What is Reddit's opinion of
Pinboard?
From 3.5 billion Reddit comments
100 reviews of this app found across Reddit:
Is that being actively maintained?
It has http://www.delicious.com/ listed, but that was purchased by https://pinboard.in/ almost a year ago.
If they aren't removing the dead sites, it makes me think they aren't doing a good job keeping the active sites updated.
The entries on the site really need a last reviewed date as part of their detailed listing.
You don't. Things that you use regularly automatically get cached by your brain; for the rest, I have an extensive set of tagged, searchable bookmarks (https://pinboard.in is great) and regularly search "Linux <thing-i-want-to-do>".
Besides organization, other issue is links dying or pages changing.
I went with https://pinboard.in
It’s a paid service though. There are clients for mobile as well. Super nice API.
I tried wallabag, shaarli but they didn’t have everything I was looking for. Pinboard did so i just went with it.
If you haven't read Distraction, I don't know what to do with you. Here is the AO3 works list for Alistair, sorted by kudos, and here's the same on the dragonagekink pinboard. Have fun!
Honestly, you don't have to bring anything. You will get everything you need from the company unless they're in poverty and can't afford pens and paper.
I do like to customize my workspace to feel like home:
Bring my own pens and notebooks - I really only use Pilot G-2s (0.38 mm), Lamy fountain pens, and have my own notebooks because of paper quality.
Headphones - I have closed-headphones to block out everyone else so I can focus and get into the zone.
Keyboard - I supply my own because I have a mechanical one.
Desk/cube decoration - LEGO Minecraft, origami made for me by a friend, etc.
> So I can remember URLs and such.
I use paper to write down quick ideas and notes, nothing that will be permanently necessary.
You'll have a computer. I bookmark in a browser or save to Pinboard, depending on what the webpage is.
I'm not sure if there's anything you can do that will be able to signal to i3 that a chrome window is supposed to be floating(like it normally does for a save window).
However you can probably use for_window to make i3 recognize it and automatically float it. The trick will be in finding what conditions to make a chrome window float.
I also don't know javascript well, but some searching says the second parameter of window.open can be used to set the window name. So maybe change the last line to
void(window.open('https://pinboard.in/add?url='+encodeURIComponent(q)+'&description='+encodeURIComponent(d)+'&title='+encodeURIComponent(p),'Pinboard','toolbar=no,width=700,height=350,modal=true', "Please make this a floating window <3"));
and add
for_window [title="Please make this a floating window <3"] floating enable
to your config. or something like that. I don't know, just spitballing here. You might have to adjust the regex because chrome may automatically add things to the title. Use xev to find out exactly what is is and change the regex accordingly.
I'm completely happy with Pinboard. $25/year and it will archive your bookmarks as well. You can download a copy of your entire archive for all your data hoarding needs.
I'm not trying to detract from this project though. I'd love to have a self hosted version of my bookmarks, and it looks like it has a number of cool features.
That is not a font, it’s some nicely executed brush lettering. If you want that look, hire a [lettering artist](https://pinboard.in/u:stewf/t:letterer/?sort=title](lettering artist). If you must use a font, here are some with a similar look.
I think so too. Otherwise you can check out the Pinboard. There are many apps in different platforms that uses Pinboard as a backend. On iOS, Pinner for Pinboard and on macOS, Spillo. There are many different plugins that work with it too.
Reddit has built-in post saving.
It's also a really good idea to use something like https://pinboard.in/ so you can actually find things again, easily. Pinboard also has some excellent features like auto-archiving of your bookmarks (so when sites go offline, you still have a copy) and full-text search. Really, this will be vastly better than searching through your recent reddit comments to try and find something you saw a while ago.
I've been using Pinboard for a few years, and I really like it. It's a simple, solid service, that won't disappear next week, since it has a real business model (not ad-supported). You can tag bookmarks, add a title/description, search bookmarks by tag/title/content...
The killer feature for me is the archiving: > For an additional fee, Pinboard offers an archiving service which saves a copy of everything you bookmark, gives you full-text search, and automatically checks your account for dead links.
It even archives pictures (e.g. if an imgur reaction gif is deleted, I can still access the archived copy).
I also store links to my favorite songs on Soundcloud / YouTube, which I can access when I'm at a party :)
Some discussions about Pinboard on Hacker News:
I gotcha covered, but it's a process.
Every day, I run across at least one thing that takes longer than a minute to consume. (Long-form articles, how-to posts, lifehacks, productivity tips, recipes, etc.) So I save it to my Pinboard. When I'm done with Reddit, I go to my Pinboard with the goal of getting through all the stuff I've saved in the last few days.
It works well because it lets me be less lazy on the internet.
I use Pinboard. They advertise themselves as Social Bookmarking for Introverts, There are no ads and no third-party tracking. You pay a few bucks a year, and that's it.
I am not quite sure, if it fits your bill, because it's probably not encrypted. But you can check it out yourself. It's super simple, robust, has clients for different OS and they offer an archive system, that dumps your bookmarks, so you can access them, even if they went offline since your last access.
