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!
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.
