[567.78 --> 568.48] I mean, come on.
[568.80 --> 569.94] Yeah, I mean, I should do.
[570.20 --> 574.16] I actually gave him some feedback about the app and how drives were identifying themselves.
[574.16 --> 577.24] He was using dev slash SDA as the main identifier.
[577.90 --> 581.94] And those of you that have worked with Linux servers for any time know that SDA is not a
[581.94 --> 588.08] guaranteed, you know, that drive could tomorrow when it reboots be SDB or SDQ or whatever it
[588.08 --> 588.46] might be.
[589.06 --> 592.78] And so he's actually enabled a bunch of other features as well around disk identification
[592.78 --> 595.82] via label and a bunch of other features too.
[596.00 --> 597.16] So it's a great release.
[597.26 --> 601.14] Go and check it over at github.com slash analog J slash scrutiny.
[601.28 --> 602.74] There'll be a link to that in the show notes.
[603.28 --> 603.50] Indeed.
[603.70 --> 606.02] It's at self-hosted.show slash 72.
[606.02 --> 610.84] Well, I think this next, I hate to call it app because it's much more than that, but
[610.84 --> 614.68] this next find of yours is going to be one that'll be hit with my kids.
[614.78 --> 615.60] It's called Cartridge.
[615.98 --> 617.78] It's a self-hosted game library.
[618.04 --> 623.66] It's really targeted at folks like me who have a ridiculous amount of classic ROMs because
[623.66 --> 625.82] I guess I just can't really go beyond the old games.
[625.92 --> 626.24] I don't know.
[626.34 --> 628.96] I just still love old retro games so much.
[629.54 --> 633.78] I was thinking how perfect this would be for anybody that's got a Steam Deck or any kind
[633.78 --> 635.34] of gaming handheld.
[635.62 --> 636.56] Oh, yeah.
[636.92 --> 637.24] Yeah.
[637.52 --> 642.86] So essentially what this thing is, it's a self-hosted game library for ROMs.
[643.30 --> 644.08] Read-only media.
[644.18 --> 645.04] That's what it stands for, right?
[645.82 --> 647.20] In the old days.
[647.56 --> 649.06] Read-only memory.
[649.58 --> 649.94] Oh, yeah.
[649.96 --> 650.44] Probably that.
[651.10 --> 652.52] Right now it's quite basic.
[652.64 --> 653.78] It's still in its early stages.
[653.96 --> 655.56] It's version 0.1.
[655.82 --> 660.38] But on the roadmap, there's some really interesting features which I thought we should mention
[660.38 --> 660.90] on the show.
[660.90 --> 667.18] So for now, you can scan for ROM files and match it with an IGDB game information database.
[667.74 --> 671.86] And you can serve ROM download links alongside those game details.
[672.18 --> 677.80] But the things that are coming that actually have me really interested are user creation.
[677.98 --> 681.78] So you'd be able to manage access to games for your kids and say, right, you're not allowed
[681.78 --> 682.80] to play Sonic the Hedgehog.
[683.00 --> 684.18] It's too risque.
[684.18 --> 689.80] Or users can request games a bit like, you know, Plex requests or what's it called?
[690.00 --> 691.30] Ombi, I think these days.
[691.92 --> 694.38] But here's the coolest one.
[694.70 --> 699.78] He's planning to add support to play select ROMs in the browser using JavaScript emulators.
[700.42 --> 704.06] That really would make it perfect on the deck because you got a web browser on the deck.
[704.72 --> 706.68] It's just a nice way to display your ROMs too.
[707.04 --> 708.70] There's that element of it that I think I like.
[708.70 --> 713.42] For me, they're all just in a folder that just sits on my file server.
[713.60 --> 715.06] There's nothing really flashy about it.
[715.12 --> 718.14] There's no front end like I have with my movies and my TV shows.
[718.80 --> 722.40] You know, there's no way for the kids really to kind of review them and select them.
[722.64 --> 725.62] It's sort of like dad sets them up with one and lets them go for a while.
[726.02 --> 730.92] So if you're interested in that kind of retro gaming scene, go and check that out.
[731.04 --> 732.64] There'll be a link in the show notes.