There where smaller ones but I haven’t been following the development lately. The biggest one is the archiving feature.
Shaarli has a web.archive.org button, but it’s not the same.
While the data does live externally, I do have some scripts running exporting and backing up data. There’s quite a few useful things on GitHub integrating with them.
edit
Should have mentioned, the archiving feature brings in the ability to do a full text search. This is super useful.
I highly suggest using an actual bookmarking system rather than reddit's half-baked saving. I am a huge supporter of https://pinboard.in , which gives me access to save things from any site, has tagging to help me find things again, has mobile apps to make it easy to use cross-platform, archives pages so I can still see them when they get deleted (about a quarter of my bookmarks have gone dark), and has fulltext search across my entire bookmark collection.
I have a couple of links that have a ton of SSHG recs on them. It's on a LiveJournal page so I'm not sure if you need a LJ account to see the page or not. The rec page was created in 2010 but there are a lot of links there so hopefully you'll find something you haven't yet read.
There was a listing somewhere recently... can't remember the source, but I saved a bunch of the store listings into my Pinboard.
There's stuff on eBay too.
> What are some good job databases I could look at?
Dice, Indeed, Craigslist, White Truffle, Angel List, Github Jobs, Stack Overflow Careers...
> I understand my work experience and portfolio are weaknesses. I'm developing a Hearthstone Deck builder in Python and performing penetration tests on Mutillidae using Kali Linux. What else should I be doing to make myself more valuable to a future employer?
A common thing for security people to do is, well, to find security holes, either in open-source projects or in websites with responsible disclosure policies. My bookmarks.
Are you set on doing just security work, or are you ok with a role in which security is one of several aspects for which you're responsible (I'm thinking of an SRE-like position)? Even if not, the more familiar you are with software development in general, the better.
> As I said, security is my passion. I want to engulf myself in all things computer security. I currently listen to podcasts, follow ~300 security related twitter accounts, I'm performing penetration tests and I'm reading various testing guides, standards and whitepapers. Is there anything else I should consider?
I haven't found 300 Twitter accounts of any sort that have a high enough signal-to-noise ratio to be worth my time. Don't get so caught up in reading that you forgo doing.
> Certs are a hotly debated topic. Given my obvious lack of experience, would it be worth getting one?
Certs are designed to demonstrate knowledge. Pursue the knowledge, and whether or not any certs come with it, that doesn't matter too much.
It's all archived on pinboard here. I just happened to have it up in another tab. :D
OP, people on the kinkmeme are usually really friendly, and the mod is super helpful. Don't be scared!
Like most signs created before 1970, this is lettering, not type. If you want to recreate the sign as accurately as possible, hire a lettering artist or type designer to replicate the letters — don’t use a font.
There are a number of other translations that are freely (as in beer) available via APIs, as well as a few that are free as in speech as well, so it shouldn't be too hard to make something like this for more than just KJV.
I used the NHEB for a name-generator a while ago; here's the equivalent of TFA:
[$]> grep 'Pro 27:19' NHEB.txt Pro 27:19 As water reflects a face, so a man's heart reflects the man.
I reread Seven Soldiers a few years ago and collected links to a bunch of annotations and articles. Some have fallen off the Web but Jog's stuff is still up and the 31 Days of Seven Soldiers pieces are, too.
Have you considered using a bookmarking site? For example, pinboard has a very dedicated set of users who use it to track fanfiction:
- Example of a pin: https://pinboard.in/u:Laria_Gwyn/b:571f853eec2d
- Interesting background: https://idlewords.com/talks/fan_is_a_tool_using_animal.htm
I've used Instapaper. It was good.
I currently use Pinboard.in, which is more of a bookmarking service, but works well for a list of things to read later. It's fast and simple.
Pinboard.
Here is the general fanfiction tag: https://pinboard.in/t:fanfiction/
General Harry Potter tag: https://pinboard.in/t:harrypotter/
You can also combine multiple tags, ie: https://pinboard.in/t:harrypotter/t:fanfiction/
My thoughts. Chrome is too intertwined with Google and it's not as customizable as Firefox. Safari is Apple exclusive. Edge is Windows exclusive. Opera is lacking major web elements, Opera's mobile browser is literally as bad if not worse than old internet explorer versions. Brave is awesome, but it's based on Chromium. Chromium again, is not as customizable as Firefox. You're always stuck with that google user pic on the toolbar as well as the favorites icon, they can't be removed. Under the hood of Chrome, you can't customize nearly as much as you could in Firefox, Google often removes items from their about:config page, where Firefox is adding items.
The absolute worst part of Chrome, their bookmark manager, if you log into to keep your bookmarks saved in chrome, those bookmarks are not available in chromium or brave, etc and Google makes it near impossible to get your bookmarks out of their system. Don't use browser-based bookmark managers, they only force you to use the same browser across all of your devices from now until eternity. If you need a cross-platform/cross-browser bookmark manager, use https://pinboard.in/ - which resembles the old delicious.
For Linux users, there's two main choices for a modern web experience: Firefox or Google. For me, the choice is clear...
