Still a work in progress, but even at this stage, I hope it can help you and anyone you know who has been affected by the Pocket shutdown.

    Love the list, just a quick callout, these are pretty resource light services for self hosting, even $5/month seems like a stretch.

    If you’re already running a server, the added overhead for a bookmark manager has got to be fractional watts, especially of you’re not bookmarking constantly.

    If you’re doing a standalone server just for this, these can more than likely be hosted on a Raspberry Pi which uses 5W under load (maybe $1/mo under heavy load), and are incredibly lean when idle (pennies/month).

    I do think your post does a good job making people think about the hidden costs of self hosting, but done right self hosting energy can be greatly reduced
