One of my talks for #GPN22 got accepted!

I'll talk about how "My files are a mess!", and how it will stay this way unless we achieve a collective enlightenment.

https://cfp.gulas.ch/gpn22/talk/ZRKD3G/

Now I finally have an excuse to do the research on the topic XD

@dcz "It has been this way since the days of DOS" Actually, this goes way more back. AFAIR to the 50s.

Local file organization and multi-classification concepts were my PhD topic: https://karl-voit.at/tagstore/en/papers.shtml

Further ideas lead to my concept with : https://karl-voit.at/managing-digital-photographs/

@pedro is using a rather old (but very cool) protocol:

It had its high time approx. 90s to mid 00s. I very much enjoyed it.

It ticks all the boxes when it comes to and freedom of interface: a number of web-based services, CLI tools like (mine), and other GUI-tools.

I hope it'll get popular again so that people who care could forget all web-based including :

It's a fun story to read about how #Microsoft fu**ed up this great idea with their weird implementation.

I do write a lot about Personal Information Management (PIM) topics, I did some PIM research about local file management, I love to give lectures on PIM topics.

Therefore, it's quite natural that people start to believe that my personal PIM situation is near perfect.

The truth is far from that:

It comes with a set of (Python-)tools that provide great assistance for adding and managing tags, date-stamps, time-stamps, ...

There's a demo as well: https://karl-voit.at/demo-filetags-intro/

I'm using it on a daily basis & I've got great feedback by other people using it as well.

seems to have lost a key that gives attackers access to basically ALL Microsoft services including "Login with Microsoft".

In other words: it looks like anything from Microsoft clouds including 3rd-party authentication is compromised. And they won't set up their systems from scratch as you'd normally do after a hack.

I've seen the hype and warned the users of long-term lock-in effects. Then OneNote failed and people lost (parts of) their data.

I've seen the hype and it happened again.

Now, I see the hype. (At least the file format is an open one.)

With #reddit basically killing all 3rd-party apps (https://www.reddit.com/r/redditdev/comments/13wsiks/api_update_enterprise_level_tier_for_large_scale/) I just wanted to remind you of my article that warned about losing all important contributions on large platforms:

https://karl-voit.at/2020/10/23/avoid-web-forums/

You should think of using alternatives that do not suffer from all these lock-in effects.

I'd strongly suggest a revival of the good old #Usenet (#newsgroups). We've got plenty of awesome clients for that already.

If he'd spoken to me a while back, I could have spared him lots of dead ends. 😜

He also evaluated and he found https://en.eagle.cool/

His preferences are different to mine. I'd never go with sidecar files, one interface only nor with a database.