Lynx Browser.
I bookmark fic links (and other miscellany) on a third party social bookmarking website called Pinboard. It's like the old Delicious before the redesign, if you've heard of it.
Pinboard is a paid subscription, but it allows tagging, private tagging, private bookmarks, and marking works as unread. There are two account types; the basic account costs USD$11/year, and the archival account costs $25/year.
The archival account stores a snapshot of the page when you bookmark it (although sometimes the crawler can lag a few days or so), so if you bookmark the entire work link on AO3, you'll be able to save it externally. However, if the work is mature/explicit or private, it'll just archive the splash page that says something like "This work could have adult content. If you proceed you have agreed that you are willing to see such content."
There's sort of a workaround, where you can bookmark the ?view_adult=true or ?view_full_work&view_adult=true version of the link. I don't like using this because 1) my account settings show adult works automatically, and it's a pain having to remember and manually input this link, and 2) you can see when other people bookmark the same link, which allows me to check out their accounts to use as a rec list if we have similar tastes, but people usually bookmark the first chapter or full work (so the workaround screws this up).
I use Calibre as my main method of archival, so it's not really an issue for me if adult/private works aren't archived on pinboard. Another alternative might be to archive it on the wayback machine, or download it and stick it onto a cloud service like google drive so it doesn't clog up your laptop.
There are also other alternative free and paid bookmarking services, like diigo, google bookmarks, and probably other ones on other rec lists/articles like this that you can look through and maybe try out.
I prefer just reading code on Github now but I learned by reading books on the bus then trying to re-create what I had learned when I sat down at a computer from memory. I'd make notes on the stuff I forgot and would re-read that. I'd keep re-reading the same chapters until I didn't have to re-read anything and could do the problems they had presented.
I use youtube mostly as a reference for new / bleeding edge content but I find that I don't commit much of it to memory like I did with books and writing code. I listen to discussions or interviews on youtube but I don't actually think it is great for learning. It is good for being exposed to opinions but you can also get a lot of that from podcats. JS Jabber has a ton of old good content.
I stay fresh by being as active as I can in dev Twitter, doing open source, reading reading reading.
I have all my bookmarks online so if you are really wanting to learn you can browse them. Specifically I'd check out these tags: learn, basics, tips, javascript, etc:
- Chrome - Browser
- Hangouts - Chat
- Inbox - Email
- Calendar - Calendar
- Google News - News
- Feedly - News
- Life360 - Family
- Slack - Chat
- YouTube - Videos
- Spotify - Music
- Google Photos - Photos
- Keep - Organization
- Carrot Weather - Weather
- Pindroid - pinboard.in
- Pushbullet - Bouncing things between devices
- Coinbase - Cryptocurrency
- Sigfig - Tracking stocks
- Plex, Hulu, Netflix - Media
- Tumblr - Porn
- Signal - Private chat
I use Pinboard. It's not free, but it's similar to del.icio.us (actually created by a former worker there) and works well for me. You can just use the website and bookmarklet, but there are a few iPhone apps that look a bit prettier.
I'm not a big Supernatural shipper either (...or at all, now that I think about it). Here are my Supernatural recs, most of which are oldies from the earlier seasons (I dropped out of fandom for a few years). They're pretty much all Dean centric, and 99% of them are gen, so take a look if that is of interest!
Edit: changed URL to my new pinboard account.
Yes. I can personally say it can handle thounsands of bookmarks. As for duplicates, it merges them together. Check out this page for details https://pinboard.in/faq/ specifically the section titled "What happens if I import the same bookmarks twice?"
this.cm was a site where you could share one link/bookmark per day. You could write a short summary. The concept was that if you could only share one thing a day, then it would be something truly worthwhile and worthy of curation. It basically wanted to become a Reddit or a Fark I guess.
As of July, this.cm is dead. https://blog.this.cm/tough-news-f6a5138b2ab3
I suppose I need to clean up my shortcuts. Btw, I too have a bookmark addiction. Long time Delicious user but when Yahoo purchased Delicious and threatened to shutter it, I discovered Pinboard.in. I joined when the price was around $5 or $6 which was a lifetime fee. He's since changed it to an $11 per year service but I paid $25 per year so I get the archiving. I joined on Jan 18, 2010 and have 18444 bookmarks consuming 19.31GB of space. It's like my own personal search engine.
I don't know that it's minimalist, persay, but I'm a huge fan of Pinboard
It's minimalist in the sense that there isn't a bunch of fancy design or advertising nonsense, but it isn't minimalist in the sense that it makes it very easy to compile a very large and potentially cluttered (but easily-searchable!) bookmark collection. Using folders on your browser means you have to curate your list a bit harder.
I've been working on a Backbone+Marionette app since early 2013. Still as-is, haven't tried to make any changes to it. Also gone all-in on learning React and Redux in the last year. I now maintain a list of links to high-quality React and Redux tutorials and articles, over at https://github.com/markerikson/react-redux-links.
