  • Floccus is what I use for bookmarks.

    Works across pretty much any browser and on Android (maybe iOS, I’m not sure). I’ve got it set up on my Synology NAS through webdav, and it’s been reliable.

    I do also use Linkwarden, but that’s more to collect web pages, and not just bookmark them. The archive feature is great, since it doesn’t rely on the page still being live to work.

    Linkwarden and Floccus are very different, IMO.








  • do you re-watch enough YT videos that you need to archive your subscriptions?

    Well, if I can get it working, I would much rather be watching via Jellyfin on my TV and not whatever crappy, privacy-invading, ad-shoving Youtube app I’m forced to use.

    But realistically, I want to keep some how-to / maintenance videos archived, because I’ve lost track of how many times they went “private” and can’t be accessed anymore. Some really niche product use/maintenance videos tend to disappear.

    I have no real interest in data hoarding vlogs or other crap. Just informational stuff.











  • Synology user running some docker containers.

    Very, very little maintenance. If there’s an update for something on docker, a simple click in the container manager, and it’s done. Yes, I can automate, but prefer to manually do these as many of the docker apps I use are in high development and I like to know what’s changing with each version.

    Synology packages update easily, and the system updates happen only once in a while. A click and reboot.

    I’ve tried to minimize things as much as possible, and to make things easier for me. One day, someone in my family will need to take over, and I don’t want to over-complicate things for them, lest they lose all our family photos, documents, etc.

    I probably spend more time keeping the fans on my actual NAS clean of dust, than I do maintain the software end of things. LOL
