Show HN: Linkwarden – An open source collaborative bookmark manager
Hey there HN!
Meet Linkwarden, a fully self-hostable, open-source collaborative bookmark manager to collect, organize and archive webpages.

Please also visit/star our GitHub repo [1].

Linkwarden was built using TypeScript and NextJS, backed by a PostgreSQL database for the lighter-weight data. The rest of the data can be chosen either to be stored on the filesystem, or stored on the cloud on Digital Ocean Space/AWS S3, the reason for the cloud storage solution was for the Cloud offering [2], we realized that the preserved webpages (archives) take up space pretty quickly and S3 was much more efficient for this task. On the front-end we used TailwindCSS for styling and Zustand for state management.

You could either use our Cloud offering (with 14-day free trial) to directly support this project and experience Linkwarden, or you could self-host it on your own machine and have maximum flexibility.

Feel free if you had any questions, we'll do our best to answer it.

The world needs oil and gas.

100 million barrels of oil a day.

You know what’s far worse than oil and gas? Coal.

Someone posted this about coal this morning:

I can’t believe in 2023, we burn more coal than ever:

In the USA it is quite obvious that somewhere above 30% to below 40% have a strong punitive idea. I also know many people that speak in liberal terms but act in a punitive fashion in actual relations.

The issues are complex and it is easy to miss what the implementation of an idea looks like.
I don't think eInk will ever be capable of video-like refresh rates. It's had plenty of benefits, but refresh rates may never catch up.

I have a secondary monitor dedicated to Slack, Teams, and Outlook. That would be perfect for this as it doesn't update often and the content is mostly static.

Namecheap is horrible regarding legal threats and how they manage them.
In my experience, they threaten to shutdown domains with 24 hours notice if you do not respond to legal threats.
Although I avoided being shutdown, I almost didn't respond to such an email thinking the email from Namcecheap was spam.
I highly recommend avoiding Namecheap for business.

There's no federal sales tax, but if you're selling internationally, there can be border fees of various kinds. State sales taxes are nearly ubiquitous. Large cities or counties might have a sales-tax addition for local funding.

Special-purpose sales taxes exist, infrequently: hotels are probably most common.
I am honestly not sure that is the reason for the downvote but I don't really give a shit. HN is a weird place.

In past attempts to discuss this, the conversation was typically driven into "if it can't be perfect, why even try" kinds of rhetoric. The primary criticism being that you can still use some sort of vision AI/robot to cheat to some degree. My counterargument is that there exist systems beyond deterministic DRM approaches that can be blended in to make it effectively perfect for all practical purposes. Statistical analysis (aka you might be cheating) combined with dynamic active canaries (i.e. fake, 2-frame targets you bait the bot into aiming at) can solve the problem really well. You could put statistical bounds around the likelihood of fair play that look like IBM mainframe uptime figures.

The only other reasons I'd expect downvotes: Extreme principled ideologies (aka no DRM ever no matter what I don't care). Or, those who are actually cheating at video games and can't imagine a world where they'd be forced to bust their ass to get ahead at something.

Note that real prediction markets with money are currently illegal in the US because of some legacy law. So Polymarket (currently the major prediction market I believe) is only usable outside the US anyway.

Currently the only US alternative is play money. Manifold and Metaculus use this system. Metaculus doesn't really use play "money", but a non-zero-sum system to award points for more accurate predictions. It's in both cases a game and an exercise in checking how well-calibrated your beliefs about the future are.

And here is the canonical FAQ on prediction markets, and the social/policy benefits they could have:

I've never understood why anyone would take a flu shot. What is so bad about catching a flu? Yeah, yeah, you've probably got a horror story to tell about the last time you caught the flu. Poor you. I haven't taken a shot for anything for over 40 years. Not going to start anytime soon. Especially since we now know that this stuff is poison. Before, we could only suspect it. Now we know for sure. Just take some vit C. You'll be fine.

E-Ink can achieve “real color” better than LED / LCD for design that is used in non electronic mediums.

Also glare. The eye strain on e-ink is much less than that of LED / LCD displays.

How would you construct such a knowledge barrier? Another prediction market?

Also, suggesting that there is such a thing as 'smart' money - presumably due to having more of it? - is amusing. As pointed out elsewhere in this discussion, there has been a lot of smart money acting particularly dumb over the last few years.

Right, this and BTC both, although Amaury's proposal was less insultingly stupid than the proposal that split BTC (I require an 8% of the coinbase donation to continue optimising this chain vs I require this chain be completely dysfunctional and useless, and force the intermediaries back into it for it to be of any utility at all, when the entire original purpose of the ledger was to disintermediate them)

The global consistency of some of these franchises really comes in handy.

That was always the secret to McDonald's success.

There were plenty of hamburger joints along America's roadways when McDonald's started. But what McDonald's did is to provide a consistent experience.

The food may or may not not have been as good, but you knew exactly what to expect, which was a massive improvement over the way it was before when the price, quality, service and other things varied widely.

I heard a program about it on the radio several decades ago, and there's an entire economic theory about it, and it's the basis of modern franchising.

> cut off a lot of areas I was enjoying working in and removed my room for growth

These are legitimate concerns.

For the latter, if something pairs more with your interests, it is far more likely to make you feel more content personally and professionally. Especially if you enjoy hands on working over being in a leadership/ managerial position, it looks like a good opportunity to switch.

Saving commute time and energy isn't a bad trade-off, too.

About the worry about making a feeling-based decision - there's a quote that says "All decisions are emotional."

In other words, anything that brings unfamiliarity is bound to be temporarily uncomfortable.

(Come to think of it, the stakes are still much lower with a team switch)

All the best!

I cannot understand the fascination behind seeing e-ink displays play video. The tech is a "display once, use forever" kind of display.

