You might wanna either backup %appdata%\Notepad++\backup\ or go to Settings->Preferences->Backup and change the directory into a folder that is already hitting your backups. Personally I have it aimed at a folder that is cloud synced (and that cloud has a local backup on my NAS).

You desperately need to add a Summary and split the text into paragraphs with some Headers
(or if that's too much work go for a short tl;dr in the bottom or top.)

I use n++ for fast notes that I might need later, such as quickly making a step-by-step instruction as I go along, and notepad as a glorified clipboard for stuff I don't want to be available later.
Having more than 100 notepad++ tabs would trigger the neat freak in me and force me to go through them all to save the important ones and delete the unneeded ones.

No need to download anything really.

  1. Go to System -> Optional features and verify that Notepad is listed and if it isn't add it.
  2. Go to Apps -> Advanced settings for apps -> App executions aliases and disable Notepad.
  3. Enjoy the classic notepad again.

Yeah, that sounds unreasonable. I guess I'll have to use yt-dlp more to backup videos I enjoy.

It only changes it so that you get your +5 choices if you have even one skill up in the category.
Without it the best way to play is to choose your main skills as Minor Skills and skills that are easy to avoid leveling up (and preferably easy to level up when you want to) as Major Skills to always get 3x +5 every level up.
With it you can let your character have major skills that you actively use during gameplay without gimping yourself.

Original is on GOG for 1/10th of the price too, tons of great mods to improve both graphics and gameplay.

A must have for me is the All Plus 5 mod so I don't feel forced to power game my starting skills.

A classic one would be to go for BG1 and BG2
Then either play the enhanced editions with EET or play the originals with Baldur's Gate Trilogy to allow you to play all three games as a singular campaign (as well as running BG1 in the same engine as BG2 if you go for the originals)

Half your age plus seven makes the gap smaller the younger you are.
20/2 + 7 = 17 or a 3 year gap
30/2 + 7 = 22 or an 8 year gap
40/2 + 7 = 27 or a 13 year gap

I'd say the link and an archive copy is good enough, though I definitely wouldn't mind proper referencing.

Options if it's to protect against local disasters such as fire:

  1. Having a NAS at a family member / friends house as a backup location for your NAS (over vpn) is an option. Works best if they also need an offsite backup with you being able to spare space for it on your NAS in return.
  2. Having at least two usb drives as backup locations for the NAS and rotated as often as you think necessary and having at least one stored offsite at a family member / friends house.
  3. Rent a proper 1U rack space in the city data centre and setup your own "cloud", definitely the most expensive option and total overkill if offsite backup is the only reason.

Personally I would probably go for option two and bring the usb drive with me for a weekly coffee with my parents, they'd enjoy the visit and I enjoy knowing that my backup isn't in the hands of Amazon. I'd go for option 1 if my internet was better.
