Pinboard [0] solves it for me. I tag all the interesting stories with "hackernews", so I can easily go back and search.

I noticed over the years that my use of Pinboard is very asymmetrical: I save several URLs every month, but retrieve at most a handful per year. But knowing that my memories are safely stored gives me peace of mind (and, just to be safe, I make a backup every year or so).

It's better to have a URL and not need, than to need a URL and not have it :)

I use org-protocol-capture[0] (in Emacs) along with Syncthing to push my .org files to all of my devices (including mobile). That way it's local but accessible from 'anywhere' (for me).
