• Apple Vision Pro Review: The Best Headset yet Is Just a Glimpse of the Future

  If anyone does not understand the reference, "Slashdot" is a link-sharing site oriented at tech news, that was popular many years ago as HN is today. https://slashdot.org. - Source: Hacker News / 4 months ago

• Ask HN: How can I back up an old vBulletin forum without admin access?

  It has been a VERY long time since I've done this with `wget`, but here's what I pulled out of my notes. I used to use this to mirror Slashdot when I was travelling for work and had limited/no internet: ```

    wget --ignore-length --no-remove-listing --no-check-certificate --recursive --page-requisites --span-hosts --convert-links --no-verbose --tries=3 --timeout=60 --level=1 --user-agent="Mozilla/5.0...

• Ask HN: Is there a tool / product that enables commenting on HTML elements?

  Yes. Only one solving the problem very very well right now. Memex - https://getmemex.com More generally the open annotations standard is meant to address this use case. Older, now obselete tools like hypothes.is, and peerlibrary* laid a lot of the groundwork. https://github.com/peerlibrary/peerlibrary. - Source: Hacker News / almost 2 years ago

• Raindrop.io's Firefox extension was removed!

  Hmm.. Probably Wallabag, But I prefer MemeX because it has less trackers and works well for me. Source: about 2 years ago

• What are some good extensions and windows apps which can be helpful to the categorization of websites, bookmarked, and web apps in tile style layout?

  Check out Memex (https://getmemex.com/) or wallbag (https://www.wallabag.org/en). They're both free and open-source. Source: over 2 years ago

• Is Firefox Primary Password safe?

  If you're interested in saving bookmarks and such, I'd probably go off with something like Memex (https://getmemex.com/) or Floccus (https://floccus.org/). I haven't really used them but, I've looked a bit into them and they're free and open-source. Source: over 2 years ago

• Suggestions for a good PDF reader for Mac for use with Obsidian

  For pdf annotations on Windows I use Foxit reader, on Android acrobat reader. For highlighting web-content (pdfs, articles) I'm still looking for a good solution but will maybe stick to Memexor hypothesis. On iOS there's Command Browser (one time purchase) I already use and love for webcontent- and they have Android on their roadmap too.. If that's the case I know where I belong ;).
