We mostly use it privately, there are also a handful of software communities too that takes advantage of bridging.

Personally, I don’t care about Nazis, they come for the same reason I do, privacy and place to speak. I don’t have to let there negative disposition color the software.

Quartz or mkdocs

Or a makefile / justfile would be good too.

I put those on each directory and do just run to pick up the thing I was working on quickly.

Perplexica is interesting too, but it uses a moderate amount of ram because of elastic search.

And of course you need to have ollama running

I’ve always had an easier time jumping into an oop code base, then eg a lisp one.

I hear people when they say they don’t want their data mixed in with their logic but The pressure to structure code Is very nice.

I just wish people weren’t so aggressive with politics.

I’ve noticed a severe lack of perspective and empathy in these communities which has greatly deterred me from engaging.

Reddit was bad as well, but it seemed to attract a more rounded and informed community at least in the early days. Probably a function of fragmentation more than anything.

I suppose the problem that I had with Media Wiki is that every update would break extensions. Particularly mathjax and semantic media Wiki. I too amusing it with Docker which helps a lot.

So docuicki has a recent pages view which is really good and lists the user that made the edit. That’s what we use for a feed. There’s also an RSS plug-in that will display other feeds which is kind of nice if you want to discuss other articles.

We create Journal pages that link out to pages for events etc. The events are also linked to from a start page. We display the backlinks using the footer plugin.

Whilst it’s a bit different from social media in that there is no feed, it’s really nice that it provides, like a database of our family’s life in history.

We even have pages for cars and repair logs, computers and updates, everything. The struct plugin is amazing And you can always pop it open in SqliteBrowser too!

I’ve tried a couple of things and I just keep coming back to dokuwiki because it’s the best compromise.

No, I don’t. And that’s going to be one of our big differences here. Everyone in my family is tech literate and knows at least a little bit of programming.

I would strongly suggest dokuwiki. It’s like having a forever Journal of Family affairs and I really like it. I know it’s not quite the social media aesthetic but in my experience I found it to be the thing that stuck.

I would argue against Mediawiki though. It may be more user-friendly for some family members, but the maintenance becomes a nuisance And pulling things out of the database involves half a dozen joins.

Even though dokuwiki editing is text in markup, It’s not a hard concept to grasp and the simplicity makes it feel more tangible which may be appreciated by older family members.

There’s a plugin that does it, FoF or something, and then you can upload an image from your device and it’s pretty good. Some videos play others require downloading after uploading though.

Our family uses a post in flarum for a monthly feed and then moves a few of those images into a dokuwiki page with the gallery plugin.

I could never get mastodon to work with an app without using SSL.

I much prefer setting up a VPN and reverse proxy without having to deal with SSL. So it was really annoying not being able to use an app on the phone to connect to it.

We tried it and didn’t like the clunky UI.

We also tried Lemmy but it was a bit of a nuisance to maintain.

In the end we settled on a forum with a wiki.

We tried a few forums but in the end Flarum was the nicest, Just a bit of a pain to set the domain to be dynamic but it can be done with some PHP, alternatively, just use a reverse proxy with dnsmasq and wireguard pointing to that DNS.

As for a Wiki We have tried mediawiki, WikiJS And a couple others. I would recommend dokuwiki. (I hear good things about bookstack too).

I found reading through the rust book was a nice walkthrough of problems one can hit and how that language elected to solve them.

In terms of practice:

• Write a vim config
  • Shell out to python if you’d like
• Learn a bit of elisp and org-mode
• Rewrite all your shell scripts into a python CLI
• Write a pyqt6 GUI for tasks and notes on the exact way you’ve always wanted it to work
• Write an AI tool to auto-format links etc with phi3
  • Very exciting how much these smaller models can do!

It depends how you run it etc. You may have not been using a quantized model.

As others have said. I left photoprism for immich and it’s much better

Yeah that’s been my least favourite experience with Lemmy.

Many replies are hostile and highly opinionated.

I don’t have an answer for your question but it was a good question and it made me curious.

I’m in favour of domestic production but I would always want more information about it.

Perhaps more complex then what you’re hoping for.

But consider taking a look at hyprland. I’ve been very impressed with how modular and smooth this window manager is

I strongly recommend EndeavourOS. You’ll have more flexibility to experiment with different setups and greater access to software.

So I use reverse proxies etc with my containers for others services

But KeePass with rsync is easier for passwords. I just use termux on my phone

I recommend using a docker container, they make the whole thing painless and easy.

I think the Linuxserver.io one is what I used from memory.

I agree, it’s not often considered a systems programming language and it may not be the perfect tool here.

However, it is worth mentioning that cgo Can serve as a escape hatch depending on the use case.
