feather wiki looks really neat, but like #TiddlyWiki, I don't think it's multi-user.

That's a second vote for docuwiki, though, so I'll take a serious look at that. ;)

Hey #tooters,

What's the easiest #wiki software to #SelfHost nowadays?

I don't mean "easier than nextcloud"

I mean "almost as easy as #syncthing" XD

Don't say MediaWiki. I want simple markup, not that eldritch horror.

Preferably multi-user, so #TiddlyWiki, as much as I love it, is probably out.

"Asling for a friend." 😂

Rediscovered* my 2006 and 2008-2010 notes/journals that were made with #TiddlyWiki version 2.
So many good feels from seeing that lovely, efficient interface, again.

Right now, I've been journaling since Jan 2019 using my own script that:

Fetches "hashtags" from previous journal entries (all individual markdown files)
If a YYYYMMDD-journal.md file isn't extant, it creates the journal entry for today, writes the list of previously-used hashtags, and appends the date
Appends the time as a markdown heading to the *journal.md file
launches $EDITOR $file

I'm thinking of trying out #vimwiki as a potential replacement or more likely as a complement to my journal system

(If anyone is interested in my journaling system, I can publish it in my Codeberg repo. I haven't done so thus far because it's private, although there isn't anything really private in the script itself)

* Rediscovered in the sense of remembering they were there, in my ~/Documents/ directory all along ;)

building my newsletter in #ProcessWire with the #ProMailer module has been great. Here is the custom interface I built for drafting dispatches. Notice there is also a #TiddlyWiki Import tab at the top, which accepts individual tiddler urls and will pull in the images and text from my wiki to help me get started with the draft.

The layout is also custom, down to the height of the body field and the placement of the columns and image fields.

I wonder if people know how to have fun with a computer without social media, let alone without the web in general, let alone without the internet in general. Some of the most fun I've had recently was dinking around with #Plan9 with nothing more than a bunch of manpages and the occasional web lookup via #Mothra (a web browser who's capabilities closely match #Dillo — very web 1.0)

I was literally writing Uni class notes in MS Word until I discovered Markdown (not until after abandoning grad school, sadly). When I learned about it, I was like,

"This is a UNIX system, I know thi—"

I mean,

"This is basically just #WikkaWiki or early #TiddlyWiki markdown! I already know this!!"

Thank God for the #fediverse for teaching me terms like "grifter," "rent-seeking," and the like. Y'all have ruined this Texas boy 🤣

YAS. I wanna see TONS of anti-AI honeypots ;)
There needs to be a service called amislopornot.com that lets you punch in a git repo URL and tells you if there's any agents.md, claude, or copilot contributions. #Fedi, make this happen! 😆

Make .GIF for still images again. It was never meant to be used for animations. 😥
The fact that you can effortlessly convert an animated GIF to mp4 in like a few seconds with ffmpeg, shave off no less than half the storage with no perceptible loss of quality (on a highly dithered image, to boot!) really tells you it's just not meant for that.

I was literally writing Uni class notes in MS Word until I discovered Markdown (not until after abandoning grad school, sadly). When I learned about it, I was like,

"This is a UNIX system, I know thi—"

*COUGH*

I mean,

"This is basically just #WikkaWiki or early #TiddlyWiki markdown! I already know this!!"

And I've loved it ever since, like 7 years, now.

Thank God for the #fediverse for teaching me terms like "grifter," "rent-seeking," and the like. Y'all have ruined this Texas boy 🤣

There needs to be a service called amislopornot.com that lets you punch in a git repo URL and tells you if there's any agents.md, claude, or copilot contributions. #Fedi, make this happen! 😆

Make .GIF for still images again. It was never meant to be used for animations. 😥
The fact that you can effortlessly convert an animated GIF to mp4 in like a few seconds with ffmpeg, shave off no less than half the storage with no perceptible loss of quality (on a highly dithered image, to boot!) really tells you it's just not meant for that.

I wonder if people know how to have fun with a computer without social media, let alone without the web in general, let alone without the internet in general. Some of the most fun I've had recently was dinking around with #Plan9 with nothing more than a bunch of manpages and the occasional web lookup via #Mothra (a web browser who's capabilities closely match #Dillo — very web 1.0)

Shameless plug(s):
