All fanboys are alike. I just find it ridiculous to think that only android users are aware of privacy issues. I’ve used both, currently run an iPhone but with end to end encryption turned on. Yet I know that not all things are private.

I got news for you. Google does this too. Have a great day.

Docusaurus. It supports markdown, and you can also use JavaScript if you like.

It’s not too complicated but you don’t get some things for free like with Synology. It require work to setup scripts for offsite backup for example whereas Synology has a backup app with a UI.

For storage, I used to run ZFS in a raidZ2 configuration. If you do this then I suggest having a cron job running a script that can alert you if the pool is unhealthy. This is again something that Synology does for free.

You could also look up trueNAS core and see if that’s something that fits for you.

I own a Synology NAS. It’ll be the first and last one I buy. When I need an upgrade I’ll go back to building my own again.
