Thread: My Journey to a Sovereign "Second Brain" (1/n)
Post 1: The Vision
Iām radically rebuilding my personal information management (#PIM) system. Moving away from fragmented apps toward a unified, plain-text, client-server architecture. The goal: absolute data sovereignty and a workflow that survives ADHD-induced "entropy." 1/n #Emacs #OrgMode #DigitalSovereignty
Post 2: The Architecture
The setup relies on a central engine for logic:
Logic Center: A dedicated server running a permanent Emacs instance.
Persistence: Strictly separated into a Git repo for text/logic and a 1TB storage box for binary archives.
Access: Clients (Notebook, GrapheneOS, Terminals) act as thin interfaces via SSH and WebDAV. 2/n
Post 3: The "Voit Method"
For document management, Iām implementing karls methodology to solve the "where did I put that?" problem:
Dirty Capture: Rapid ingest into a landing folder.
Phase 2 Batch: Automated processing using date2name and filetags.
Persistent Links: Using lfile links in Emacs that never break, even if files are moved within the 1TB archive. 3/n
i hope I understand it r8 @publicvoit
@marlinz Don't miss to take a look on #move2archive and #guesstargetfolder. It might help you as well.
Don't be too hard on yourself when it's not working perfectly well: https://karl-voit.at/Nobodys-PIM-is-perfect/ š
Absolut right. After 8 usw cases, and ideas today i Start with my idea of architecture and then I'll see if I simplified The complex for myself or if I complexed the simple š
