    This is part of why I self-host things. I have a lot of projects and project ideas, and Trello - while great for what it is - is slowly becoming enshittified, so I run a Planka instance instead. I also have a Nextcloud instance, Immich for photos, and a bunch of other things that help me stay organized. It took me a decade to figure out how to organize my homelab services and hardware, but now I have it set so all I need to do is check github/gitlab for updates and breaking changes for any particular service, log into any of my Dockge instances (all 4 of them are linked), and click the “update” button in the relevant stack. Yes, I know there are automations for that, too. One thing at a time.

    Set a script to automatically delete them once they’re a week or two old; if it’s something important, you’ll copy it somewhere else.

    Actually, Apple’s AI has made this pretty useful these days. It’s become yet another extension of my brain since i can now search them. But, yes, for a long time they were just more clutter. And, the benefit may still be quite marginal due to the fact that they are using energy in perpetuity as long as they are stored in the cloud. lol

      Try that count on each of 5 separate browser window. Amaeteur. I exaggerate, of course. Only a couple have that many tabs. I actually closed a window today - it only had 8 tabs - and opened a new one with more tabs from the references of the pages I closed. Eventually I will read the internet.

        It’s not a competition, but that was just mobile browser. Add a personal laptop and a work laptop for the full measure.

    I have a Project Ideas folder that would choke an ox, as my dad used to say. The only time I ever look through it is when I’m adding something. But tbh I do find items in there that I’ve actually done.

    Can’t count the number of ideas I’ve lost simply because I can’t remember to jot it down when it hits

    You know what moment brings me true joy?

    Whenever I accidentally close my main browser window but have a second window open so that the browser forgets all my open tabs.

    That’s when I’m able to live in bliss for a few days.

    Backup your bookmarks and then delete all of them. The backup is for peace of mind “just in case I ever need one of them” (you won’t)

    In the immediate future, the screenshot archive becomes unmanageable.

    In the long term future, it becomes the modern equivalent of what your parents and grandparents got out of keeping a scrapbook or photo album.

    I’ve been chronically online since 1997. Going through a scrap folder which I held onto when decommissioning an old PC or phone brings back all kinds of memories. I even find that noting the changes in my meme taste can be really useful for identifying points where I’ve grown as a person. That, in turn, leads to reprocessing old memories and identifying ways in which I brought something to the table which facilitated some of my own bad experiences. That helps me heal.
