An Introduction to Obsidian

I recommend using syncthing. It's very easy to self host but I actually use a SaaS for it: syncding.com. It gets me 100gb to 1tb of disk in which I can create folders and keep them synced with my 2 laptops, my phone, my server etc... I have an Obsidian vault with Meld Encrypt to encrypt some files, a keepassxc file I share across my devices and my todo.txt

It's simple to setup and will work forever instead of paying for different providers that might shut down or increase their prices.

I should probably mention — I’m one of the co-founders of https://www.syncding.com

I originally built it for my own setup (multiple devices, encrypted files, etc.), and it kind of grew from there.

Not everyone has a NAS at home, so the idea behind syncding.com was to provide a simple, encrypted online Syncthing hub that just works without the usual setup — with built-in ZFS snapshots for versioning and recovery.

Always cool to see others using similar workflows.

Haha now your comment might make it seem like I was trying to advertise for you, hence the downvotes.

As a disclaimer, no I wasn't paid and have never been contacted before by Syncding, just a happy customer.
