Gonna get downvoted for this probably but I honestly don’t care. I’m so sick and tired of hearing all the negativity and attacks and unrealistic over-the-top doomsday scenarios, from both sides. Regardless of who won, life is going to continue on just fine. The full on meltdowns are getting so damn old and it’s just tiring.

Nope it is not…if I’m completely honest my archivebox instance feels like it could tip over and die if I go tweaking much stuff at any given time lol, but as long as it’s running and I don’t touch it it seems to run well.

My workflow might be sort of stupid lol but 98% of what I bookmark is more just for professional documentation or tutorials or personal research or handy links or etc. that I’ve come across. In other words, rarely locked behind login, and rarely critical. Half the time it’s helpful when sites go offline, but honestly half the time it just functions as if I ever Google search an issue I know I’ve seen before but can’t remember how to fix, then if I see a page I land on bookmarked already then I know it was a good help to me in the past…that sort of thing. Nothing crazy and I’m sure there are better processes out there, but it’s just a basic and simple process that works for me.

Sure, maybe that’s the intended purpose/workflow. I feel like back when I tried it there was something about the general workflow that I didn’t like, but honestly it could have just been something as simple as me and an “old habits die hard” sort of thing, lol. I’m honestly so engrained in the 'bookmark this for saving and the built-in cross-computer sync will make it available in a specific spot on each of the 3-4 PC’s I use all the time" that it could have just been that for me ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Archivebox gets my vote, only because despite how much I’d love to switch to Linkwarden there seems to be no viable way to schedule importing of something like bookmarks. With Archivebox, I can relatively easily set it up such that every night any new bookmarks I’ve added automagically get archived. This is works perfectly for my use case. I put a LW GitHub issue/request in for something similar a long while back but didn’t get any responses so I’m guessing that’s just not a priority…which is totally fine, it definitely seems to be great software if it fits your use case :)

LW definitely wins in the initial setup department without a doubt - I noticed that for the ~30 min or so I played around with it.

I totally agree - demo video I saw makes it look like it totally has both those features

I definitely would lean into your camp for sure. The demo video shows it previewing suggested renames before accepting, but I see your point and I definitely had the same initial reaction lol

This is the way lol

Excellent, I’ll check this out thank you!

Fwiw, you can do a manual HTML import at present…the thing I’m most curious about is the automated re-import as manually uploading every day or few days isn’t high on my list of desires hahaha :)

Hey there! Love what you’re doing with this project - it’s super cool! I did want to ask a question though as I raised a GitHub issue a while back but received no response - is there any chance that the ability to automatically import .HTML bookmark backup files might be added in the future?

My use case is that every night I have my Chrome bookmarks automatically exported to a folder on my NAS - and currently I use ArchiveBox to read that file and archive any newly added sites. While this works, ArchiveBox has at times been rather finicky for me at least over the years, and so I’d love a little cleaner and more functional alternative. I’m not sure if others would find value in this being an option, but just a thought!

Rofl this is great 😂

There was a study I read not too long ago that found the pre-movie anti piracy warning actually acted sort of reverse psychology on men, causing them to actually pirate more (as opposed to women). There have definitely been some gender-correlations in certain studies.

This. I made a similarly boneheaded mistake a few months back and lost a fair amount of stuff. Thankfully 95+% of it was ancient program files and such that gave me a good excuse to go through and make some much needed cleanup actually happen for once.

Make sure there is a warranty/decent return policy and test obviously as others have said…but I’ve bought more 3 and 4TB HGST drives than I care to admit and have very rarely had any issues. At the price you can find even larger TB sizes for I personally consider it worth the gamble for certain use cases.
