For the last year I went all in on Notion for documentation and absolutely love it - but I don't love that unless I pay, then I'm the product just as much.

With LLMs/AI (Claude specifically), I wanted my knowledge to essentially become a live/update RAG system - something isn't just a static repository of the current state of things, but a mechanism to build insights, efficiencies and improvements.

To that end I've been running Obsidian as a synced vault that Claude can read/write as part of a distributed context management system (note: I should fully trademark that! CMS! ;) )

I deliberately sliced out the "Home Network" documentation from Notion as this made the most sense for systems that were in flux - so now I'm thinking (and Claude agrees) that a self hosted Github clone (leaning towards Forgejo at this point) makes more sense - still maintains markdown, segments applications - changes/history/issues/documentation - and provides versioning vs a messy change log.

Writing this as a human-prompt to remind me of how it turns out.

I _should_ have used this to reply to! https://chud.space/notice/B4qaZM1ZJC7XCPEeSu My social muscles are weeeeak!