[732.88 --> 734.08] The app is called Cartridge.
[734.08 --> 739.32] Now, you were checking out a self-hosted bookmark management tool called Service.
[739.98 --> 740.64] Yes, I was.
[740.76 --> 743.54] And this is something that I use a lot in my workflow.
[743.90 --> 749.12] I find a story, I'm reading a story, and I want to capture it while I'm on the go or something like that.
[749.50 --> 751.36] And I want to save it in a bookmark manager.
[751.44 --> 753.78] I don't use bookmarks a lot in my web browser.
[753.98 --> 760.56] But I do use bookmarks a lot with services that will capture the URL and tag them and generate feeds around them.
[760.56 --> 769.84] And then on top of that, I even have tooling internally that will send them, depending on how I tag a link, to different channels for different show production purposes.
[770.48 --> 776.30] So a self-hosted bookmark manager has been on my radar for a long time.
[776.76 --> 779.90] And this is one that I think has a lot of potential.
[780.16 --> 782.00] It's super easy to get up and going.
[782.20 --> 783.76] They make a Docker image available.
[784.14 --> 787.80] They've got an example Docker Compose that you replace a few variables.
[787.80 --> 793.94] The application also creates an environment variable folder and a file where you can go in there and set some environment variables if you need to.
[794.38 --> 800.94] The idea is it's a self-hosted bookmark manager that lets you organize bookmarks with tags, group them together.
[801.16 --> 809.00] And then it also has a really cool command line palette so you can find them, search through them, get at them really quickly.
[809.10 --> 811.52] This sounds like something you wouldn't need very often.
[811.52 --> 819.70] But sometimes we're two weeks down the road after a story came out and we remember, wasn't there a story about such and such?
[819.84 --> 821.02] It's great for that kind of thing.
[821.42 --> 828.66] I mean, I'm curious to know what your workflow actually is because I do a bunch of collation into two weeks in between each episode.
[829.52 --> 834.16] Like on Reddit, for example, I'll upvote something or I'll star it or save it.
[834.38 --> 839.12] And then I'll go through and look at the things I've saved in between when we're creating a show doc, for example.
[839.12 --> 852.94] I would love it if I could have some way of scraping those saved Reddit things into a bookmark manager or some description, but also have a way of saving things outside of Reddit on mobile because that's where I discover, you know, that's where I doom scroll.
[853.48 --> 854.48] Yes, same.
[854.96 --> 855.36] Absolutely.
[855.68 --> 858.80] I mean, that is the number one requirement for this workflow for me.
[859.36 --> 868.28] So I have not gotten that far to test this because as I was registering and setting it up, I started getting server 500 errors and then it was time to do the show and I never got it working after that.
[868.28 --> 879.06] So I don't know what the mobile workflow is, but what I use today, and this is what this will have to do, is I use Pinboard and there's apps that you can install on the share sheet.
[879.06 --> 884.18] So, you know, I'm looking at a story on Reddit or I'm in a newsreader or I'm on a web page.
[884.90 --> 887.76] Every application on mobile lets you share the URL.
[888.10 --> 890.14] And so you got to have something that works with that.
[890.38 --> 893.38] So right now what I do is I share, send it to Pinboard.
[893.38 --> 898.68] A lot of times it just auto generates the title, but sometimes I put a title in and then I give it a tag.
[899.10 --> 900.70] So like for this show, it's SSH.
[901.24 --> 902.76] For Linux Action News, it's LAN.
[903.24 --> 905.96] Pinboard generates RSS feeds for each one of those tags.
[906.16 --> 908.56] So then I bring that into my feed reader.
[908.92 --> 916.02] So I have meta feeds essentially in my RSS feed reader for each of the shows where I have every link from across every service that I've collected.
[916.02 --> 924.42] So when it's time to sit down and prepare a show doc, I bring up my feed reader, I go to self-hosted, I've got, you know, Reddit links, I've got emails.
[924.50 --> 928.86] Because when an email comes in, I might throw it in our pay stock and then I'll pinboard that as well so I can grab that.
[928.90 --> 930.42] And I just have it all right there in one list.
