My wiki is priceless

Today I think out loud about my wiki wiki.baty.net.

The wiki (built using TiddlyWiki) is chock full of old notes and ideas and journal entries. 3,674 of them since 2018, to be precise.

I need to remember this whenever I drift away from using it as a place for dumping links and quotes and conversations and anything else. Click the "random tiddler" link a few times. Wow, how fun!

Here's the thing: Emacs.

Once I started putting everything in Emacs, it no longer made sense to duplicate those things in TiddlyWiki. Except what I'm finding is that I prefer dropping little one-off notes in the wiki to creating a org-mode file using Denote in Emacs. And I also quite often prefer browsing and finding things in the wiki.

This is a problem. My system has grown to depend on everything being in my ~/org folder. Wiki stuff isn't. I don't think I care anymore. The stuff I put in the wiki is just as findable and future-proof, and it's potentually more valuable because I like using it there and it's also public so someone might find a helpful nugget or two.

I guess what I'm saying is that I'd like to go back to putting my notes that can be public in the wiki instead of org-mode. I'm not sure how to do that without re-introducing the where-do-I-write-this? dilemma.
