I just finished migration to karakeep because:

  • linkwarden cloud doesn't bypass bot detection and "archives" a blank page
  • linkwarden archives the fullscreen cookie banner, or other such popups, visually blocking the content
  • linkwarden ai tags are messy and completely unhelpful
  • linkwarden search is unusable

I opened issues on those topics years ago and nothing changed for years.

Tried karakeep with stealth non-headless chrome in a docker container on my server: works like a charm ans has none of the issues I listed.

Sorry.

Now I just need to figure out what to do with the 40 websites that are down and how to get their archive (if it is even usable) out of linkwarden and into karakeep.

    Programming slowly by hand with only a book (made of paper) for reference and no IDE.

    EDIT: I mean in my free time as an excercise, not at work. Why the downvotes?

    It was a big surprise to find out that I can't even write and compile a hello world from the top of my head without the IDE creating the demo project for me and the "play" button abstracting many steps away to run the app.

    Oh and of course the decades of stackoverflow copy paste and delegating the grunt work to junior colleagues did nothing to help. I was athrophying long before AI.

    Thats the most garbage clickbait title I've ever seen.

    They added GUI button click and scroll sounds etc.

    Fortress Mode had audio for 20 years (well, at least 10).

    I know it works, but it doesn't make sense to me why I need to constantly disable jshelter for cloudflare bs and let my local device browser do the extra work, if my server can have it's own browser to do it.

    So I've set up karakeep with a browser that passes through most (if not all) bot protections and my on device browser can stay a bit more private with less annoyance.

    Just fyi - afaik with Proton it is also only Proton to Proton emails that are automatically e2e encrypted.

    Both providers have an option to encrypt other outgoing emails, but the reader needs to enter a password which is a hassle and "nobody" seems to use those options.

    It's not like that for me.

    I was in another country recently (not neighbouring mine, there were 5 other countries in between)

    And when on mobile data my ip location was the location of my telco, back in my home country.

    I'm not sure if it's related, but recently on my desktop I've been torrenting about a dozen of Linux ISOs* to my hard drive and the whole fucking system was freezing for multiple seconds and completely unusable.

    The OS is installed on an NVME. No CPU core was above 5-10% use. RAM usage was below 20%. SWAP was barely touched. No programs opened besides qbittorrent and VPN.

    Just opening the main menu or typing something in the search bar took 3-10 seconds depending on the lag spike... When I stopped the torrents, after a minute everything was buttery smooth again.

    It kinda reminded me of the issues I had when I mounted my NAS on boot. Dolphin would slow down to a crawl when opening home, even though it had nothing to do with the NAS ...

    Something is seriously borked with KDE Plasma and slow secondary storage.

    That entire world needs a cargo equivalent.

    The one time I needed to compile a rust app, I followed the instructions on their github and it used cargo and it didn't work. Don't remember the issue now, but it instantly gave me the same yuck I get when forced to use pip or npm and it breaks in the same fucking way.

    Had better luck compiling maven/gradle apps oh and yes, makefiles worked reliably for me so far.

    But this is just a personal anecdote and I rarely have to compile anything myself.

    Here is a fun read:

    tldr: only way to not be located is to leave all smart devices at home (and hope nobody with smart glasses will cross your path, but this part is not in the links)
