  • That’s pretty neat. I don’t use an e-reader and I’m not here proselytizing my workflow. But, to me, tools are usually best at one or two things, even though they might cover 20. That was my impression of wallabag. It had a lot of history and covered some niche workflows.

    Linkwarden to me has one purpose, long-term archive and storage. So it has a different Restic backup policy since it outputs hard copies. It integrates with local LLM inference to tag and whatnot. I don’t spend much time in its beautiful interface, nor do I use the social features. I’d be just as happy with a more minimal tool.

    It’s very helpful to be able to cite exact sources 10 years down the road, pulling from a hard copy. Especially with how fast the world moves today, the turmoil in the media and elected government.

    Very easy, robust, fast.

    You can def roll your own sever and solution, but WordPress needs a lot of help. As other commentors said, you need to bypass both the database and PHP as much as possible, via caching.

    While a simple redis or valkey store solves that, you’re relying on some integration thru the php layer to make it happen, usually some plugin.

    Serving files or otherwise caching directly thru the webserver is gonna make it faaaaast.

    Then there’s the question of database writes. Who is writing to your database, where, and how often?

    Edit: I see you have editors updating content 1-2x per hour. They should rewrite caches hot on each update so they’re the only ones paying the db latency cost.