So first, a few thoughts off the top of my head:
- Start trying to apply one-way-dataflow principles to your app. Don't let child views make changes to models - use event buses to send Flux-action-like data back to some controller logic, and let that do the work.
- In addition, aim to make your views as stateless and data-driven as possible, whether that mean re-rendering from scratch on change, or using something like Backbone.Epoxy to do one-way databinding. (Our app uses a mixed-together version of Marionette.ItemView and Epoxy.View, giving us Marionette's lifecycle methods and Epoxy's databinding abilities. We also use Backbone.Subviews to mark where children should go in our templates, and initialize them.)
- Might want to start looking at ways to change your build process. I know that things are more complicated when you're using something like Django or Rails, which are more server-centric and have their own asset pipelines, vs an app that's a pure SPA from day one and just doing everything in a JS bundle. Still, worth looking into things like Webpack.
- If you're interested in migrating your Backbone code to React, you can definitely do that incrementally. There's a number of interop libs out there that will let you hook together React components and Backbone Models/Views/Collections in various ways. I've got a number of articles and libraries bookmarked at https://pinboard.in/u:acemarke/t:backbone/t:react/ on that sort of topic, and a few more articles at https://github.com/markerikson/react-redux-links/blob/master/react-vs-backbone.md that give some comparisons between Backbone and React.
If you're just looking for a way to manage references in general, I like Zotero -- it'll comb pubmed for all the relevant details and you can sort by whatever. Works in a browser, and has a desktop client that a ton of people like.
Lately just for links in general, I like to use pinboard -- "bookmarking for introverts." For a small fee they'll archive versions of webpages for you so you don't have to worry about it going away, and every time you add a url you can put in a comment, I like to make it a quote from the article that I want to come back to. Also supports tagging by whatever, and you can email things straight to your pinboard account which is awesome when I'm on my phone.
The only other strategy I can suggest is keeping a running google doc for each section of your thesis -- I keep one for each essay I'm working on. Google doc is important because (1) you can see it no matter where you are and (2) it's just really easy to put in links and quote from them.
So those are my hacks for this, maybe you'll find one of them useful.
This is what I'm currently using:
- Trello as my project/task manager. I like its kanban structure and the fact that it allows me to see the big picture and focus on the workflow and, at the same time, break things down into smaller tasks with checklists.
- Todoist for personal tasks. Great app but I'm debating whether I should go Trello-only and use Apple Reminders for personal tasks.
- Evernote to store notes (mostly outlines) or web clippings to process later. I used to dump everything in there, including web pages but I since moved to Instapaper and Pinboard for that.
- Fantastical, iOS calendar synced with Google Calendar. On my mac I use Apple Calendar.
- Coach.me for habit tracking. I tried Habitica but I'm not a gamer nor an RPG fan so I then decided to move to Coach because it goes straight to the point but still retains the social aspect of Habitica, which I think is necessary for a habit app.
Thanks for the clarification!
I don't deserve the information, again, I'm interested in the conversation - and I'm truly happy when I get informed answers from knowledgeable peers. And I'm not an information hoarder, I'm more than willing to share my knowledge as well if somebody is interested and I've got something to say in a specific topic.
I've invested countless hours in a broad area of topics, network being just a small part. I've been dabbling in incast issues back in 2012 on a homegrown distributed system, finally revisiting this topic (in 2014 apparently, per timestamps) while troubleshooting horrible iSCSI performance on legacy switches.
And I guess what got my attention was you singling out EX hardware (buyers remorse!) where I couldn't see a huge difference to most of the other TOR switch market - Arista being the notable exception on some models.
I have no idea whether this is an intentional change or anything like that, but what you've outlined is a textbook example of using a feature completely contrary to how it's intended.
Upvoting should be used to indicate that you've already viewed something, and thought it was good/useful/etc. If I take your post to mean that you upvote things that you've read but want to check up on again later, that's better, but still, whether or not a thread might be interesting after some time has passed should be irrelevant to whether you upvote it. Votes are a fundamental part of reddit and how we order links, so if you're voting based on some other criteria, you're actively undermining the function of the site and working against our ability to show you things you want to see (even if unintentionally).
What you've described is a desire to use a bookmarking system. There's one built in to reddit, there are implementations in all modern browsers, but I personally really love https://pinboard.in : it's searchable and taggable, it keeps archived copies for me of the sites I save, it has good integration across platforms, and it even has a dedicated "unread" field that makes it easy to separate "I want to keep this forever" from "this was something I wanted to check out later". But it doesn't matter which of those you choose; they're all vastly better suited to your needs than the upvote system.

NewsBlur - Online RSS reader. Lets you easily subscribe to and keep up with lots (I have close to 100) of websites. Perfect for things like webcomics. Good way to watch sites that only publish something occasionally. Has built in filtering so you can excludes categories of articles you don't like.
Pinboard - Nice way to save URLs and attach tags so you can find things later. Also lets you save your tweets for easy search.
https://pinboard.in - Social Bookmarking for Introverts
Pinboard is a fast, no-nonsense bookmarking site for people who value privacy and speed.
There are no ads and no third-party tracking. You pay a small annual fee and that's it.
