Problem I have, is, after I finish tinkering and settle down with my computer for some days/months, then even anything needs fixing or changing I've forgotten how I do it!

Now you have got a good excuse to setup something to manage your knowledge base.

I recommend markdown:

  • frequently_encountered_issues.md
  • lots of helper scripts scripts
  • Setup guides mostly taken from their respective arch wiki pages but stripped down to only show my custom setup
  • a markdown file per os per machine
  • etc
  • Also link back to the original resources. Still copy them though. The internet is temporary.

I have a collection of org-mode files and plain text. Moved more to markdown but not for my setup notes yet. But it's still a lot of brain work to match the pieces together and remember what matters.

Now, I neat idea I heard recently: run a local llm that can index your own notes. I don't know how easy that is. There's an Emacs mode for that, right?

Sounds like a cool idea. I will add it to my selfhost list.

I still rely on openai for my llm needs but soon I will evaluate more private and self hosted solutions.

There probably is. Though I myself use nano (root permissions) and vscode.

I can relate, and it hurts that I can.
