You’re not alone and your not too old. I’m 31 and I’m getting pretty tired of things changing all of the time. So the other day I set up an instance of phpBB for my own private use. A forum for just one person? Yes! I’m experimenting with using a completely vanilla install of phpBB without plugins or anything (did change the theme to one that I liked better than the default theme though), to organize my own notes because: 1. The bulletin board model of different forum categories for different topics make things organizable while not going overboard with the organizing. 2. The bump mechanism makes keeping track of current concerns easy by posting in the respective threads. Old stuff on little interes naturally fade into the background without any kind of manual effort. 3. It is searchable. 4. It’s open source and self-hosted, and it’s been battle tested for years. It’s far from perfect but it’s stable and I could probably run it for ever. 5. I’m making it available over my VPN only. I can use it in the browser of any of my own devices as these are all part of my personal WireGuard VPN. Meanwhile, because it’s not reachable from the wider net my install of phpBB is not gonna get trivially pwned.
