It's great to have gopher and gemini protocol, but why not use markdown (or orgmode) as a simple yet powerful one ?

Imagine, your notes rendered natively in your browser : headings, lists and so on, but no bloated js.

@reiver

  • more heading levels : an elaborate document can require as much as 6 levels
  • links formatted like in markdown, this way you could insert one anywhere
  • hierarchical (nested) lists, if not already there
  • also, the possibility to have a TOC, especially for long documents.
  • tables
  • maybe some orgmode- style #+ blocs, like #+begin_center

that's all I see for now :)

Last night's final email: 'I need a modification to Nextcloud to do these things (note: unsupported and, moreover, questionable).'

First email this morning: 'Well, then, have you done it? I need it immediately!'

Good morning, world 😄

@stefano some people must think that real life computing is like in Star Trek series :

"You have five minutes to rebuild the ship, Scotty. And bring me also my earl grey, hot."

If it makes you feel any better... nobody actually knows how to use Git. We all just memorize a few shell commands and hope nothing implodes. 😉

lazygit helps, but I find mercurial (hg) more intuitive, I think everyone uses git bc of github & linux, not because it'd be their first choice.

With all that effervescence, I just rediscovered with , and realized that also support servers. Going back to the source in a way.

@yeti @profoundlynerdy

so, if I understand correctly, usenet is a newsgroup hierarchy that uses nntp as protocol ?

lemmy can do it, at least in one level.

you could have :

fediverse.mastodon.bsd-cafe.coolhashtag
fediverse.lemmy.lemmy-world.vim

Not an exact mirror, but a start.

Thanks to @vermaden's article :

I 've just installed linux-brave on #FreeBSD.

I noticed that if you are running the ./linux-browser-installer when /compat/ubuntu is already installed, you encounter some errors.

You need to install curl first in the /compat/ubuntu chroot, or you'll see this:

E: Unable to locate package curl

Same thing for gnupg:

E: gnupg, gnupg2 and gnupg1 do not seem to be installed, but one of them is required for this operation

Funny how you end up using #apt on freebsd!
