Ask HN: Notes and Journal Backup Solutions

I’ve been using emacs orgmode with org-roam for my note taking for over a year now and I want to make sure my 1000+ notes won’t get lost.

Currently, I’m using rsync to a desktop that I’m treating like a server (no passkey auth, cert only), but that computer is going to be repurposed. I’m debating using GitHub (+1 for version control) but my notes contain personal info and contact info which I feel unsure about entrusting to GitHub.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.