Otoh, video needs bright vivid screens, gaming level quality. Quite the opposite of what a "display once use forever" tech would be suitable for.

Having to plan it months in advance takes some of the short term trading aspect away. You can have no idea what markets will be doing months from now.

You obviously have material non public information as CEO, but you could just as easily lose by trying to trade that as win when there’s such a long delay involved. Everybody else gets to see what your trade is, with plenty of notice, and can front run you.
Aerospace has a very high quality standard compared to other industries.

Lots of formal processes capture what would otherwise be informal design decisions elsewhere. In this case, they probably have reams of pages detailing a failure mode effects analysis (FMEA). One mode is “oops, we sent the wrong command” and the document would define the specific design mitigation(s) for that outcome until it reaches an accepted risk threshold.
Given how much malware and phishing slips through into ads, ad-blocking is a security measure on the users part. The benefit of WEI to ad and media companies is obvious, but I'm not sure this is a net security benefit for users.
To relieve eye strain. Reading on an e-ink screen is so much more comfortable than on any emissive monitor. With current tech the downside is of course reduced refresh rate as well as low color contrast.

Depending on the workload, that might be a worthy trade off. I tried coding on a grayscale eink display for a while and noticed a big difference in eye strain and overall concentration levels after a long session. But the display I had was too small and I didn't like living without syntax highlighting, so I went back to a normal screen. This product would solve those issues.

Authors and writers in general might be another target audience for this product. It's niche for sure, but eink has a lot of applications beyond price displays in a store.
Looking at payments for Pinboard for this year, it's about a 50/50 split between Stripe and PayPal. Integration with the latter is painful and unpleasant compared to Stripe, but there are a lot of users (international users especially) for whom Stripe is not an option.

I also like not having a single payment provider have the ability to cut off my revenue if some kind of issue arises. For that reason I would avoid integrating PayPal via Stripe even if that option were offered.
So did markets.
Cuz eye strain.
Hey, I do that too for the same reason.

The mechanisms are actually quite clear, for example: Psychotherapy frontally tries to get the patient unstuck out of Dysfunctional Behavior and Maladaptive Coping Patterns.

One possible view is that Society has drastically changed in recent generations with industrialization, mass media & consumption, and minuscule families - it used to take a whole village to raise a child.

According to this, it does not happen when you use variables (unless you explicitly ask for it), but it does happen on the output of the command substitution:

> A command enclosed in parentheses preceded by a dollar sign, like `$(...)', or quoted with grave accents, like ``...`', is replaced with its standard output, with any trailing newlines deleted. If the substitution is not enclosed in double quotes, the output is broken into words using the IFS parameter. https://www.csse.uwa.edu.au/programming/linux/zsh-doc/zsh_15...

I can't actually remember off of the top of my head, I tried it out a year or two ago but didn't get too far because during profiling it became clear the biggest opportunities for performance improvement in this app were primarily algorithmic/query/io optimizations outside of Python itself, so business-wise it didn't make too much sense, though if it had I think using Conda would have been on the table. We make heavy use of Pandas/Numpy et al, though I know those are largely supported now so I'd guess it was not one of them but something adjacent.

Oh right. Thank you, that went over my head.
For what it’s worth, not much, but me personal believe that you believe that without evidence and primary due to the propaganda governments have fed you to scapegoat the evil “capitalists” and markets as a way to deflect blame for serious problems away from themselves.

Governments need to regulate to prevent harm, we all agree. Yet they claim it’s the markets doing it! No, markets do what is most efficient and optimal given the rules they can operate within. Governments are the failure point for basically all the serious problems. Instead of making neutral evidence based rules as regulations, politicians tend to reach for redistribution to buy votes, which when combined with scapegoating markets, is a winning combination to remain in power. Unfortunately history shows, unambiguously, it’s a losing combination for the society.
As A Fire Upon the Deep is one of my favorite books (it's been a while since I've read it- my copy is currently on tour), I'd like to chime in and say I remember this reference, but I believe it's in A Deepness In the Sky, which goes more into Pham's backstory. It's definitely one of these two books though.

Some of those fridges are refurbished and still around[1]! It's my dream to own one someday when my fridge from the 90's dies.

Every couple years there's a HN link to a blog post about how those appliances were built better in the day. Couple highlights I remember were:

- Parts were dipped in paint rather than sprayed leading to fuller and thicker paint coverage

- Motors had some changes so were actually built to last

Got to imagine fewer electrical/mechanical parts that can fail as well.

> But somehow the narrative is markets are “bad”

The mainstream opinion is "markets are ok as long as they are well regulated".

The only narrative that is trying to compete with that with any success is "markets are perfect without any regulation". Which provokes the rebuttal you refer to.

I've yet to see anybody claiming seriously that "markets are inherently bad and can't be saved". Even in communism there were markets, as abysmal as that system was (and I lived in a communist country for 6 years).

If our markets right now were regulated enough - we wouldn't have global warming problems. Clearly there's a lot of externalities that aren't priced-in. So - there's too much market and too little regulation.
I think in internal environments like within a company it's fine. Just not in the public, user-facing web.
Dasung have managed watchable video on their monochrome devices (unlike most of their competitors). The fast modes loose effective resolution, and contrast, and build up artifacts that need clearing. These compromises are very hard to bare at the sticker price.
Can someone ELI5 why pypy doesn't or can't work with C-based packages like numpy or psycopg? I know nothing of how pypy does its magic.

If we could use pypy, while still using those packages, I think it'd be the go-to interpreter. Why can't pypy optimize everything else, and leave the C stuff as-is?

How does pypy handle packages written in other languages, like rust? can I use pypy if I depend on Pydantic?
