    I tag all my music through MusicBrainz Picard before adding to my server. I think most of the artists are good after that (i.e. if there is a featuring artist, it becomes a separate entry), but I typically use the album artist field to browse by artist.

    ETA: I have run into enough cases of Picard wrongly tagging my music that I wouldn’t want it automatic. It is not often, but enough that I would be annoyed.






  • That’s simple and smart. I had played around with the thought of storing encrypted versions of my password manager vault freely available, and making the password a Ceasar cipher of the first letters of each chapter of some book I am sure to find freely online. Not so simple and smart, but at least some fun. Except maybe when you actually need to use it.



  • I’m thankfully currently not in that situation, but while the situation is meant as a joke, the question is serious.

    If I stored everything I needed on a Google account that’s not 2FA-enabled and with a password you remember in your head, things are not that bleak in this particular situation, although it is hardly a convenience that makes it worth it to have that kind of setup in my opinion (and I would assume to most people frequenting this community).













  • I use Zotero for this. Used to use it as purely a reference manager for scientific papers, but started storing all kinds of stuff for archiving or later reading. My workflow is getting all news/articles I might want to read from RSS, and add to Zotero what I want to keep.

    With the browser plugin you can store snapshots as well, so you can preserve it if it changes or is taken down. Not sure how a mobile experience would be as I only filter RSS-items on my phone, but no reading.

    You can use file sync through a paid subscription or use youe own WebDAV server for it (I will be moving to this). Other than that, it is a database and folder with files, so you can probably use SyncThing or store it directly in Nextcloud also I would think.

    I am a folder-person, but it also supports tags so you have flexibility in how you organize.
