I tag and archive rendered copies of bookmarks in browsers with https://pinboard.in<https://pinboard.in/>. I pay for the archiving service every couple of years.

It also archives automatically from favorites I mark in my Twitter feeds. For browsers, I sign in with my pinboard API key on extensions like "Pinboard Plus" (in Chromium/Chrome) and "Pinboard Pin" (Firefox).

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.

Howdy all,

Figured I would put this one out there, because I know there has got to be a better way.

--- DOING THINGS THE WRONG WAY ---
When I find something I want/need/want to save for later, say, on the internet, most of the times, I will end up copy&pasting the URL, and emailing it to myself.

I'm curious what people on this list do. Do you guys use something like Google Keep, Evernote, (other somewhat related programs), or what do you guys recommend for "taking" and the most important part, "keeping" notes on stuff you found?

I like the content to be searchable, which gmail will do; I like to be able to see the content "from anywhere", meaning my phone, computer, or laptop. I like it to be "easy to get to" email hits and misses in this area.

Curious to see what you all use.
