For the past two or so years, I have been contemplating about setting up a personal wiki for myself in order to have a central place for documentation of personal things that only lives in my head (if at all). I would love to hear about your experiences and practices! What software do you use? Is it publicly accessible? How is it structured?
I do something similar to this.
I’m pretty basic; I just use Obsidian (everything is markdown), and a PARA folder system for data intake (Projects, Areas, Resources, Archives).
The majority of the good stuff, if it makes it there before deletion, lives in Resources and Archives.
Additionally - and I know AI is controversial and a huge hype-train right now - I’m using my Obsidian archive to feed a RAG setup with a locally-hosted LLAMA instance. With mixed results so far, but I’m still learning. The goal is to have a working chatbot instance informed by my own data that can function as a queryable “second brain.”
I’m sure this could be done with mainstream LLM tooling, more easily and with better results, but I do not trust these companies with my data, so fuck that. Local or not at all.
