Thanks for mentioning SingleFile. I’m not using it right now.
The workflow with linkding and the linkding injector is gold.
2k bookmarks? i would just automate the process of saving each of them locally and just forget it lol. if it's somehow needed later search on the older archive
Isn't that the goal? If you have an old drawer full of unorganized stuff, implementing a selfhosted management tool is getting an organizer and thinking about how to fill it, but you still have to sort your stuff in.
The only selfhosted thing where I really have to re-organize is my documents in paperless but I'm so glad to finally have it all organized and searchable instead of some hot mess of an inconsistent folder structure.
I'm in the long process of paperlessing. It's THE perfect example of that (not so) hidden cost. But there's no lying or trying to sell you magic. You put effort in a systematization that empowered by a great tool and a well thought out and tried model, and voila, winning.

Thinking back on your rhetorical question, I think it's just it.
It's the goal. The goal was always to try and make me think that I am not just simply taking care of my stuff (and by extension myself). Because taking care (of yourself) isn't valorized in a capitalist society.
Fuck it all. I'm putting YEARS of work into just sorting myself out.
Can't you use a script for that? There is a method to bulk import into linkding from Firefox and a REST API for linkding that allows you to remove all expired links.
Yes and no. A lot of sorting and optimizing processes can be done via scripts. For example, I had chatgpt generate one that finds audio streams in videos that are not in the language I need. Manual verification and then let another script remove the remaining lists streams that I don't need.

I didn't move shit haha. Dumped OneDrive onto the Nas and mounted it for next cloud, I didn't even clean out the photos, which I copied into immich. I did move some ebooks, but that was very few things that I have
You could use an llm with an mcp to the local filesystem and hope it can do it for you
Or I could not. Ever.
I know there is all of that AI hate, which i'm all for. But taking models to run locally does not benefit the AI companies. If anything this is the way to make something that is actually good out of that hot mess.
Idk. My folders are always decently organized since I've been nutty about since I was a kid, but the specific file structures different services can demand is a headache. This is why I prefer more simplistic services without a database, but there's always trade-offs to be had with both options.
I'm a bit split on it, but I do agree that it can be annoying and when you mess up, services and links you've sent to other people don't work and it can be quite agonizing. It'll probably get better for me as time goes on, but man it can bite at times.
