You asked why and I gave an explanation where the 27 downvotes came from. So I think there is some agreement within this lemmy about being offtopic.
If that bothers you too much I suggest focusing on something more productive, as I will do.

From the sidebar of this lemmy:
“A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don’t control.”
So its about self-hosting with certain qualities (not giving up privacy or lockin). Not about privacy in general.
Signal isnt selfhosted and does lock you in, albeit with a high reputation to not become evil.

Nothing to do with selfhosting

I am dutch and spend many an hour at the intersection of IT and Privacy … but this is the wrong community to advertise a local Signal group.

Another scenario would be all universities cooperate in one instance, like Surf does for all Dutch universities and colleges for vocational training.

Must admit, those fields are precisely the ones I use in my filenaming convention. Other DMS put that in their databases but alas that’s just trading one stack for another.
Other ones put it in XMP metadata of the pdf themselves. But I guess the work involved would be similar.

I don’t know.
- I don’t need formatting but it doesn’t get in the way either. So I am not bothered by it.
- Also pdf and especially PDF/A standard is widely used for archiving and compliance regulation.
- If you want text the same tactic goes: just export in bulk to txt instead of pdf
- Comment on Store (and access) old emails 10 months ago:
I had roughly the same goals ( archive search 2 decades of mail) but approached it completely different: I export every mail to PDF with a strict naming convention.
- Backend: No mailserver, just storage and backup for files.
- Search: based on filenames FSearch and Void tools Everything. I could use local indexing on pdf content.
- Frontend: a pdf viewer.

Also … not knowing you’re in a race is a sure way to lose it …
