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.

chimay,

@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 :)

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. ๐Ÿ˜‰

chimay,

@nixCraft

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.

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 ๐Ÿ˜„

#TechLife #SysAdmin #Nextcloud #ITChallenges

chimay,

@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."

chimay, to fediverse

With all that #fediverse effervescence, I just rediscovered #irc with #weechat, and realized that #neomutt also support #usenet servers. Going back to the source in a way.

#nntp

chimay,

@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.

chimay, to FreeBSD

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!
