- lordswork 4y agoWhat mechanism(s) do you use to download articles and videos?
- go_elmo 4y agoCurl is helpful
- pluc 4y agoPrint as PDF + yt-dlp
- alexitosrv 4y agoAdd read mode before printing to pdf and we are set.
- cratermoon 4y agoI've become a convert to Zotero[1], even though I'm not an academic. It will automatically snapshot websites (although paywalls and such can trip it up) and for many academic sites will find a PDF version and attach it. For anything it can't automatically archive, it's easy to attach or provide a link to your personal archive version. When I need to manually archive something, wget as: wget --mirror --convert-links --adjust-extension --page-requisites --no-parent https://site-to-download.com For videos, youtube-dl or its successor, yt-dlp[2] work well. 1 https://www.zotero.org/ https://www.zotero.org/ 2 https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp
- causi 4y agoHow does Zotero compare to HTTRACK?
- cratermoon 4y agoZotero is a complete reference manager. Academics use it to manage references and create citations and bibliographies for their research. It can index books, articles, papers, and all sorts of things. It has extensions for popular browsers to allow easily adding not just websites, but other sources. Comparing it with HTTrack is comparing apples and oranges.
- RobotToaster 4y agoThis extension automatically creates archives (local and on archive.org) for your bookmarks https://github.com/rahiel/archiveror https://github.com/rahiel/archiveror
- Bayart 4y agoI use browser extension MarkDownload to save all the articles I want to keep aside as Markdown. They end up in Obsidian.
