Friend 1: do you like dark humour? Friend 2 : yes. Frind 1: How dark is your humour? Friend 2: it picks cotton.

Interface tailoring, desktop tapestry, jamming all up in my pazaaz.

I have been through many setups, almost started using Markour... But then something about bullet journaling and the pen/paper relationship just had a magical touch to it.... Then almost bought supernote.... Then actually bought Boox Go 10.3... And I do my journaling BuJo style, my manga and book reading, and some writing with Bluetooth Logitech keys to go on it. You could sync to cloud but I kinda use it as a paper notebook and reader/writer so I keep my backups local. Might do PDF backups to one of the clouds, they give you some options. But then again, a lot of my handwritten things get OCR/written into a document anyway... And after a year is done I rarely go back to the same diary anyway. And the important ones I save as PDF anyway..
This kinda setup is working for me so far. You might be different.... As we all are.
