Right, any knowledge not in Org-mode is not really knowledge.

Yes, I have been using org-mode for task management for over a decade, enjoying all the advantages of plain text.

#13This reminds me of the dead simple .LOG feature in notepad:

#14I too save information that may have future value in a textfile. I too am managing knowledge!
Let's all submit blog posts about our notes files and see how many HN front pages we can fill.

#15I just use Logseq (+ syncthing for sync) with extensive tagging (thousands of tags added a year) + a random Pomodora app that keeps records and descriptions of each Pomadora. Simple and effective
How do you manage having thousands of tags? What is your use case? I quite quickly moved away from them because I couldn't have a strict/normalised system for it. E.g., I would end up with #a, #as, # , #parent/as, etc. After a while of this, it would either reduce to nothing better than keyword search, or the effort of keeping track of existing tags and the "right" tags would prevent me from tagging at all.
Well I try to make sure each topic/page has a unique tag, and then I tag keywords within that. So within a page I will tag with consistent generalizable tags like #docker, #blog, #security, #auth and then underneath those I will have more specific tags like #repository_name #author_name #equipment_name.
Its more of a tiered tagging style where there are more generalizable tags are parents of more specialised tags.
It might not be the best for everyone but my brain works well with it. I can usually derive what the parent tag would be from whatever topic I'm searching back up and then find the children notes/tags from there.
It is essentially keyword search that just somewhat organized.

#16I like the idea of a stream of knowledge in one file, I usually used the Saved Messages in Telegram for that.
I'd rather use Markdown though, for the formatting capabilities alone.

Apart from the funny timestamps (two-digit years ´༎ຶД༎ຶ), his files more or less are in org-mode already :-)

#18I have been using Gollum[1] for git based wiki. Impressed so far with its simplicity.

Re: My simple knowledge management and time tracking system
#19It starts to become a burden to open these files to make entries, so you create a terminal alias to do it. Then writing the entries becomes tedious so you make a macro to write a timestamp and put you in edit mode so you can just start typing the entry. Then you move computers and it gets tiresome moving the files around.

I do basically the same with Zim Desktop Wiki, just with only hundreds of tags ;)
