I don't record things I don't want lawyers to see at all...

I keep all my email, I take screenshots of completed online
transactions and record significant old-style purchases in a receipts
database. I have directories for clients and all the government rubbish.
That takes care of almost all my record-keeping needs. But occasionally
something happens which isn't any of these things. I can indeed just
keep a text file and add to it, but why do that when I have an SQL
database manager online at all times?

I didn't mention it, but I'd like these records to be available
remotely over ssh, which basically means TCP and no routing, which fits
nicely with MySQL/MariaDB. If I use a simple file, or something
web-based, I need OpenVPN for access, which like many Linux
applications, works perfectly some of the time.
