Snipe-it … I’ve been using forma a while to track my IT equipmente. Dies a Hood job. Didnt know about Homebox. Just checked the demo. It appears to be what I’ve been looking for for years now. Will try it soon. Very much developed by single person. I but risky if development is dropped but then CSV export at least saved the data that can be imported into spreadsheet

I’m not into ebooks that much and don’t have experience with them. I still prefer paper. I’ve just been totally put off by all the bad stuff I’ve read about DRM etc. Is it really a problem and how do these tools that you mention above cope with them. I’m one of those that often annotates with pencil in the books I read. Can you annotate DRM protected content with Open Source tools?

The way things are going with audio/music is a sign of how bad things are getting. Its even becoming difficult to find a DVD or audio CD that you like and want to own. So, the only way to consume is via streaming. The only way to move away from this is for production to be self funded and self published. But why would artists move away from this system if it pours money into the already exploding bank accounts?
