I frequently just email myself links to sites or articles I find helpful (usually some permalink to a specific comment buried deep in a thread that was the answer to some technical issue I had). There are probably close to a hundred of them now in my email. Do y’all have a more efficient / effective way to store these and some notes to self with them that won’t keep eating up inbox space? Also looking for a solution that isn’t OS specific, and accessible on any device via cloud-something. Solutions?

I bookmark them in Firefox and check to make sure the pages have been archived by the Wayback Machine.
A simple solution would be to load your links into a spreadsheet and make your notes in an adjacent cell.
Beyond that there are bookmark services and software: https://www.google.com/search?q=bookmarking+service&oq=bookmarking+service&gs_lcrp=EgZjaHJvbWUyBggAEEUYOTIGCAEQRRg80gEINDAyM2owajSoAgCwAgA&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8
Personally, I’m completely opposed to anything outside of my personal PCs keeping track of my browsing habits.
Looks like you want a bookmark manager, many self and cloud hosted alternatives exists, personally using Linkding! Some of them also support archiving which means they also save the content locally!
The storing of hyperlinks is fine and dandy as long as the site stays up
Saving the web page means you will always have it.
Rather than just mailing you the link you also could mail the text snippet too. A bit more work, but more robust into the future. If the respective site goes down you still have the critical information.
