I have a home lab, but my family and friends use it so it's semi-production.

I write changes and thoughts in notes by date. That's my entire organization system.

Usually "installed X because it does Y, but it's $DESCRIPTIVE_WORDS_HERE". Occasionally something like "TODO: fix LDAP upgrade to move off of Debian 11"

If I want to remember when the server froze for seemingly no reason last year, I just search.

When did I install X app? Search.
