A self-hosted second brain

I run my own knowledge management stack. I built a system for information ingestion, indexing, and retrieval — handwritten notes, reading captures, a research library of tens of thousands of items — on hardware I own, queryable by an LLM with citations back to source. Infrastructure as part of the research practice, not just a place to store its output.
