Post by G.K.1. documentation ?
Manpages or PDFs.
Post by G.K.2. raw text data ?
I can't figure out what this is asking. Isn't the only type .txt?
Post by G.K.3. message archiving ?
I guess whatever Thunderbird does? I'm not certain what this means.
A simple newline-split list can work well for a lot of things. But if i
need something more complicated, i'd probably use JSON.
Post by G.K.5. collections of the above, archived, indexed, or otherwise ?
Directories or folders :P.
Post by G.K.6. large data stores ?
Usually if i need to do that, i'll put it in a compressed tarball.
Post by G.K.7. brainstorms ? > 8. outlines ?
9. snippets ?
I don't usually keep these digitally. I usually write them down in a
little notebook i carry.
Post by G.K.What are your preferred compression formats and why?
âFor me, the highest priorities are losslessness and the compression
ratioâi've never run into a situation where the slowness of an algorithm
has outweighed these. Some kinds of files have speciallyâdesigned _de
facto_-standard compression schemes (e.g. PNG for images, FLAC for
audio, etc.), but for general stuff i use .xz because i've heard that it
has the highest compression ratio, which my personal experience has
corroborated.

Apologies if this message got encoded into octoctal. Blame Thunderbird
for not behaving correctly with Unicode and PGP.
