I have both on-site and off-site backups; I have no desire to put personal information of that sort on anyone's web server.
The Johnny decimal system is a handy way to organize these type of life admin documents. Can be used with any service since it's just a concept.
I've also started using it as my personal task/time management system, which is probably crazy. 13.25 Tasks--Inbox, 13.26 Tasks--Today, 13.27 Tasks--Closed, etc. I just make a file for every task and move the files through the process.

How does Tailscale get you the syno files on your phone?
I'm not OP but I'm using the same. Setting up file and network sharing using Tailscales DNS service is trivial. https://tailscale.com/kb/1054/dns/
So instead of opening ports and stuff like that, I can just securely go to https://mynas:12345/ (port of my paperless instance) and I'm in there.
1. Buy a Fujitsu ScanSnap.
2. Buy a wall mounted folder rack (something like this: https://www.amazon.com/Klickpick-Office-Organizer-Multipurpo...) and mount it near the scanner.
3. All paper, put in the folder when it comes in.
4. Once a week, scan everything in the folders. Scanner turns paper into OCR'd PDF.
5. Set the scanner to scan to a Dropbox folder.
6. I name my files YYYY.MM.DD_Organization_DocTitle. The rest can be searched for since it's OCR'd.

Is laminating faster than making a copy? I woulda thought the opposite
I think the joke was the fact that lamination involves significant heat, which would immediately destroy the thermal receipts. Thus speeding up their destruction, not their copying.
I just scan everything into a folder on iCloud Drive with SwiftScan (which also does OCR) and use macOS and iOS Spotlight to find stuff. Seems to work pretty well. I have to refer to receipts in it all the time.
