Still a work in progress, but even at this stage, I hope it can help you and anyone you know who has been affected by the Pocket shutdown.
The only reason I used Pocket was to save longer articles, ebooks, journals, etc with one click so they would sync with the free p2k (Pocket2Kindle) service and automatically end up on my Kindle. Is there anything similar?
Love the list, just a quick callout, these are pretty resource light services for self hosting, even $5/month seems like a stretch.
If you’re already running a server, the added overhead for a bookmark manager has got to be fractional watts, especially of you’re not bookmarking constantly.
If you’re doing a standalone server just for this, these can more than likely be hosted on a Raspberry Pi which uses 5W under load (maybe $1/mo under heavy load), and are incredibly lean when idle (pennies/month).
I do think your post does a good job making people think about the hidden costs of self hosting, but done right self hosting energy can be greatly reduced
