I use Emacs org mode capture and syncthing and org-protocol via Firefox.

On a page that I think may be useful I click a menu item in firefox which activates org-protocol sending the URL to an Emacs server, starting Emacs if needed. Emacs prompts me for some tags and then makes an entry in an org file which I sync to all my computers, home and work, via syncthing. I'll then either simply close the Emacs frame or if appropriate leave it open while I read through the page and add notes to the org entry. Later, if I have reason to revisit then I'll search on terms my brain is able to associate and that hits on the tags, text or page title that were stored.

Scripts and configuration are propagated to different computers using Git via a personal Gitea instance and vcsh/myrepo tools.

That's a great setup! Would you mind sharing your scripts and configurations?
