Looking for an inventory management system for my books.
Preferably #SelfHosted.
Looking for an inventory of physical books, a "wishlist" feature that I can export or print out, and scanning via barcode.
If it could link with Calibre for my digital versions, so much the better.

Annual reminder that your kids are a lot more likely to be hit by a car while trick-or-treating than they are to be poisoned by halloween candy.
Nobody likes your kids enough to give them free drugs, but plenty of people like driving enough to give them a free high-body impact from a two-ton machine.

You really want to get people back to the office? Forget free cocktails. Think free daycare, six month parental leave, 25 days vacation + holidays, extensive carer benefits for those who need them, the expectation that you’ll stay home and rest rather than work if you’re sick, flexible hours, further help with the enormous cost of living in the cities you operate in.

Dat hele Kieskompas is een grap.
Alleen beroeps-gedeformeerde politicologen kunnen de PVV zo dicht bij het midden plaatsen.
Bepaalde punten zullen langs de academische lat wellicht centristisch of zelfs linksig zijn... Maar alleen als je een paar cruciale punten gemakshalve vergeet.
Met name dat die centristische standpunten volgens hun visie van toepassing zijn op Henk en Ingrid. En expliciet niet op Achmed en Fatima.
ALs je zo een evident radicaal-rechtse partij in het centrum positioneert, ben je enorm aan het vertroebelen. Ook als je dat politicologisch allemaal onderbouwt.
En zo bewijs je niemand een dienst. Niet de samenleving, en niet de politieke wetenschap.
Niemand, behalve extreem-rechts zelf, die weer netjes hun scherpe randjes krijgen bijgeschoren door nette, redelijke mensen die vooral niet bevooroordeeld willen lijken.

Breek met fossiele subsidies, kolonialisme, imperialisme, de wooncrisis en armoede. Het is tijd om te breken met systemen die échte verandering tegenhouden. Waar breek jij mee?
Stem voor een menswaardig bestaan voor iedereen, ongeacht je huidskleur, nationaliteit, religie, of je een beperking hebt, genderidentiteit, de grootte van je portemonnee of van wie je houdt.

"Love" (do not love) promotions from shops that are loudly announced as "ORDER FOR FREE", and then the actual promo is "we will select 3 orders today that will get their order amount refunded, but you'll only know afterwards"
And like, this is completely useless for the one demographic who would actually benefit from free anything, namely poor folks
There's a lot of technical details, and a lot of issues that hampered its adoption, and a lot of specialized tools, but like, once you ignore all the details, that's the pitch and that's what it does (and the design *does* broadly seem to make sense).
So, after too many hours of digging through specs and primers and whatnot, here's a brief summary of why Linked Data and RDF and all are interesting:
It allows to link "databases" (datasets) across different sites, without needing centralized coordination. It's like federation for datasets, and there is a whole ecosystem of tools for merging and relating between such datasets.
It was essentially an attempt to extend the 'open web' to machine-readable data, not just human-readable webpages.

@eevee can I throw "stop using 'rng' when you mean 'random'" onto this plea?
If you enjoy OpenStreetMap or StreetComplete, you should also have a look at OpenFoodFacts: https://world.openfoodfacts.org/ -- it's the same thing, but for cataloguing food.
You can scan the food that you have laying around the house (via the website or app), or help fix information about existing products by answering questions based on other people's photo uploads: https://hunger.openfoodfacts.org/
