Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.
This is not debate club. Unless it’s amusing debate.

what are you folks doing for/with bookmarking? I've killed my usage of pinboard because I learned the dude's going off the deep end
already found a couple of the link* flavoured open source things, but looking for some practical/lived feedback
I honestly just use browser bookmarks. That’s always been enough for me. Firefox can sync them too, so that takes care of backups as well.
For anything that needs special attention, I create a todo item with the link in org-mode.
fair 'nuff
I keep finding myself in a position of thinking "bah imma have to write this myself, aren't I", because nothing I've found as yet actually works the way I want things to work :|
About a year ago I exported my bookmarks from there and dropped them in a self-hosted instance of linkding (using the recipe that puts it on fly.io with backups to b2). It works like a charm.
Yeah found that, unfortunately it’s js-ware so I refuse to put my data near it
(that’s very much a me thing, but a thing nonetheless)
Hm, what do you mean by js-ware? That its front end uses JavaScript libraries? I guess, fair. Backend is python though (:
As a stunt (when I was unhappy with the previous linkding frontend), a pal and I wrote https://github.com/lz-bookmarks/lz, which is basically just linkding without the useful api and frontend (which is rust+webassembly, lol). Has a decent cli though, and interlinking between bookmarks and other URLs.
yeah I despise the entire modern js ecosystem, so anything that increases my risk of even having to think the letters
n p m
starts making my trigger finger itch (and in this case, that’d happen if I wanted to do UI tweaks or whatever)of all the things I found so far linkding has appeared to be the least rabid. lz sounds like a neat experiment, will check it out :)
Do you actually need to share your bookmarks? I found that bookmarks in Firefox and an RSS reader hosted on my nextcloud are enough for personal use.
the sharing part of it is indeed the thing I give the fewest shits about tbh. things I care more about are software choices and longevity. so, for example, fuck anything js/php - by and large those tend to be unserious software that'll be a nightmare to run even now, and even worse in time
I should probably do a bit of a sketchdown of the exact shape of my desires here, if for nothing else than giving direction to whatever I may have to write myself. a friend and I have been mutually grumping about this in chat for a while, because our wants are quite close but also just different enough to bounce ideas off each other
Oh no, what happened to that dude? He seemed fairly sane from his blog.

Oh no, what the hell. I found his personal Twitter, which has nothing from the last few years, but I didn't realize he was using his company's Twitter to defend JK Rowling. Eurgh!
ja. I’d unfollowed him in the lead-up to 2020 because US election shit gets noisy enough as it is (and holy fuck did he make it worse), then killed off my twitter usage so I just didn’t see this before
but straight nope from me on that shit