Pinboard lets you bookmark from any browser, connect up to three Twitter accounts (and favorites), and sync with popular services like Instapaper or Pocket.
For an additional fee, Pinboard offers an archiving service which saves a copy of everything you bookmark, gives you full-text search, and automatically checks your account for dead links.
I believe human is more popular than elf (or dwarf) overall, and unfortunately elf mage is the only one which has to share an origin, so most people probably just opt for human whenever they want to play a mage and that informs the fandom. No intentional hate for Surana, just forgetting about them.
I've seen some pretty cool Suranas around, though, they're just harder to find. You can find all the completed story fills for Surana from the Dragon Age Kink Meme (which is not just weird sex stuff, I promise, some fills are even G-rated fluff) here.
They archive it here https://pinboard.in/u:dragonage_kink/t:character:alistair/
Now just scroll on down. Unfilled are prompts not yet written, but there are a lot of stories or starts of stories.
Also, I want to recommend that you don't sort by top rated on AO3. brace yourself and look at all of them. You don't have to read everything, but those that capture your interest. There are some seriously underrated stories that are amazing, but no one sees them because they aren't new.
I have a link collection on Pinboard, some of the things should be perfect for you:
https://pinboard.in/u:citizen428/t:thai
I can also heartily recommend the Facebook group "Farang Can Learn Thai Language รักภาษาไทย", which is full of good information and helpful people.
The Traumtagebuch thread is in fact the most “lively” discussion about Stiefo I know of. If you register at that forum, you can also access a non-public thread with some messages written in Stiefo.
There’s also a online (and downloadable) copy of a short course by Uwe Scheler at the [SLUB Dresden].(http://digital.slub-dresden.de/werkansicht/dlf/61423/3) This covers the basic level (Grundschrift), although in very condensed form.
The “official” manuals tell more about the design of the system, e.g. rationale for the consonants’ shapes (the word „deren“ is the prime example). Very helpful was the list of the four characteristics that define every consonant: size (half or full step), shape („Lage“: straight, slanted, curved, „linksauslaufend“, „treppenförmig“), top and bottom endings (sharp, round, loop, „eingelegt“). Most letters differ in only one of these four features, so you know what parts to write especially carefully.
There’s not much stuff online about Stiefo; you may want to check my Pinboard: https://pinboard.in/u:fj/t:stiefo/
Or everything I’ve collected about shorthand: https://pinboard.in/u:fj/bundle:shorthand%2B%252F%2BKurzschrift/
Not sure about Delicious, but the service I use (pinboard.in) lets you backup your bookmarks at any time with just one click. You can also import all your existing bookmarks into it. It's not a free service (one time fee of about $10 for a lifetime membership) but it's a solid and incredibly reliable service with TONS of features including RSS feeds for your bookmarks (private or public), "read later", full IFTTT integration, Twitter integration, mobile version (and apps), etc. Here's a full description of the service: https://pinboard.in/tour/
I know $10 seems like a lot but it's a one time fee and the service is so good, it's unbelievable. I can't recommend it enough.
not free but https://pinboard.in is a reasonably privacy respecting service.
But is there a reason you don't just use firefox built in bookmarks if all you need is link saving? You can even sync securely to multiple devices
As a Firefox user, I have an extension called Tab Session Manager that helps me keep a literal 'tab session' that I can reopen later.
Really helpful for those tabs I want to bookmark or read later.
Another random recommendation is a bookmarking service I use called pinboard.in (no affiliation). It was something like $12/year and I use it at least once a day to either save something or look up a handy bookmark.

There are many panoramic options, depending on your budget and needs. The xpan is only one of them, and a particularly expensive one at that.
Here are a number of places to start looking: https://pinboard.in/u:xiong.chiamiov/t:panoramic
If it has to be free, https://raindrop.io. If you’re willing to pay, https://pinboard.in ($22/year). I’ve had my Pinboard account for almost a decade now and it’s an amazing investment.
There’s also an emerging genre of software that’s all about personal knowledge management (https://thesweetsetup.com/obsidian-vs-roam/) (Obsidian, Roam Research, to a lesser extent, Notion), which I think is significantly more than you’re looking or asking for here, but might be worth exploring if you’re interested in a more comprehensive documentation of “stuff.”
For currently active projects, I started using Workona.com a few weeks ago and love it. It will help you manage tabs, but you can also drag items into effectively bookmark listings, group them into labelled groups, etc. It's great for being able to shift into working on a thing, and having all the reference bookmarks handy. There's also a notes feature that I sometimes use for things like "Got to this point processing this information, pick up here next time..." types of stfuff.
It's not great for long-term storage: for that, I use pinboard.in
Bookmarks in Pinboard. And, if any specific notes or tips, add them to a simple text / Markdown file that is accessible via nvALT, 1Writer etc., syncing via Dropbox. Nothing fancy.
I also find it handy to put stuff up on the web from the Markdown file as it's then easy to add it as a link to Todoist. Here's an example of one such Todoist-related running text file that you may find worthwhile bookmarking for future reference.
