Converting a web page to Org mode to include in my notes
There is an extension called Grasp which acts as a web clipper, you highlight the relevant part & add a tag. It's pretty great. But it only appends to a file. https://github.com/karlicoss/grasp

How to organize bookmarks using emacs?
I use grasp to capture links from the browser. It also captures any text you have selected on the page and you can add tags and a description.
- Ask HN: Does anybody still use bookmarking services?
- How do you curate your knowledge while browsing the web?

I centralize and distribute my bookmarks
I'm not using browser bookmarks anymore, instead I am just using plaintext files (org-mode in my case). When I want to make a bookmark I use grasp [0] to simply capture in in the 'links.org' file, possibly with some notes/selected text and tags. Now and then I would skim through this file, refile the most important/interesting things to other files, and put the rest into 'later.org' (things I might never look at again :) ). The upside is that bookmarks become alive this way, you can easily edit them, add more context, interlink, etc.
I also mirror saved items from other services (e.g. reddit/HN/twitter/instapaper) as plaintext org-mode files, via orger [1].
Then, all of this feeds into Promensia [0] [1], a tool I wrote that serves as a web browsing copilot and surfaces my bookmarks (or any relevant links, really) when I'm browsing.
That way I don't need to worry about spending too much time processing bookmarks and that I'd never read them, I can just read the most interesting stuff and the rest is searchable (so I use it as a knowledge base/personal search engine), and surfaces in my browser via Promnesia, so I can find out if I have some relevant information in my knowledge base without actively searching. I don't need to suffer from vendor lock-in (even if the service/tool is open, migration is always painful), I can just add another adapter to my system and feed it into Promnesia/Orger.

Phase II of "Opinions for developing a browser extension(Firefox)"
In tech terms, behind the scene, yes is complex, but in practical terms just see https://github.com/karlicoss/grasp/ :-)
- Need opinions regarding developing a browser extension(firefox) for taking notes from a webpage

How do you browse the Internet?
Grasp (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/grasp and https://beepb00p.xyz/grasp.html for the system/python listener) and Promnesia (https://beepb00p.xyz/promnesia.html) help me "import" quick bookmarks to org-mode (I can't use org-protocol with firejail, at least I have to tweak firejail and I never tried to do so). They demand a small effort (perhaps a quick python venv somewhere in the home to remain self-contained) but they are helpful.

How do you get feedback from your systems?
for reading, I'm currently trying to set up elfeed and come sort of capture like grasp. My idea is to use org-mode to also log those things (kinda) effortless.

LLMs and Programming in the first days of 2024
I see a lot of recommendations for kagi, but no mention of brave search - specifically the (beta) feature called “goggles”. Afaiu it’s a blend of kagi’s “lenses” and the site ranking in search results.
https://search.brave.com/help/goggles There is a list (search) of public goggles: https://search.brave.com/goggles
The goggles itself are just text files with basic syntax and can be hosted on e.g. github gist. (though you have to publish it to brave)
https://github.com/brave/goggles-quickstart/blob/main/goggle...
Tbh, I can’t really compare brave search to kagi, since I never used kagi (though I’m using Orion - webkit based browser from the same dev and love it). Afaik, brave search is using its own index, thus making the results somehow limited and inferior to kagis. Just wanted to throw some (free) alternative here that works for me. :)
* Note that Brave search, despite privacy oriented, is still ad funded and there was few controversies about brave’s (browser) privacy in the past. (if that’s relevant for you)

How to block websites from search results in Brave Search?
You are technically in control of it even if it is in Brave's servers, so, you can create, modify it and delete it. https://github.com/brave/goggles-quickstart
-
Reputable UL-focused backpacking blogs and resources?
I'm putting together a list of UL resources to ultimately become indexed and searchable (through Goggles). This index will be public and something that will hopefully be community maintained, but I'll just be getting it started for now.

Brave search goggle question
If you have some time, would you like to try to create such a Goggle? There are some instructions and examples as to how to do that here: https://github.com/brave/goggles-quickstart

Looking for a website blocker that works with Brave
If you talk about search results, well, Brave Search has goggles, you only need a github account and you can create your own list, so you can only get what you want.

Brave Search lets you remove Pinterest results and more
"Goggles are simple, self-contained text files which can be hosted in Github or Gitlab. These files contain instructions allowing you to tell Brave Search how you'd like your results to be ranked. You can target specific URL patterns (and, soon, website titles and other aspects of Web pages) and indicate how their ranking should be altered (e.g. boosted, downranked, or completely discarded from the results)." - https://github.com/brave/goggles-quickstart
Great to see a company protecting and empowering its users. I just tried it out myself. Very easy to implement (e.g., "Amazon-Excluded Search"). Thanks for sharing!

YaCy – your own search engine
If you haven't heard of [Brave Goggles](https://github.com/brave/goggles-quickstart) I highly recommend checking it out. Just being able to create the search index is a massive task, so being able to apply rules server-side to their "expanded recall set" will give you what most people building search engines want, which is to control the algorithm. We weren't able to do that until now since applying rules client-side doesn't work well on a small search result set.
Related: I created a tool to create Goggles using subreddits as a signal source for domains: [Narwhalizer](https://github.com/forcesunseen/narwhalizer)

Discussion Thread
And most important of all, anyone can create, apply and share their own rules (https://github.com/brave/goggles-quickstart). This means you can effectively implement your own web result ranking. For example you can give priority to websites you consider more trustworthy and remove the ones that have low-quality clickbait.
