Ask HN: How Do You Utilize Your Personal Knowledge Base?
I started using Foam[0] a few years ago, but the more I used it, the more I dropped all the tedious bits, and it became nothing more than a big, evolving markdown repo.
When I switched from vscode (back) to vim, it has worked as well or better than it did before. I follow my own rules. I like the Zettelkasten idea of one idea per card, but if I put more related things in the same .md file, that's OK. I didn't like the flat directory structure, and so I have dirs organized by category. My /bar directory is inside my /cooking directory, and for whatever reason, that makes sense to me. Ripgrep doesn't care, and I always find what I'm looking for.
This markdown hierarchy, that still lives in a repo called "foam", has become indispensable to me.

How would you read your files if Obsidian disappeared?
Probably use foam https://github.com/foambubble/foam

How do you guys document all the technical stuff of your selfhosted servers?
I used to bullet journal but pen and paper notes aren't searchable so I use FOAM for knowledge management, it's a vscode plugin that turns simple markdown into a great connected graph of notes.
So I switched to FOAM and it's just clean & organized markdown files in a git repo. Self host a code server instance and I can reference it without installing something to the work machine.

The 1st APP that you open each day?
Recently I started to configure my digital garden. Foam is a good option, Hugo Doks, No Style Please, Git-Wiki, Researcher, Thinkspace, and other themes are good for zetteltasken pages.

Silver Bullet: Markdown-based extensible open source personal knowledge platform
Since the data store is markdown and can be synced with Git, you can already work with an Obsidian vault using Foam in VSCode. I do.
You do need to align some options in each, such as file naming, a header, a particular style of links, and ensure frontmatter behavior. All necessary settings exist.

https://github.com/foambubble/foam/issues/46
This supports basic static file and links functionality, not extended data tools etc., of course.

Tools for Thinking
Another two good Foam-like VSCode tools are Markdown Memo (https://github.com/svsool/vscode-memo) and Dendron.
I personally prefer vscode-memo to Foam. It doesn't have a graphical view, but there a couple other things it does really well.
What are some alternatives?
dendron - The personal knowledge management (PKM) tool that grows as you do!
logseq - A local-first, non-linear, outliner notebook for organizing and sharing your personal knowledge base. Use it to organize your todo list, to write your journals, or to record your unique life.
obsidian-mind-map - An Obsidian plugin for displaying markdown notes as mind maps using Markmap.
Trilium Notes - Build your personal knowledge base with Trilium Notes
org-roam - Rudimentary Roam replica with Org-mode
vscode-markdown-editor - A vscode extension to make your vscode become a full-featured WYSIWYG markdown editor
obsidian-export - Rust library and CLI to export an Obsidian vault to regular Markdown
athens - Athens is a knowledge graph for research and notetaking. Athens is open-source, private, extensible, and community-driven.
markdown-preview-enhanced - One of the 'BEST' markdown preview extensions for Atom editor!
awesome-dendron - A big list of Dendron docs, talks, tools, examples, articles, extensions, vaults, showcases, and more that the internet has to offer.
