I used to keep a few plain text files for such tidbits, broadly and generally grouped by topic. "work.txt" "programming.txt" "hobbies.txt", etc.
Now, those have been mostly replaced by similarly named folders and I just use wget to save pages & their files into the appropriate category.
The text files still hang around though for little chunks of interesting code, part names/numbers, references, and similar tidbits that do not need any media to go with them.
Occasionally I start new ones, as interests change. When I do, the old files get renamed or deleted. I've got various "notes" text files going back 20+ years, and because they're in plain text files (or html + images), I don't have to worry about services shutting down, proprietary formats changing, etc. It's a system that has been working very well for me, and I don't see any need to change it.
However, I do recognize that this works for me because I do not use a bunch of different devices, so I don't care about syncing, or using my method from mobile devices, etc. If you have those use cases, you'll very likely be happier with something else.
