Learn, host, experience. We use home servers to build a lab, run various solutions to learn how the software works (prepare for a certification), to host/serve services for private/home use. https://github.com/kahun/awesome-sysadmin is another link to share.

You can implement all this using open source elements. Here's a nice list of things you could use to deploy these.

Virtualize your home server by using XCP-NG, Proxmox, VMware ESXi, or any Linux with KVM/QEMU. With the hypervisor, you can host many other services aside to home NAS, such as Plex, Pihole, HomeAssistant, etc. More services to run you can find at https://github.com/awesome-selfhosted/awesome-selfhosted and https://github.com/kahun/awesome-sysadmin

Not aware of running a Minecraft server (worth a try) but for sure you can host a website, file server (Nextcloud), VPN (Wireguard), and many other services from awesome-sysadmin and awesome-selfhosted you'd find useful serving for your home.

I've had great success with using Joplin for this, with Syncthing as a sync backend. Works well across OSes; I use it on Linux, macOS, Windows and Android.

The tools to manipulate SQL aren't that bad, no.

But rather than having a self explanatory markdown & flat file, now I have to start learning about the schema & making specific tools (in my preferred language) for manipulating Joplin's schema.

Suddenly I'm digging through 20 different technic specs to decode what data is where, how it works, and what I can do to it. Want to edit history? This is the best help you'll get, pray it's adequately technical to expedite you to your purpose: https://github.com/laurent22/joplin/blob/dev/readme/dev/spec...

As I began with, I struggle to imagine anything that generates anywhere near as much user agency as flat files and markdown. Having boring common data & systems lets me apply portable skills I already have, rather than having to skill up in some particular product's own ecosystem.

Joplin is a good open source option too, feels more like the original Evernote in terms of UI/UX https://github.com/laurent22/joplin/

Joplin, an open source, extendable, Markdown-based hierarchical note-taking app: https://joplinapp.org/

It lets you choose a synchronization backend, offers applications for every major desktop and mobile OS (also has a terminal version). You can create notebooks and subnotebooks to organize your notes. You can also add tags for better search experience. I created notebooks for specific domains (work-related, home improvement, etc.) and also keep a "temp" for quick notes and W.I.P. snippets.

Its only con that it uses Electron on desktop which causes relatively slow start of the application.
