Well, I’ve settled for Joplin with their sync server running on Tailscale/Headscale, I like it a lot (except for the search which is atrocious in general and on mobile especially).
But silverbullet.md IS foss. Very similar to Obsidian, but F/OSS. It also stores your files in .md files in a directory hierarchy on the file system - very easy to backup.
Its in a database, but you can have it dump a backup as plain text, though that may require a plug in.
Actually it may be an option. I use Onedrive as the backend for sync on mine, with encryption, and I beleive its all individual notes, (all encryoted).
I should check Joplin again against Obsidian. Just browsed their website and it’s a bit sad to see their sponsors mostly doing shady stuff. Buying TikTok likes or getting help writing essays for university aren’t quite the fields i would have liked to be associated with as a product

+1 for Joplin, you can sync with self hosted stuff too:
Are the notes stored in plain text files or in a database? Is it possible / easy to edit the notes with an external program?
They’re stored in a database, which is why I prefer Obsidian instead.
Obsidian isn’t foss unfortunately

But at least not US made, it’s Canadian.

You can do both iirc
