I hoard data. I've been using the Johnny Decimal system with the Dewey Decimal classes for the most part (100'000+ books and documents selectively saved on all subjects). I also have a more dynamic sections with articles, medias, and projects. These don't include libgen or similar collections. I use Recoll to index and search (https://www.lesbonscomptes.com/recoll/pages/index-recoll.html https://www.lesbonscomptes.com/recoll/pages/index-recoll.htm...). A few things I've noticed over the years: 1. I obviously don't read all of that stuff, but it's very satisfying to find useful information from an obscure book when looking for something. 2. I cannot find anymore online some of the documents and videos I've saved. So I think that's a win to have them locally, as long as what I'm keeping is potentially useful. 3. To find info, nothing works perfectly. That's why I'm making an effort to use descriptive and structured folders, good filenames (often followed by the original filename), and sometimes an additional text file as meta for context. Still, my bookmarks are a mess.