Pinboard is a great minimalist bookmark manager. It's web based, but there does exist iOS and Android apps, and a javascript bookmarklet thing to save pages directly to your bookmarks. The owner is a big advocate of privacy and security.
Walpurgis Nacht by icarus_chained Gen, outsider PoV || In 1876, in the Harz mountains in Saxon Germany, a dark court takes possession of a ruined castle overlooking a village, led by a lady all in red. On Walpurgis Nacht, the most dangerous night of the year, a stranger wanders into the terrified town, and the world is made to realise that there are things that even vampires should not mess with.
An atmospheric crossover of various Germanic mythologies/fairy tales. The confrontation in the vampire's castle is spellbinding.
Pinboard has a "save tab set" feature where you can save all open tabs in a window together, and also add tags/give it a name, etc. I've used it at work where I have a ton of specific docs and stackoverflow pages open at the end of the day that I want to save all of for the next day.
I LOVE https://pinboard.in/popular/ which is a bookmarking directory that allows you to see websites that people have tagged or "favorited." You can easily alter the URL and insert a different word after "t:" to see anything that someone tagged as that word. Some of my favorite words to use are: "advice", "career", "entrepreneurship" and "design"
I found links in your comment that were not hyperlinked:
I did the honors for you.
^delete ^| ^information ^| ^<3
I don't tend to take many personal technology notes because anything that's useful for me is also useful for other people. So it goes on the team wiki.
For bookmarks of pages that have useful information I want to find again, I have an extensive set of bookmarks in https://pinboard.in. It's available across computers, works on mobile, saves archives for when pages disappear, does fulltext search across bookmarks... I can't say enough good things about it. It's also an inspiration in minimalism since it's one guy who goes months without working on the site at all, proving that most of our jobs aren't really necessary (but if people want to keep paying me tons of money, great).
To-dos and brainstorming go into a physical notebook, loosely following the Bullet Journal style. Dotted grid pages provide excellent vertical alignment without cluttering up the page, and fountain pens make writing pleasant.
Use https://pinboard.in. Not only do you get all of those features, but you can use it on any website, not just reddit. It also saves webpages so when they inevitably go offline or behind a paywall you still have a copy.
I found links in your comment that were not hyperlinked:

One problem is that these different tools work differently AND there are different methods of managing issues / projects. The tools can be configured and used differently depending on the methods the manager and team use.
You'll need to understand some of the ways projects are managed if you're going to (a) understand those tools and (b) make your own. These bookmarks are all from a few years ago (when I was last trying to understand the different ways of managing "agile" projects) but hopefully some still work and would be useful: https://pinboard.in/search/u:philgyford?query=projectmanagement For example, here's one about how Thoughtbot use Trello: https://thoughtbot.com/blog/how-we-use-trello-for-product-development
Once you've got a basic idea of different ways of doing these things, then think about what your software needs to do. e.g. Make a Kanban Board style issue manager (which is one way in which Trello could be used, for example). Good luck!
https://pinboard.in/ - been using it almost 10 years now. The site design is basic but at least it never changes in annoying ways. I have almost 50k bookmarks in there. Easy to keep backups of too, since you can export all your bookmarks (in choice of 3 formats).

Ah, Leverage. Probably my favorite TV-show ever! I never really got too deep into the fandom, but I have 23 recs on my pinboard (plus three of my own fics). You can find them here.
All are older fics written between 2009-2011, and Eliot-centric.
A number of places I've found: https://pinboard.in/u:xiong.chiamiov/t:art-store They're not all purely for photography so you'll need to filter a bit. There's also a ton of stuff on Etsy, DeviantArt, Flickr, etc.
Here is a good start, as it's broken down by character. Later today I'll go through my bookmarks and see if anything jumps out at me. Are you looking for crackfic or legitimately good fic?
I use pinboard.in. Lean, no frill, fast and reliable. When I save a bookmark, I throw in some memo as needed and also keywords so I can search later. No filing, no categories, etc. Just file with keywords. That's it. It just sits there most of the time, and I can access it from any device.
If I want to save a page, I save in PDF or HTML. All browsers can do this without a special tool.
I don't worry about everything else.
I'm using an external bookmarking tool called Shaarli that I self-host. Something like pinboard.in would also work for you I guess.
Both of those web-apps support saving URLs (not limited to reddit) via a simple bookmarklet and you can add tags and descriptions to your bookmarks. Very easy to use and much more powerful than the native reddit save functionality.
Adding to the list of separate bookmark managers, Pinboard has been around for a long time and is pretty popular amongst certain groups.
There are plugins for Chrome like
https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/pinboard-tools/dpaohcncbmkojcpcjaojcehdlnjfbjkl?hl=en
and apps on iOS, like Pinner
For things found online, mainly Pinboard.in, basically a bookmarking service. I pay the annual fee for archiving, which means if a web page disappears I can look at the cached copy on Pinboard. It makes me feel less pressured to store copies of things on my own computer.
