Anyone know of self-hostable alternatives for this sort of service? I have never used Evernote or OneNote but always been intruguied.
I love Quiver - no mobile app yet but amazing UI and format.

#22an alternative could be google keep, really great with multiple devices and you can pin important notes too

#23I'm less addicted to evernote itself than to its web clipper. I have things clipped in evernote from years ago that no longer exist anywhere else and that includes the wayback machine. It could be stored in markdown files that I search using grep for all I care.

Indeed. This is the killer feature for me. I learned my lesson in the past by just storing URLs which later point to nothing.
The EN web clipper is impressively good, and until I find a replacement I'll have to stay with EN.

#25A big reason to move for some people (that is not mentioned in the article, but is detailed in another Lifehacker post), is that they have updated their EULA such that end-user data is now accessible to Evernote employees "for machine learning reasons", and it seems it's not possible to entirely opt out of it...

#26Earlier quoted context omitted.
I use org-mode with Syncthing. It's imperfect, but it's still pretty great — and I own all of my data, which is important.
Started to use org-mode recently after seeing its features. Do you have guides you'd recommend for someone learning emacs and org-mode?
It's not really a guide, but I strongly recommend newcomers take a look at emacs prelude (https://github.com/bbatsov/prelude), which is a really good starter kit. I recommend turning guru-mode off (AFAICT its only use is to holler at you to use C-n instead of down-arrow), and turning helm on everywhere.
I know a lot of folks really like spacemacs — I'm not a fan of the vi keybindings, or of its version of emacs-style keybindings, but regardless it's a really well-made emacs starter kit.

I've been using QOwnNotes [0] for a while now, and while it's not quite a drop-in replacement for Evernote yet (there's no web clipper and the mobile apps are a bit rubbish), the pace of development is really impressive.

#29Well, people are still using Google services. Why is this any different??

There are good web clippers from most vendors (Notebook, OneNote, Keep etc). Did you try them?
