I’ve been using Zotero as my bookmark solution and it’s been amazing. I have not setup sync across different devices (or figured out how that would work), but being able to snapshot and page in time and have it forever has been a life saver.

I run proxmox on my server, VMs within that. It has an excellent backup service built in (not the proxmox backup server, that’s separate) that you can set a schedule for and it keeps to it. Very customizable, all my backups (tested monthly) have restored fine for the past few years. If you’re looking for something to run your homelab, I highly recommend it.

I’m going to say this now before anything happens: backup, backup, and backup. Make multiple copies, store them different places. Please dear god backup your data, because no one else will.

Be careful with “like new” claims. I’ve had people in the past pull that with me, and the drive had 8 years of time on it.

If possible, serverpartdeals.com has an excellent range of used drives. Stick with the manufacturer refurbished. They come with a good warranty and so far have been rock solid for me (5 year timeframe).
