Those bookmarks are more or less the tip of the iceberg. And they were almost all created during $DAYJOB which was years ago. Although already then (~2017) i had about 3500 sources in my RSS Server. And of course, I lost track of everything remotely interesting.
Archiving those links was fundamental work for creating my news blog, which is still run privately until I figure out how to implement a community communication system (mostly commenting) that will work on an IPFS backend. I mean, the comment section of HN is what has made me come to this site for years.
It's unfortunate that you've lost track of the most interesting pages you've come across. Built-in browser bookmarking systems and managers leave much to be desired on the categorization and prioritization side, in my opinion.
(On a mostly unrelated note, around ten years ago, someone posted a motivational/productivity article on Hacker News that used video-game-themed metaphors and artwork, reminiscent of Heroes of Might and Magic. It involved going down one path or the other, and for one of the paths, the author asked whether you really wanted to be "hanging out with the hydras". I've never been able to find it since. Does anyone remember it or know how I could find it?)
I meant I was loosing interesting articles on my RSS server without filtering. I won't be loosing resources that I have already archived.
On the other side, having so many sources allows me to find articles about one topic and group them. Making future research for reporters easier. At least I hope so.
