    Something I wanted to add which is somewhat related to this is to teach your family about what you're doing and how things works. Last year my father died, he was the type of guy who would self host a lot of things including the family website as well as family photos. Luckily he didn't self host our email domains or else that would've been another thing to worry about (he used g suite). There was about 3/4 of a year from when he received a diagnosis until he died which was luckily plenty of time to transfer everything we needed over to hard drives we were familiar with and knew how to access. Although I think I'm technologically inclined, I don't know shit about linux hosting and if my father had died suddenly, there is no doubt it my mind that a lot of precious family photos would've been lost.

    Honestly never really realized there were dedicated applications for taking notes, I've just been using a discord server with only me in it, categorizing everything with text channels and pinning important things I wanted to remember. Probably not the best idea though considering if I ever lose access to my account whatever I wrote is gone forever. I think I'll make a change after reading some of the comments on here.

    On a side note, how is the funding looking like for tildes? I already donated on github as I don't mind paying if I plan on using tildes on the regular. I'm guessing that the funding at the moment seems fine as I haven't seen any posts about it but I've also only been on here for a couple days.

    I tried LSD a couple weeks ago for the first time, it felt very different from weed but other than enjoying certain types of music more I haven't had any lasting effects. I did however only do a medium dose at 75ug. I might need to do a bit more the next time I have time.

    I've been listening to a lot of Tame Impala and Glass Animals, ever since I tried psychedelics my music taste has taken a drastic turn into this genre (psychedelic rock?). Very much enjoying it.