I also use an iOS app called Pinner, so it's just as easy to save items from a phone or ipad as it is on a computer. I read blog posts in an rss reader app, and if there's something I want to explore further or keep, I can call up Pinner on the share sheet thing and get it into Pinboard.
I use OneNote, but more for making lists, organizing my thoughts about projects, etc.
Tested your bookmark now. A pity that won't work anymore. I can't offer you a solution to Chrome blocking window.open, but have you considered the alternative: Just make a search shortcut in Chrome, that looks something like this: https://pinboard.in/search/u:myname?query=%s and assign it to a key, like p. Then all you have to do is Cmd T + p <your query>.
Love Flex Mentallo! For years there were legal issues surrounding it and people thought it would never be reprinted.
I highly recommend using https://pinboard.in instead. It:
- works on other sites
- has tagging
- has fulltext searching
- will archive pages so people can't delete useful information
- is slightly more supported
- has mobile support
Reddit's saved posts feature sucks balls. We can ask for them to improve it, but we can also just use the better options that are already available.
Thanks, Jaqqarhan, for replying! Yes, I was including mobile and web apps, but also online courses (i.e. "Coding from Cambodia: How to work remote and see the world").
That's an interesting point! Does anyone else share these concerns?
I'm curious, since I know examples like Maciej Cegłowsk of Pinboard.in is still flying solo and doing very well. What are your thoughts around these solo-coder examples?
That's not a bump, though.
It's also not a good way to bookmark something, as it's not searchable and your list of comments is limited to your 1000 most recent comments (for me, that's about three months). It also spams up threads needlessly. Both you and everyone else will be better off if you use an actual bookmarking system - I'm a big fan of https://pinboard.in/, but there are a multitude of options.
+1 to Maciej Cegłowski’s Great Slate in that Verge article, he’s doing God’s work. Also his Pinboard bookmarking/archiving service is awesome. Also he has many online feuds which are entertaining to watch, and he’s on the right side of most of them (though he is sometimes a jerk unwarrantedly to people he decides he doesn’t like)
> B) bad use (seriously, who saves web pages complete instead of bookmarking them?)
- /r/datahoarders
- https://pinboard.in/tour/#archive
- web.archive.org
I do. A few others here, http://archiveteam.org
- Website content can be changed.
- I can’t search the content of the page from a bookmark.
- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Link_rot
There’s a few more of us around.
Greg/Catherine are ADORABLE! It's been a while since I ventured into the CSI fandom so I'm not too up to date when it comes to fics, but I have some older recs on my pinboard. Wintertime's fics are what gave me the aha-moment—Another Pretty Face, specifically.
Dust Devils! It's AMAZING!
linkao3(689228)
I've got a few others bookmarked here, but they're on the shorter side.
Edit, since it seems to be fic bot's day off:
>Dust Devils by Sharlot
>Supernatural, gen, 132k, M
>The Winchesters fight time, a vengeful spirit, and a wind demon in order to save a little girl from the monster who's stalking her.
Hmm. Couple different thoughts.
First, not quite what you're asking for, I've definitely seen a whole bunch of libraries for integrating Backbone models/collections/views into a React app. I haven't tried any of them myself, but if you look in my Pinboard bookmarks at https://pinboard.in/u:acemarke/t:react/t:backbone/ , the ones I've seen are bookmarked there.
Second, I've also seen a few libs that relate to Backbone+Redux integration in different ways. I have those listed at https://github.com/markerikson/redux-ecosystem-links/blob/master/use-cases.md#backbone-integration .
I'm not sure I have much in the way of absolute specific advice beyond that. Sounds like you've tried wrapping up the Backbone pieces into Redux, with limited success.
Can you give any more details on what the existing API usage involves, what your limitations/requirements are, and what sort of stuff you've tried? Maybe with a bit of sample code in a gist for reference?
First, I keep a big list of links to high-quality tutorials and articles on React and related topics, at https://github.com/markerikson/react-redux-links . Specifically intended to be a great starting point for anyone trying to learn the ecosystem, as well as a source of good info on more advanced topics.
Within that list, I've got few articles related to React and Backbone. Most are more "here's why we switched", but I think there's a couple that talk more about how to switch.
Also, I have a number of articles and libraries related to Backbone->React integration and migration bookmarked in my Pinboard account. You might want to browse through that list : https://pinboard.in/search/u:acemarke?query=react%2Bbackbone . In particular, http://jgaskins.org/blog/2015/02/06/gentle-migration-from-marionette-to-react looks relevant.
I use Pinboard
The benefit (or I guess the curse, if you're like me and haven't totally figured out how to use tags instead of folders) is that you can tag each link with multiple tags, so it doesn't have to be sorted into one folder or the other. If I find a recipe, I can put it under recipes, but also under "main dish" and "vegetarian." The search is also really fast, so as long as you add a good description or keywords, you'll find what you need even if you didn't tag it correctly. (I tagged a bunch of my links as "cool stuff", which, it turns out, is not a very helpful tag.)
