#junction

1 post1 participant0 posts today

I'm below the Macclesfield canal breach on the Trent & Mersey. Between the breach and me are 12 locks plus the stop lock where the Macclesfield joins the Trent & Mersey.

A #StopLock was to collect tolls at the #junction of canals of different owners. For example, Gas Street Basin had a stop #lock where an act of UK parliament forced a junction. For 20 years, Birmingham Canal Network had refused access to Worcester & Birmingham #canal, so goods had to switch boats over 65 feet of land!

Have used #Zotero @zotero as my browser #bookmark manager for a while now, and I'm very happy with it.

HTML bookmark export from #LibreWolf (#Firefox), and subsequent import in Zotero preserved all tags and folder structures, and the Zotero browser plugin allows for seamlessly adding new bookmarks.

Combined with the #Junction browser redirector (set as my default browser) I can now maintain and use my bookmarks like I always wanted to.

Unorthodox #browser #bookmarks experiment under #Linux:

I've switched from #Firefox's bookmark manager to #Zotero.

Export to HTML from FF bookmark manager, import into Zotero. Tags and folder structures were preserved, also some metadata.

It still feels like a bit of an overkill to keep Zotero open, but I have finally left that vendor lock-in for my bookmarks behind me. There's browser add-ons for Zotero that I had already used, so adding new bookmarks is painless.

Using #Junction, in addition, I'm enjoying how I get trained in opening bookmarks quickly, in the appropriate browser, depending on my respective privacy and security needs. Should have tried this combination earlier.
