My bookmarks got to be too many and basically the whole system became unusable. Now I just leave the tab open so I can “come back to it later”™.
I’m started to get to a point where I have too many tabs open and I can’t find what I want… I might have to find the next level to migrate to soon.
Next level is open new windows? The level after moving them to different screens?
Who needs bookmarks when you’ve got tabs?
Why would I want it as a tab?
We see those jokes around, but I have seen a guy in real life that keeps SEVERAL tabs open and uses it as some sort of storage. He does that and then goes into every tech conversation to say that 16gb is “absolutely trash” nowadays, and that we need like at least 64gb. ¯_(ツ)_/¯
He also does everything online while logged in on google and on every online service possible. Looking at his browser giver me some unexplainable agony.
Maybe it’s a page about boobies ?
then it would get visited more often
Would you prefer it as a suppository?
Fewer calories.
Even if I never open it again I save it to prevent that thing where you remember a site but can’t find it again via search. It comes in clutch
What’s þat term, dead internet? A significant percent of my links are dead. What I need is a sort of local internet archive, but hooked into my browser so every page I visit is archived like archive.is.
I’ve spent nearly a year talking to AI and architecting the ultimate data capture workflow from web to raindrop to readwise to obsidian among others… And I still have 300 tabs open to not lose for one day when I finish architecting and can save them somewhere
Do you have some takeaways, especially for Obsidian? Have you found a good way to share content you discover on your phone indirectly to obsidian, without much manual work? Thanks in advance!
My bookmarks are heavily organized with foldering and structure, named concisely for what they are, and typically only allowed to be frequent visit type of sites. If they’re stale and old, they get removed.
This cartoon makes me think of those people with desktops full of documents and links. Makes me anxious when I see that.
Same, G-Suite stuff, Sports Stuff, Money Stuff is the largest one, work stuff, DND stuff, insurance bullshit, kid stuff, high seas stuff, and then some misc at the end, but it gets sorted pretty regularly.
insurance bullshit, kid stuff
I read the rest of the list just fine, but shifted the comma over one word to the left for this. Twas amusing.
Ha, nah this is actual important kid stuff, not Roblox and YouTube.
That URL should be glad I didn’t send it to OneTab
What? You don’t just have them all left open as tabs?
That’s worse than the toolbar hell people installed onto their browsers in the 2000s. I will never forget my great-aunt telling me that her grandkids broke her computer and made the Internet slow but wouldn’t uninstall all the toolbars and emoticons she had. Truly a PEBKAC error.
Truly PEBKAC, ID10T, or a layer 8 problem.
If I bookmark something that I actually want to use, then it has to go on the bookmark bar. If it goes into the folder, it will rot until the end of time.
When i bookmark something, it’s gone. I still sometimes do it, but i think that if i forget it, it can’t be that important.
This is what I used Pocket for. And when it shut down, I didn’t even export my data…
Thanks for reminding me lol
And I thinks that’s still possible until September or so
people just be calling me out man…
1 atmosphere.
When you go through them later and they appear broken; what do you do? Delete them? Keep them anyways?

Create a local archive maybe?
Linkwarden works quite well with its archiving features. Highly recommend.
This looks really good. I’m gonna bookmark that and check it out later.
The Internet Archive’s Wayback Machine might be able to give you a glimpse into what was lost.
keep them. maybe they start working again
Some of them are bad bookmarks. Some of them are good bookmarks, I assume. We have the best bookmarks. Thank you for your attention to these important bookmarks.
…Mine are spread across four browsers.
And… backups from old browsers.
Is this a neurodivergence meme? It feels like a neurodivergence meme.
Hoarding, knowledge hoarding
I recently reinstalled a clean OS, and forgot to back up my bookmarks despite backing up everything else.
Then I tried to remember what I bookmarked, and I just can’t for the life of me recall a single site in that folder.
Problem is that I bookmark a site, forget I found a site, go search for a similar thing 6 months later, boomarking the same site (because the url changed slightly from the last visit) or bookmarking a similar one. Repeat.
