I've been using Wallabag for articles I want to deal with later, with the Frigoligo app on iOS for offline reading. For bookmarks, I've been using the Floccus extension with the Ne…

I'm pretty close to OP's age, so pretty much within what most people would called middle aged (if lucky). Sometimes I do feel like time is sort of running out, not in a dramatic mi…

For simple notes, dispositions and braindumping, I use the mindmapping tool Freeplane. For longer or more structured notes, I use Obsidian or a self hosted Hedgedoc.

I'm currently looking into NICE DCV[1] from AWS after learning about it in a podcast with Michelle Brenner from Netflix.[2] My use case is on-prem, but it seems like this solution …
