TV to run tailscale on it or how does that work?

There's an official tvOS app and you just have to configure the Apple TV to be an exit node. It doesn't require any special setup otherwise.
