Hey #fedizens, I'd like to #askfedi about home #library management software for paper #books. What are y'all using and liking, and how much work is it to maintain? I'd like something:
- Self-hosted or standalone
- Open source
- Ideally capable of remote access
I'm currently using Calibre with some tricks, and it's ... OK. The more books I catalog the more it's groaning (I have 500+ paper books).
I've done plenty of web searches, please no search results you haven't used yourself!
@crossgolf_rebel, hast du das schon gesehen?

Die wollen eine Alternative/Konkurrenz/Klon zum #Fediverse bauen, obwohl es letzteres schon gibt?
Mit viel Geld/Zeit/Ressourcen?
Wär's da nicht sinnvoller/ressourcenschonender den Aufwand in die Weiterentwicklung/Verbesserung des #Fediverse zu stecken?
There is no infinite growth on a finite Planet!
Wird das unter #Fedizens beobachtet/diskutiert?
Even more remarkable is the near complete absence of the #ActivityPub developer community in mingling in the social side of the discussion.
To learn how #fedizens actually *experience* this here fediverse. A #fediverse which results from them tying their apps together, to hopefully get more than the sum of individual parts. By means of facilitating #interoperability, technically speaking. But it involves more than getting that feature across the wire to the next app.
There's exists a clear gap between #sociosphere and #technosphere, where the latter must serve the former to bring real solutions. Otherwise it is all apps and not much seamless social fabric to navigate. No peopleverse anywhere in sight. Just apps and users of them.
The apps see great success, and I enjoy their use a lot. But I don't see a future for the app-centric fediverse where it comes to providing mankind the future of #SocialNetworking.
@unattributed exactly.
I practiced myself in avoidance of the term, and found that to be refreshing and lending a different perspective.
"Users" carries an aspect of depersonalization, but also implies an ownership relationship that creeps into the developers thinking, and even where the noble ones say "I serve MY users" it has consequences to the entire dynamics around software dynamics, and how the solution deliverable is able to serve the needs of different stakeholder groups.
Social experience design focusses on needs-based development and starts to consider problem statements first for all identified stakeholders in the solution delivery process.
For fediverse I use #fedizens on occasion, the residents of the fedi universe.
#Fedi #PSA: My last message garnered a spam from a bot, claiming I would get $$ for posts receiving more than 10 likes.
Any bot offering money for popularity is almost certainly spying on the #Fediverse.
#Fedizens: is there an appropriate response to this kind of action? Yes, I blocked @verifnoootiff at mastodon.world. But who is running it? and why?
[EDIT: Since the bot meister is, obviously, intrigued, let me add #Moderators #Mods #FediMods for reach.]
#GoodMorning and good #tzag, #SDF-ers, #DamGudCyberchatters, and friendly #Fedizens.
Humpday's already here, and I'm looking forward to Friday already. Not much longer now....
In the meantime, I've got my morning #coffee that I ground up this morning so it's fresh and good, just like I hope the weekend is.
😌
