Oh! thanks for the heads up!
I haven't been there since  a little while now,
so I might have missed the migration.

For that kind of notes, my servers usually have a /root/ChangeLog file where I document all the changes I've made,
and why I made them.
If anything goes wrong,
I read the latest entries in the ChangeLog and try to figure out what changes led to the possible consquences.

But I was referring to general tips like the usual commands,
the common command line options, the common configuration options...

For example, here's an imgur album[1] where I show my emacs cheat-sheet
in emacs itself
(I'm using emacs as the outliner software)


Best,
