I will gently suggest that creating this huge complex system could somewhat be procrastinating from actually reading or watching anything.

Damn there’s probably some truth to this. It’s a blurry line for me because I also enjoy the process of self hosting/removing my data from the cloud, and I need an indoor hobby for the coming winter. But it is also true that a text file is already searchable and achieves maybe 70% of what I need.

Thanks for the recommendations, I will take a look!

Maybe “collection management” is the keyword I needed:

• Tellico
  • Movies, books, music, board games, coins, …)
• GCStar
  • Books, videos, comics, music, TV series, video games, board games, toys, miniature vehicules, stamps, coins, gadgets…
• tinyMediaManager
  • Movies, movie sets, tv shows. Basically a frontend to create .nfo files for Kodi, Plex, Jellyfin, etc.

This looks awesome! The formatting is nice with the markdown tables.

Couple of random thoughts which you can take or leave:

• The icon links to the source tweet are kind of small to click on mobile, at least for me. Would it be worth wrapping the icons with non breaking space characters?
• I’m partial to 24 hour time but I guess X uses the AM/PM.

Have you tried using more aggressive blocklists? Unfortunately if the app serves ads through the same host which serves normal content, then it basically defeats DNS ad blocking, which can only block ads when ads are served by a separate host.

On Android I’m using the Adguard Firefox extension, and it seems to work pretty well. There might be some more advanced way to block ads in <insert proprietary app> using ReVanced^[1], but I don’t know anything about that.

Edit: https://github.com/hoo-dles/morphe-patches claims it can remove Goodreads ads.

I did something like this maybe 10 years ago and it worked just fine after disabling DHCP on the one which is supposed to be just an AP.

One thing to double check, there are protocols for gracefully switching the AP your device is connected to as you walk out of range of AP1 and into range of AP2. You might want to check if that can be supported if your setup will have routers from 2 different brands. Otherwise, your phone will probably want to hang onto a weak connection even when you’re close to the other AP. I’m not a networking person, so maybe this isn’t a problem anymore.

After 3 tries I seemed to plateau around 120 wpm. I feel like my bottleneck was focus, I would misread or skip words, and then get stuck trying to fix the mistake. I think I used to be faster when I was in middle school and they made us use the “Type to Learn” game. But the speed isn’t that relevant in adult life.
