  • I'm guessing a dual disk setup (SSD for the OS, HDD with lots of room for service data) wasn't an option then? If there's any nook for such a deal I'd get my cat ready to snatch. It's sad to hear that this situation hits their instance in the current internet contingency of all things.

  • Could you build an interface on top of it to look exactly like discord with all of it’s functions?

    In theory yes, and Movim is movim' in that direction (yeah I invented that pun, blame me). That's part of the trick with XMPP, it's quite extensible.

  • My thoughts shopping around for a wiki solution

    Jump

  • Yeah there's a lot of stuff like that. If moving a page requires updating the history of every page that links to it, that's a whole mess that's much easier to handle when your wiki is a database.

    Heck, it's even worse. What happens if you move a page that has translations (with the Translate plugin) pages associated to it? Translated pages are not necessarily linked to each other, and even if they were, the semantics of trying to move each one can cause issues.

    In the end, IMO, it's not worth the effort to automatize. Just use something like implement "move" as "make a copy and leave a redirect behind"… which IIRC MediaWiki also does, and leave manual operators to decide what to do with the moved-from redirects after the fact.

  • Hello world!

  • My thoughts shopping around for a wiki solution

    Jump

  • DokuWiki

    The table syntax at least is miles better [than MediaWiki]

    For simple tables or for calculation tables, yes. It's relatively close to Markdown, even.

    Unfortunately it does not play nicely with any sort of advanced syntax on table cells themselves, such as lists inside tables. For that, I prefer the MediaWiki syntax even if it's ugly (a DW plugin called exttab3 provides near 1:1 MW table syntax).

    Some stuff like tags and moving pages have to be achieved via plugins. Seriously you can’t even rename a page?

    IMO it's one of its strengths, and you can do most stuff with plugins. You can even render your pages as web slides with one plugin, and in fact I used to use DW as my "PowerPoint" for quickie presentations for over a decade.

    All that said, there are DW "bundles" that incorporate some good and cool things together from the get-go. Anything that incorporates the Include, Indexmenu and Wrap plugins should be golden for getting started.

    As for moving, I've asked around for a couple of years (more like 8) and seen how things have changed (or not), and it turns out it's half a consequence of documents being plain text files (there had to be some sort of disadvantage to that!). While it might (actually, is) possible to just move a file, there is no cheap, simple and fast way to also update all links that point to that page across the wiki, as those might be not normal links or even be dynamically generated by plugins. So most implementers are at the philosophical stage of "what even is a 'move'?" ATM.

    I hear there are improvements with some plugins that advance some of the work, but I haven't tested myself. Don't need to, since I just use the Page Redirect plugin if I want to mark stuff as "moved".

    Mutilates article titles. Makes everything lowercase and replaces non alphanumeric chars with underscores (or something else configurable)

    Mutilates file names and mutilates article titles, separately.

    The former is one of the PITAs in the design I feel. There are good, stable patches that allow uppercase filenames in the filesystem (as well as Unicode and even emojis) bu no core config option to enable them. The closest option is "safe filename encode" I think, which allows most accented letters, diacritics and stuff, but no punctuation signs, and still replaces into underscores.

    I get the why (it's very useful for making sure article and section IDs are unique) but, like, still. It's 2026, I can name my second video card like the poop emoji and my system won't complain.

    The latter is a configurable option actually. Just set the "use heading" preference to "always" and articles will always be titled the way the first heading available does it (so, technically, the same behaviour as MediaWiki).

    Disclaimer

    I've used MediaWiki for 6 years and DokuWiki for [checks notes] about 18.

  • Sounds like a pretty good argument for ditching both gnome and systemd in one swift go, which can only sound like a win. Perhaps we'll be seeing a supervisord- or openrc-based Linux distro for the EU.

  • Hmmm I can't think of any single Linux distro that is racist and colonialist enough... but perhaps the connections to Israel coudl suggest something like Hannah Montana Linux?

    But at least we know it can't be any RedHat derivative since all that is strongly US bound, like in a BDSM kind of situation. Back in the time I even left Fedora because they were incredibly racist and even their community channels would refuse to attend to common questions from Latin American users unless they somehow doxxed themselves into verifying themselves as Not-From-Cuba or smth.
