I'm one the tab hoarders, opening many browser windows (each for different topic), 10-50 tabs each. Besides the grouping, I also like to freeze a topic for months, revisiting them later (deferred buying or travel decisions). I'm looking for best practices to manage such setups effectively, willing to learn new ways and tools. What's your workflow that you are willing to share?

Open source and self-hosted tools preferred, but not mandatory.

I've recently encountered two articles on this topic:

- https://arielelkin.github.io/articles/digital-estate-planning

- https://www.meganlyip.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/2019-11-28-Your-Digital-Estate-Guide.pdf

I'm interested on how others approach this: what do you do for your parents, for yourselves and for your children? Is there some practice or habit-forming that is low-effort but absolutely a must-have?

I have a wi-fi client in our heat pump, that is hard to access for reconfiguration. I want to change my network setup, and before doing that, I would like to move that client to a new device.

I've setup a new router (running dd-wrt), using same SSID, mac cloning (same BSSID), same subnet mask, same channel, same security method... but the client is not able to connect to the new device yet.

What else is there to clone? Could it be a difference in the chip on the router? What are good ways to migrate such wi-fi clients to a new device?

I'd be interested to learn more about hosting, creating and managing an online (+ maybe archives). Where does one start? Which software (hopefully open source) and which services could be used?

I came across https://www.azuracast.com/ so far, which seems to be a nice starting point, but what else is out there to look into?

I don't mind smart watches, but right now I'd be looking for a cheap, long battery life, dumb watch with only a GPS tracker. (I don't need heartrate monitoring, step counter or any other feature.)

Is there any out there? Plus points if it is hackable in any way, but not a hard requirement.

Edit: I am looking for a watch with independent GPS chip, not one that needs to be connected to a phone all the time.

Is there a self-hosted end-to-end encrypted messaging platform that also supports attaching files, images or other stuff along the messages? It seems that OMEMO is not there yet.

Which mnemonic algorithm is the most popular nowadays? I've seen PGP word list and pip39 in use, not sure what else is being used actively. If you need to choose one of them, which one would you choose and why?

And if you are unsure about the choice, how would you make sure your app is able to upgrade it later?

I'd like to help a friend to learn more about web scraping (and also with test automation, but that is less fun). Are you aware of any tutorial, competition or anything in-between which has tasks with varying difficulties?

E.g. easy: iterate over the ids of the articles and call curl on it. difficult: you need puppeteer with multiple JS tricks to get through the first few pages, and the end is far away...

In this experiment, I'm searching for an apartment with the same method: location + dates + persons -> click search -> select apartment on the result page.

Browser Window #1 - my default profile with content blockers (e.g. privacy badger + ublock origin): AirBnB displays the apartment with a cancellation policy of 1 day before the check-in date.

Browser Window #2 - Guest mode in Chrome, no extensions, no cookies: AirBnB displays the same apartment with a cancellation policy of 14 days before the check-in date.

Browser Window #3 - rarely used profile with the same content blockers as #1: 14 days cancellation policy.

Is this a glitch of the content blockers? Is there a "fraud protection" in AirBnB, which considers me more trusted on my usual profile? Did anybody experienced similar thing?

And which policy will apply when I book the apartment? :)

I've read unfounded speculation in both directions: some claim it will go down, others claim it should go up... What's your experience: Did you earn more? Did your company spent more on ads?
