I've been using a personal instance of Dokuwiki for over a decade. It has coding tips in there, useful links, step by step guides on things I don't do often enough to commit to memory (like rare Git activities, bash commands, etc). It has my financial notes & savings goals. To-do lists and phone numbers. Drafts of articles I might write, form emails I use. Timesheets for projects I work on, technical & project documentation. Ideas for Xmas gifts for my kids, confirmation numbers for payments..... EVERYTHING.

Easy to edit. Easy to backup. Easy to search. It's like an extension of my brain. Lol

And since I self-host it, I own my data, won't get a surprise paywall & no ads or sales pressure.
