Ask HN: Options for self-hosted media cataloguing tools?
2 by Rumperuu | 1 comments on Hacker News.
I currently track my media through a variety of sites (e.g., Goodreads for books, Letterboxd for films). I want to: a) move from these services to something self-hosted; and b) combine all the various types of media into a single catalogue. The only two self-hosted tools for this that I've found so far are Bookwyrm and Koillection. Bookwyrm has interesting social features through ActivityPub, but as far as I can tell it isn't extensible to media other than books. Koillection is content-agnostic, but doesn't come with any default media types (inconvenient) doesn't appear to have any sort of import function for the data I export from the sites I'm currently using (dealbreaker). The key features I would like are: • visually customisable; • record notes for each item catalogued; • automatically retrieves cover art; and • provides CSV importing. Can anyone suggest anything that would fulfil these? As far as I can tell, unless someone can suggest something I've overlooked my options are: • whip up something basic myself (but I'm time-limited at the moment so would like to avoid this if possible); • use Bookwrym and modify it to extend the Book object; or • use Koillection and try to manually import my data directly into the database.

New ask Hacker News story: Tell HN: Equifax free credit report dark patterns

Tell HN: Equifax free credit report dark patterns 4 by PopAlongKid | 0 comments on Hacker News. For years, I have been obtaining free annual credit reports (annualcreditreport.com) which must be provided by law. Recently, for the first time, when I tried to obtain my Equifax report, I was prompted for an email address and a mobile phone number, a new requirement that apparently cannot be bypassed. The other two bureaus, and Equifax previously, confirmed identity by asking knowledge based questions. They do not need my phone or email for anything. Next, trying to obtain the report by phone instead of web site per instructions, I got to the point where I entered my ZIP code on the phone keypad, the voice menu system correctly repeated the number back to me, but every time I press 1 to indicate it is correct, the system acts like it got an invalid response and only gives me the option to enter further information by voice, not by the phone keypad. Just as with my phone number and email...

New ask Hacker News story: Ask HN: Why can't the US government run their own social media?

Ask HN: Why can't the US government run their own social media? 2 by rglullis | 2 comments on Hacker News. With the news yesterday of POTUS joining threads.net and with the fanfare about the possibility of following him from other AP-compatible servers (like Mastodon), I was left wondering why is it that the White House couldn't just run their own services? Doesn't "POTUS is using threads for social media" feel a bit like "POTUS is using outlook.com for email"? Is there anything about the bureaucracy that stops their some small team to setup a Mastodon server on "social.whitehouse.gov" and make this a reality? I find it hard to believe that this would be "if it got hacked it could create diplomacy issues", because I don't think that Facebook is setting up any type of special infrastructure to deal with political figures on their platform. Also, none of this seems to be a problem for some of the EU governments. Maybe I am missin...
