I swear by ddrescue. It’s a situation I strive to never be but i’ve been there before. I used it once to rescue an employees masters capstone project from their dead work laptop.

Some people do it as a political statement. Blocking Israel is a real example I’ve seen.
Kagi! Worth every penny of the subscription. The emphasis on privacy is a big deal for me but the killer feature is the ability to customize results. I have sites I personally like/trust towards the top and have an ever growing blacklist of sites that don’t get shown at all. No more pinterest, spruce, or other seo spam sites!
Look into using GNU stow! It’s exactly what you’re doing but it creates the symlinks for you.
I love this solution, I’ve been using it for years. I had previously just been using the home directory is a git repo approach, and it never quite felt natural to me and came with quite a few annoyances. Adding stow to the mix was exactly what I needed.

A vertical mouse saved me from carpal tunnel syndrome. A few years ago I started developing wrist and elbow pain in my mouse arm along with the numbness. It was getting so bad I would take frequent breaks to ice my wrist and would wear a brace at night. I started looking for ergonomic mice and decided to try out a $15 Anker one from Amazon. I felt relief the day I started using it and within a few days the symptoms were gone entirely.
I’ve used ledger on and off for a few years. I use it along with ledger-autosync to process the transaction files I download from Amazon, Paypal, and my bank. I haven’t gone so far as to automate the import of those files, I just download them manually, but it does support that.
Wow, I’m also ex-mormon and found myself in a similar position when I received a book on Isaiah written by my grandfather. It sat on my shelf for years until I was working my way through an ancient to modern literature reading list and read it alongside the old testament.
For managing my library on disk, I just recently made the effort to set up the *arr apps. I love having the metadata, tagging, organizing, and file naming all consistent and automated. Previously I used mp3tag and filebot to manage them and it was way more manual. Everything is set up with docker-compose and Ansible.

For library frontend stuff:
Haven’t set up yet:
Doesn’t exist yet/wishlist:
Da Archive maybe? Most of my stuff has come from there.
