After MindGeek started complying with the Louisiana law earlier this year, the company said traffic dropped by 80 percent.

It’s literally in the linked article lol

Do you mean that you use a VNC connection to access your server UI? Or is there a way to host Obsidian as a true web app?

Does this work similar to Syncthing where it syncs the markdown files to the local file system? If so, that’s definitely helpful, but I’m trying to avoid saving/storing my personal notes on my work laptop. I’d rather access them through a web interface and avoid local storage (in certain use cases). Another example is where people can’t install custom software on work computers, so it’s helpful to have a non-Obsidian way to edit the files for those times.

Obsidian is great except for the times when you can’t sync your notes to a local file system (like on a work computer). Does anyone know of a self-hosted web app that’s effective for reading/editing the markdown files?

Related question on the local subnets - I currently have Tailscale set up on my home server, phone, and laptop. However, it’s a little annoying that apps on my phone (like Synology Drive) should reference local IPs when on my LAN and then Tailscale IPs when outside of my home. Would you recommend setting up an alternate device at home (like Raspberry Pi) to function as a subnet router for Tailscale so that I can just use my local IPs no matter where I am? Is there any benefit to installing Tailscale on every device vs using a single subnet router for the entire home network?

I use Home Assistant as well, but Apple HomeKit (and the new Matter protocol) can also be cloudless I think.
