I like this... right now I'm using a ras pi 3 or 4 as a file server and it seems to mostly work?

I have used perkeep. I still do at least in theory. I love the concept of it but it’s become… not quite abandonware, but it never gained enough traction to really take on a full life of its own before the primary author moved on. A bit of a tragedy because the basic idea is pretty compelling.

I don't really understand the goal here. It feels like "wouldn't it be nice if instead of organizing a library, we just kept all of the information in a giant unsorted pile of looseleaf paper?"

How is this better then a filesystem with automated replication?

And here I'm still looking for a way, with one click, to create an offline backup of the webpages each of my bookmarks points to. Such that the offline version looks and works exactly like the online version in (say) Google Chrome (e.g. the CTRL+F feature works fine).

At first glance, this looks like way too much to trust in the long run. I use git-annex since roughly 10 years to archive files I don't want to loose again. Does everything I want, and is pretty simple for what it gives me. A checksum for every file, replication on a file-basis, does not dictate the underlying filesystem I use. Full syncs are rather slow, but in reality, it doesn't really matter if I have to wait 3 hours or 2 days, just let it run in the background and do its thing.
