I setup https://paperless-ngx.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ with a Brother ads2800w scanner and I no longer have a pile of paper mail sitting by my desk. I just scan it, tag it in Paperless-ngx, and then shred it. I just pushed up my script here if anyone wants to give this a try:
I use mayanedms with a 2008 HP business scanner (with double sided ADF) I bought used for very cheap.
Can concur, it’s very convenient and satisfying to have hundreds of documents over the years archived, OCRed, and fully searchable. Reduced clutter drastically and I’ve never lost a paper again.

I will most likely move this to a Hashicorp Nomad job on my home server once I find the time.
