Self-hosting services has been a life-changer. And I thank this community for helping me a lot recently. Not only did I learn a lot more about linux, network and docker, but it helped me understand better how platforms and advertising just f*cked up the internet I grew up with.
But I wonder: do any of you hate how self-hosting services like photo- or document-management systems, or even a simple rss tool, forces you to sort your stuff out, and put your decades old files in order?!
I’m in the process of migrating my web browser bookmarks to linkding because it’s a GREAT tool. But I have like 2k websites to manualy check wether they’re still there, wonder at how cool they still are, tag properly and archive with SingleFile!
And that’s just ONE service…
That’s why I don’t go back and reorganize old bookmarks. I just start fresh every time.
This is what I do. I keep the old ones around for a while, and every time I realize that I’m not missing anything, and delete them.
Worst case, I’ll have to root around in my backups. But it has never happened wrt browser bookmarks.
I don’t think I’ve even used bookmarks since Vista.