Pinboard does have a "read later" checkbox, so you can tag stuff to read later, and you can make it work on computers or phones, so I can add links to my account even if I've been reading on my phone. You can also access all of your bookmarks from any computer/phone, which is nice if you're away from home but still want to remember something. (I guess lots of bookmarking services will do this too, and Chrome will sync that stuff if you log in, but Pinboard will do it without logging in for all bookmarks that you haven't marked as private).
Are you familiar with pinboatd? It's where I link all the fic I like. Pretty awesome. I linked the Harry Potter fics over 100000 words and Supernatural between 50000 and 100000 that I have.
https://pinboard.in/u:persephone434/t:fandom:harrypotter/t:words:over100000/
https://pinboard.in/u:persephone434/t:fandom:_supernatural/t:words:50000to100000/
To use your native app, a user needs to open the app store, search for it, click Install, accept the permissions (unless it uses runtime permissions), and only then open it. At each step, 20% of the users are lost.
I like https://pinboard.in. Has an option to save a copy of the pages you bookmark in case they take it offline; can auto-import from pocket, instapaper, readability, twitter; and doesn't try to be a social network but you can share if you want.
I use https://pinboard.in/ as my bookmarking program. I got into it when it was one price for it, but at 11/year I would still do it. You can put tags on the bookmarks so one bookmark can have multiple tags, so a recipe could have MainMeal, beef, pasta all as tags. It is easy to search and has an android app. I have one tag "ReadLater" for those bookmarks that are interesting, but not enough to keep.
> There are a lot of people "running" small subscription services on the side with basically zero effort on their part after they get the site programmed.
Do you have some examples? The closest I can think of is Pinboard, but I'm pretty sure Maciej works full time on it.
Here are my Marvel Movie Universe m/f long recommendations.
Sadly, I don't have much in the other fandoms you specified, and I don't know if what I have in those recs are going to be to your liking, but, y'know, they are all at least 10,000 words, so they'll be good for spending a few hours curled up reading.
I am an Xmarks user. Mostly I have moved all my bookrmarks over to https://pinboard.in/.
I really wish someone would make a browser plugin that would sync selected tags from pinboard.in into local bookmarks.
I will probably just use the Chrome syncing, since I use Chrome 95% of the time.
LogMeIn probably isn't going to break things on day one. We have some time for alternatives to hopefully pop up.
The kinkmeme is kinda ... livejournaly ... but you can navigate it using their Pinboard which you can then narrow by the tags on the side. (For example: this is the page for filled prompts with the tag "Iron Bull.")
And you don't have to register to prompt, but I have no idea what the rate of fills for art prompts is so doing some hunting on your own probably isn't a bad idea.
You could so something with an online bookmarking service like Pinboard. Have your homepage set to your "games" tag and then you can drill down to specific games and see the relevant bookmarks to what you're playing.
I'm a very big fan of Varnish (no, really, I basically wrote it a love story); I think it's one of the most well-designed pieces of software I've encountered. But a lot of that is a matter of opinion, so, as always, evaluate for yourself.
If you're in a single- or dual-server architecture, it's totally fine to drop varnish on your web server directly; if you've got a standard 3-tier architecture, then you probably want it running on your load balancer(s). Varnish is very very fast, so you want it as near the edge of your network as possible, generally what the user connects to on port 80 and sitting right behind your ssl terminator for https connections.
Under most load conditions, my experience is the only resource you should be concerned about is memory - even if you set varnish to use an on-disk cache, it (or rather, the OS) will want to keep as much of that in memory as possible, which is good, because you want your caches to be quick. The size of the cache is configurable, so you can just tweak it (as you do with memcached) to take up however much space you have available.
Here are my bookmarks on varnish; perhaps they'll be useful to you.
I have plenty more recs, but I figure staying within that will give you plenty to read without anything shocking appearing.
Pinboard is definitely less than a decade old, and they use PHP: > Pinboard is written in PHP and Perl. The site uses MySQL for data storage, Sphinx for search, Beanstalk as a message queue, and a combination of storage appliances and Amazon S3 to store backups. There is absolutely nothing interesting about the Pinboard architecture or implementation; I consider that a feature!
I doubt it makes sense for new developers to learn PHP. But if you already know PHP and don't know any of the trendy options, what's wrong with just using what you know?
With the usual caveat the alexa rankings can be off by a lot, pinboard is currently at 12k in alexa rank. By tiny startup standards, they're wildly successful. They have more traffic than most startups will ever get.
Sure, they'll run into problems if they become two orders of magnitude more successful than they are now, but in the meantime they're doing fine and making good money because the author was able to quickly crank out something using a stack that he knew well.
I've recommended it before, but I always like to browse the bookmarked links of Cullen fills in the LiveJournal Kink Meme. https://pinboard.in/u:dragonage_kink/t:character:cullen/t:prompt:filled/
Then add the appropriate tags on the side to match your kink and pairing preference. Not all are smut; but most are.
I've posted two, but one is super short and the other... isn't really up everyone's alley.
Yes, go to the unfilled prompts list then click the + next to the tags you wish to sort by on the right. So you can have unfilled+alistair+cullen or whatever you wish.
