[SFS] Note Taking - What do you recommend

[Chris Fedde]

I do three things:
I use google keep for shopping lists and other text facts.
I take lots of pictures and try to tag them.  Google saves them for me.
At work I use github issues and try to approach 100% tracking.  I use lots
of copy-n-paste white board photos, photos of "things" like server toe tags
and back panels. Then I  mix in markdown.  Issues become fodder for wiki
and wiki  become fodder for github pages.

by and large my goals are to remember stuff for years rather than to use
the cool new thing.  Losing years old notes because some cool ap went away
is a pain.


Oh.  I migrated all my personal codebases to gitlab.  Thanks to microsoft
for making it easy to make this choice.
