#Vim carnival submissions about #PKM.
I hoped to get more people involved, but that wasn’t the case. Perhaps the next one will be 😅.
I loved @malin' mapping:
inoremap <C-l> <c-g>u<Esc>[s1z=`]a<c-g>u
I'll let you find what it does

ZDNet: Why Edge stores your passwords in plaintext, according to Microsoft. “A security researcher found that Edge stores your plaintext passwords in memory when you use the browser to manage them. In a social media post, researcher Tom Jøran Sønstebyseter Rønning explained how the process works and posted a video showing it in action.”

Se passer de serveur c'est possible ?
On oublie Nextcloud, infomaniak, proton.
Que ça soit SaaS, sur un cloud ou auto-hébergé, pas de différence.
Ça s'appelle le "100% local first" ou encore "plain text system".
Ça permet de réduire son empreinte carbone en se passant de serveur et en faisant des économies au passage.
Et ça permet de tout faire tourner sur son ordi de tous les jours, avec de la synchro multi device.
- Les notes : des fichiers md synchronisés
- Les fichiers : des fichiers locaux synchronisés
- Les rappels : la convention todo.txt
- Les mots de passe : keepass ou pass unix
- La communication : Lora, bitchat, jami
On peut faire plein de choses, mais il y a des limites :
- Mail
- Calendrier
- Contacts
J'ai creusé tout ça dans une vidéo détaillée, parce que j'adore le small web :

Vous connaissez d'autres choses dans cette dynamique ?

The text editor a fan is building for me got another upgrade. This release candidate introduces a separate command line tool to convert LibreOffice and MS Office autocorrect configuration into the new AME autocorrect configuration format. https://github.com/stefano-pogliani/AME/releases/tag/v0.2.0-rc3 #Text #PlainText #TextEditor #LibreOffice #OpenSource #Markdown

I’m loving how this text editor is turning out. I was never satisfied with modern text editors so I teamed up with a person to fork one and improve on it by adding basically what I want out of a text editor for fiction writers. Screen reader focus has been improved upon launch. There is now a tool to convert LibreOffice autocorrect files to the autocorrect file that works with this program! Now we are working on exporting to Shun Manuscript Format and auto capitalization because I am lazy and do not always hit the shift key. https://github.com/stefano-pogliani/AME #PlainText #TextEditor #LivreOffice #Accessibility #OpenSource #Programming #Program

@raineer For my part I could live without #TeXLaTeX. Not by choice but I could survive via #SILE and #typst. On the other hand being forced to abandon #plaintext and use Word is a bridge too far.

I've added a #PlainText exporter to my bespoke #StaticSiteGenerator.
Most pages on my site now have .txt counterparts, which for now you can access by appending the extension to the URL directly, e.g. https://balintmagyar.com/colophon.txt
I'd like to look into hosting #GeminiProtocol and/or #Gopher mirrors of my site at some point, and this felt like a logical step towards that. Shout out to @fab for the inspiration!

Is it possible to disable the #libreoffice rich #clipboard? I would prefer just #plaintext. 🤔

Today, I am announcing plans for the biggest change to Pandora's Tale Wiki since its founding: I am going to port the wiki away from MediaWiki and convert it to a git repository of text files. This conversion process may not be easy, but it is necessary. If we continue down the current path, I am going to burn out and will not be able to continue maintaining the wiki. I have described the reasons for the change in the article for Project: Texts About Pandora
https://pandorastale.wiki/wiki/Pandora%27s_Tale_Wiki:Texts_About_Pandora#Hosting_availability
(Yes, the name of the article is a pun on the pages "Texts from Pandora" and "Texts from Pandora 2".)
https://comicsbyxan.com/comic/texts-from-pandora/
https://comicsbyxan.com/comic/texts-from-pandora-2/
There are still some things I need to determine.
1) First and most significantly, I have to figure out how to convert a MediaWiki instance into a git repository. I've found several scripts which claim to do it, but they all seem to have significant drawbacks in addition to being unmaintained. I would greatly appreciate advice from computer creatures in this regard.
2) Then I have to decide on the text format: Plaintext, gemtext, or markdown? There are ups and downs to each of them, though I'm not as worried since I believe it might be possible to convert between them later.
3) Finally I have to decide on the hosting software and platform if I want anyone else to be able to read it. Gitlab, Forgejo, sourcehut, or something else?
Once I answer these questions, I am going to move Pandora's Tale Wiki to a git repository, and then I will ask Miraheze to shut down their copy of the wiki. I don't know how long this process will take, but I believe it's the only way I can continue the wiki.
