they don't want to do it as a hobby. they want to have other hobbies.

Hello I have also literally spent thousands of hours on the general topic of self hosting and related stuff such as linux, filesystems, networking, hardware, software etc etc. Yes, it is possible to be this stupid.
Here is my simple math:
2000 hours / 12 hour days = 167 days. I have been generally building up on this subject for about 10 years. And in COVID I had a lot of blocks of days where I was just at the computer. For more than 12 hours. I think I have easily spent more than 2000 hours.
I still have extremely rickety set up that mostly isn't doing any of the things I want. It's fine for me because I have learned a lot, have fun, and nothing is mission critical. If I had money/business that was reliant on this I would absolutely pay someone! That is just part of doing business. Especially if anyone else was at all reliant upon it. If I have employees or the work I do is important than it is only respectful and professional to swallow the costs to ensure it is done at quality. And even if its just for my own use, not everyone enjoys this stuff and still want to be free of google etc.
Everyone here reminds me of all the shitty landlords who do such a bad job of "fixing" things themselves instead of paying the going rate for a trade to come do it right and to code. Like 3 visits to install an interior doorknob and never getting it right. Like dude, just admit you aren't any good at installing doorknobs. And please don't go near the plumbing.
I agree the other comment is a bit crass and small minded. It sounds like a very painful situation.
But... for ten (10) years your wife is terrorized by a website on a specific day....? Sounds like it could have been mitigated no?
- don't go on facebook
- don't go to work (if your job intrinsically involves using facebook or you just can't resist it)
- have someone triage/screen your facebook on this specific day
delete/hide the post
my condolences to your wife for the loss of her father.
Should blocking a user still allow them to vote on your posts?
Yes
Otherwise it would be possible block all users who disagree with you to ensure 100% positive upvotes.
and gollygosh sweetheart why are you even in a situation to be looking at all this? 1x account downvoting you is totaly survivable. feel free to downvote me. :)
la lutte continue

fuck man, this silver bullet looks pretty cool. project is about 1.5 years old? i guess it's been longer than that since i investigated these kinds of tools

While you can use SilverBullet as a simple note taking application that stores notes in plain markdown files on disk, it becomes truly powerful in the hands of more technical power users. By leveraging metadata annotations, its Objects infrastructure, Live Queries and Live Templates, SilverBullet becomes a powerful end-user programming tool, enabling you to quickly develop various types of ad-hoc knowledge applications.
I have errands to run this weekend and I cannot spend the whole time immersed in this.
borg is fab; i don't think there is a mobile component tho?
restic iirc is complicated and more advanced
don't forget rsync which is sync but is the basis of various back up tools
best description I have ever read of syncthing. they should put this in their readme or about page. describes the pros & cons in an honest way. I've had all the problems you describe and will probably have them again in the future, be confounded, be frustrated.
I get (mostly) worry-free backups
except this; it's sync not back up. ;) but it is very backup-like and in some situations does the job as well or better than backups
I <3 syncthing nevertheless
does it support plain markdown?
IME joplin has its own format
I understood OP to be talking about mobile specifically. If there is a way to get the userstyles on mobile it's gotta be like 20 steps long. If someone could somehow wrap it all up in an easy package that would be one thing but idk if it's really a viable solution.
