Argh.

I have hundrets of bookmarks from a good handful of browser installations synched into Nextcloud Bookmarks (via Floccus).

I have several disparate bookmarks collections in browsers that can't sync to that (mostly tablet and phone).

I have a big notes.txt on my shell server with all sorts of short texts, config snippets, and bookmarks. Plus others elsewhere.

I have notes shoehorned into my Todo app (synced to SOGo).

...and I have no idea how and where to consolidate all that cruft.

@galaxis This is why I keep .txt as my go-to format.

1 line = 1 data entry.

Your notes.txt should be very short lived notes. Anything long-lived should be put into a personal wiki. I use a simple solution of git and adoc.

You should have a bookmarks.txt, 1 line = 1 bookmark.

Backup the txts once a day. That's all you'll ever need.

@indirection Tbh the notes file on my shell server works quite well for everywhere that has an ssh client and a keyboard. It's somewhat unwieldy with Termux on Android devices (even on the Blackberry, despite its keyboard), plus I don't really trust those systems enough to use them as ssh endpoint much. Maybe if I moved the notes.txt to a separate account in a container that doesn't have access to anything else or something...
