Joplin.
I tried more involved approaches like knowledge graphs and wikis but found I spent more time researching and setting up these things than actually using them.
The simplest way for me to store and retrieve info I need is to be able to dump it into a .md and search over everything.
I do like the idea of having a personal wiki, but right now I don't have enough depth of information to warrant the transfer. Anything that I need in depth information is usually already in a wiki somewhere, so I don't really see the point in duplicating the information.
