Project mention: How SingleFile Transformed My Obsidian Workflow | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-01-26That's interesting. I have been saving articles as PDF files, which is browser-independent, but useful just for search and reference, a nuisance to quote/copy-and-paste.
If I search only the computer, I don't get results from EBay and Amazon at the top. The idea of keeping the knowledge base separate from the primary notes is a good idea. In my case, that knowledge base is the file system, and the primary notes are whatever I choose.
When I was using Evernote, the inbox was the knowledge base and notebooks were the focus. I just had too many different potential projects going on to manage this well.
Looking to focus.
I'll revisit Firefox and SingleFile.

Project mention: My decade long, carefully maintained collection of 700+ handy web dev & design bookmarks. Delve in to my toolkit! | /r/webdev | 2023-05-14Sure! PHP makes it really simple. I use https://github.com/spatie/browsershot that just makes its way through a JSON feed of the links on a cronjob. I host a lot of stuff on a single VPS so its super flexible.

Project mention: Some might not see how much work is/was to maintain xorg server | news.ycombinator.com | 2023-11-29can also be used in non-KDE X11 desktop environments.
which doesn't really explicitly say much, and in fact the only tool I could find that claimed to be able to support everything was ksnip, which seems to work fine with wlroots but beyond that https://github.com/ksnip/ksnip#known-issues outlines the situation well enough; KDE is at least only temporarily broken, but GNOME isn't going to improve because GNOME did that on purpose. Now, that readme says you can use xdg-desktop-portal, but I have a GNOME+Wayland machine on hand, and I couldn't get it to actually work. I think what's supposed to happen is that every time I do a screenshot it prompts for permission, which I wanted to verify so I could complain that that was totally unreasonable, but what actually happens is that it just fails, which is... not better. Oh, and while searching for solutions to that I found flameshot, but that just refuses to even run. So... maybe someday the portal solution will work; in the meantime, I feel comfortable describing the situation as Wayland not having a uniform working way of taking screenshots.
[0] In particular, so we can avoid the situation from X11 where a load of drawing primitives are baked in that nobody has any use for anymore.
Project mention: TextSnatcher: Copy text from images, for the Linux Desktop | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-03-14The workflow feels a bit more polished (Though also not perfect) and the repo is still active.

I wish there was an alternative to the Internet Archive with collaborative curation. You share files and people who tag and sort them into albums can download them. And if it was federated it could be just as extensive as the Internet Archive by searching files on many instances at the same time. Sadly the closest thing are ArchiveBox and wayback which won't replace the Internet Archive.
Project mention: TextSnatcher: Copy text from images, for the Linux Desktop | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-03-14Just three hours ago I switched back to Linux after a few years on MacOS. The only thing missing was the amazing text copy tool I was using, "Rex" [1]. What a coincidence to see this post on the front page a few hours later!
Side note, what a breath of fresh air Gnome on Fedora is!

I currently have a DigitalOcean droplet that's hosting Zipline which is a web server to receive ShareX uploads and host them. It took a little bit of work to get it set up as I have absolutely zero experience with Docker, but now I had an image uploader.
