A folder in dropbox, and Pinboard for bookmarks.

I mostly enter plaintext files by date and grep as needed. "tags" == "words in the file" for me, I make sure to stick a keyword somewhere if I really want to be able to find it by "tag". Related files go in folders named so they'll be adjacent to the file that references them. More specifics: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22279802

Works on every system, syncs any way I want, and I expect it to still work decades from now.

Bookmarks tho are currently just in Pinboard (I should fix that), in part because I mostly don't organize them - I use full-text search with the archival account. I have a pretty good memory for "I know a thing exists with this phrase / a couple words, I just don't remember the name", so that covers the vast majority of my retrieval needs.
