Thanks... but I wanted advice from a wizard, not one of their electric golems

As far as Linux and free software are concerned, I am one of the wizards. LLMs won't go away. The question is how you use them. The knowledge they contain far surpasses mine. I ask good questions and extract the knowledge I can use.

As the 'wizard' in this little tale, I can't really expand on what the golem has suggested, if self-hosted and open source is what you're after. They seem like solid suggestions as a starting point.

My experience is more in the 'enterprise' realm, dealing with tools like SharePoint or Oracle Webcenter - neither of which I would recommend. Ever. To anyone. Even if I hate them.

For my personal IKM needs I'm more focused on notes and relationships between concepts, and less on documents. I'm quite liking Obsidian, which I've switched to recently after giving up on Evernote.

Oracle

My condolences. Oracle kill squad is dispatched to your location. Please indicate your next of kin for the future lawsuit.
