    The multi select is what has drawn me to trying a few times. It seems more intuitive. I will have to give it another look.

    Thanks for the links. I will have to give it a try again. Maybe I will take a swing at making a simple plugin.

    I'm curious what you think of Kakoune? I have been a vimmer for years but I am pretty interested in Kakoune. The few times I have tried it I have been turned away by the lack of plugins and the sort of strange plugin architecture. I keep thinking about it though.

    This is a really striking example to me of how awesome of a media podcasting is to me. When I heard this news, I was actually genuinely happy for the guy, in a way that I don't normally feel for random internet people. Listening to the podcast for the last while (I actually don't remember when it started) has been an amazing and educational experience.

    Congrats and I am looking forward to see how Ear Hustle evolves with this change!

    I am in the same situation. I bought one years ago at a surplus store and haven't looked back. I think I am on my third or fourth one at this point. At this point I don't think I could ever go back to using a non split keyboard.

    Every time I come across one of these threads, I always want to buy a mechanical keyboard, but I think that just comes down to my love of endless tinkering. When I really think about it I can't think of a reason to actually buy one.

    When he arrived at the hospital, he said he "found a good parking spot and walked into the ER."

    He said it was difficult to assess how deeply the nail penetrated, but the nail left bruising and a nail-sized hole.

    That is the direction I am leaning right now. Seems like it will work decently. Perhaps I will find or build something else better in the future.

    Do you use the git plugin? I like that, but the plugin hasn't been updated in a couple of years. It could just be stable, but I don't want to use it if it is buggy, or not compatible with up to date versions of DokuWiki.

    Hmm, that is interesting. I had not heard of that one before. It looks like it has a web interface built in too. I will have to give that one a try.

    A recent example that comes to mind is that I saw Um on HackerNews.

    I really like the idea, but I don't want another program storing what are basically notes in another format and another location on my computers. Having to sync every little thing like this is painful. So I want to be able to have a small script to store that on my wiki.

    Or maybe I want to use it to import export data I want to hang on too. Like an archive of the data from the journal app I am currently using (Day One).

    The more I am thinking about it what I really need is a personal cms, where I can define models of data and manage them. The wiki is really a subset of that desire. I have wanted something like that for years now, but have never found anything quite right.

    I have been keeping my eye on a number of projects (Perkeep (was previously called Camlistore), and OwnCloud) are the two that pop into my head). At some point I might try and build it myself. That is just so much work though.

    This is basically what I have now, but it falls short in a couple of important ways.

    • Mobile editing, I really need to be able to create and query entries on the go, this is really hard with my current setup.
    • Programming API. The more I use it the more I want to tie it into various scripts of mine. With the unstructured text setup, this is really hard.

    That is kinda the way I am leaning right now, I like the idea of TiddlyWiki, but after looking at the source I am not even going to touch it.

    Two minor things the turn me off from DokuWiki are the fact that it's written in PHP (Not fun for me to hack on) and the fact that the API is a XML-RPC interface. Neither are dealbreakers, but also not ideal.

    I do really like the simple text based storage though. Very portable when I need to jump ship in the future. It also seems to have full text search which is nice.

    I have been looking for some software where I can brain dump all the things I need to remember on a constant basis so I can easily find it again in the future. A personal wiki basically. I am wondering what any of you tilderians are using?

    The things I am looking for:

    Absolute requirements:

    • Open Source: I want to be in control of the data myself, and I want to be able to hack on it myself as the need arises.
    • Self Hostable: Goes hand-in-hand with with open sourceness, I want the data to live on the server in my apartment, under my own control.
    • An API of some sort so I can programmatically add/read/modify data.

    Nice to haves:

    • Revision history of some sort.
    • Common/simple data format for easy backup and longevity.
    • Web interface, with mobile compatibility.
    • Lightweight as possible, so I can run it on a low powered server.

    Does anything know anything like that?

    Options I have heard of:

    Here is a previous discussion on the topic @ Lobste.rs

    I have been on fish for a few years too, and it makes writing shell scripts much better. I have a bunch of scripts, but I think one of my favorite/most used is my network command. Basically just a quick overview of your network connection. It does require a little program I wrote to make it pretty, but that would be really easy to remove. Also jq to show the GeoLocation.

    function network
    # Print network interfaces
    ip -4 -o a | cut -d ' ' -f 2,7 | cut -d '/' -f 1 | column -t | little_boxes --title "Network Interfaces"

    # Print public ip addresses
    printf 'ipv4 %s\nipv6 %s\n' (curl --silent --ipv4 icanhazip.com) (curl --silent --ipv6 icanhazip.com)  | little_boxes --title "Public IP Address"

    # Print location if "jq" command is present
    if command --search jq > /dev/null do
        printf 'location %s\n' (curl -s http://ipinfo.io/ | jq -r '.city + " " + .country') | little_boxes --title "GeoIP"
    end

    # Do a quick ping to google to test internet connectivity
    ping -c 4 -i 0.2 google.com | little_boxes --title "Ping Google"

    On a somewhat unrelated note, this makes me really want a built in personal user tagger, like RES has. So I can remember people.
