<microcolonel> This is so cool.
<john_cephalopoda> Hey.
<pie__> o/
<john_cephalopoda> The site is down for me.
<john_cephalopoda> (Wiki)
<microcolonel> yeah
<microcolonel> topic is from 2013
<microcolonel> no idea how recently the thing died
<john_cephalopoda> Probably between 2013 and 2014.
<SpeedEvil> archive.org
<SpeedEvil> ++
<john_cephalopoda> Latest logs are from 2014.
<john_cephalopoda> Oh, hey SpeedEvil
<SpeedEvil> hey
<pie__> i could have sworn that stilll worked relatively recently
<john_cephalopoda> pie__: IRC logs are from that time, so the logging bot has been down for at least that long.
<pie__> aha
<john_cephalopoda> The website has maybe just continued existing as a zombie until it broke.
<pie__> lol:
<pie__> <azonenberg_work> i dont even remember where it was hosted
<pie__> <azonenberg_work> i dont think i've touched that in 5+ years
<pie__> <pie__> azonenberg_work, homecmos wiki is down :p
<pie__> rekt
<X-Scale> single points of failure are a total turn off
<jn__> we should run all our wikis in git repos with multiple mirrors
<jn__> (half kidding)
<pie__> jn__, half serious
<jn__> ^
<pie__> im actually mildly curious about a p2p wiki now but busy with other stuff
<pie__> eh probably "just" have multiple nodes syncing to eachother
<john_cephalopoda> p2p wiki?
<pie__> i'd almost be up for hosting a wiki but i dont have any hosting experience or money to pay for aws
<pie__> john_cephalopoda, idk, just gluing random words together :P
<jn__> git potentially has some usability problems with non-programmers, unless you have a fancy web editor
<jn__> but it's very easy to mirror, which saves availablity
<pie__> could just have the web wiki autimatically mirrored to git periodically?
<jn__> (github is probably an acceptable Fancy Web Editor in many cases, IMHO)
<jn__> pie__: i'd strongly prefer solutions that are based on git over those where git is tacked-on
<john_cephalopoda> I can host a wiki.
<john_cephalopoda> I got a server.
<john_cephalopoda> I got a domain.
<jn__> i.e. github pages: cool. mediawiki + scraper that imports into git: meh.
<john_cephalopoda> dokuwiki?
<pie__> jn__, i dont disagree
<pie__> by the way i quite like the wiki theme the nixo people are using http://nixos.wiki/
<pie__> channel is #nixos-wiki
<jn__> (oh, i meant to say github wiki)
<jn__> john_cephalopoda: i never looked at the technical details of that
<pie__> not a huge fan of githubs built in wiki think
<pie__> thing
<john_cephalopoda> The problem of mediawiki is, that it relies on sql.
<john_cephalopoda> When your database has issues, your whole mediawiki dies.
<jn__> pie__: IDK it kinda does its job and doesn't immediately look horrible
<pie__> ¯\_(:/)_/¯
<pie__> http://fed.wiki.org/ looks kind of interesting
<pie__> linked from the p2p wiki page
<jn__> what the... it feels like tweetdeck

<john_cephalopoda> I could set up a github repo, to which anybody can push wiki pages in markdown format. I'd write a script to regularly upload those to the server, where they can be read like a normal wiki.
<john_cephalopoda> Git repos don't easily get lost, allow anybody to add a pull request and by using markdown, they can be easily ported to elsewhere.
<pie__> i dont use github
<john_cephalopoda> I could also set it up on gitlab or elsewhere.
<john_cephalopoda> Would take me probably ~20-30 minutes to set it all up.
<pie__> well, i've nothing against it other than that it's a tiny bit tedious
<pie__> and certainly better than no wiki at all :P
<john_cephalopoda> I don't think that editing a markdown file and git pushing it is much harder than editing a wiki via the web interface.
