Yeah, I think I recognized him, but couldn’t find a half-decent pun on his name. Van Hamme was the closest I could find, look-wise.

Jean-Claude Van Horn ?

I discovered Trilium a couple days before discovering the project was dead. But here is TriliumNext now so it’s not that much of a problem (yay opensource!)

Works great on a computer, not as much on a phone. There are android apps to send directly something to it, but reading its content involves the webapp directly… which isn’t that bad but overall that’s not ideal. Still, after years of trying floss journaling apps one after another, it’s the only one I kept more than a couple weeks.

Seeing RocketChat in here, when they’ve been actively moving away from opensource for several years now, is at least a bit funny.

It seems recent versions of Lemmy don’t have that problem anymore, right?

I’ve recently discovered Trilium : markdown, electron app but works in pure web too if you host it somewhere, opensource, UX is ok by my standards, and the mobile web app works on Android too. And there is something of an ecosystem around, with extensions for browsers and the such. Sadly, I’ve also (and as recently) discovered its development was halted.

But there’s hope, and a TriliumNext project has seen light, which took right where Trilium stopped (and, from what I understood, they’re still mostly compatible at that point).

Does your definition of “stupid thing” applies to tickling itself?

why not? (haven’t seen any myself, tbh)

End users (so to speak) usally don’t buy full parmesan wheels, anyway ;)

It’s been there much longer, for one thing. But from what I recall, it’s been a mess specs-wise. I do especially remember Friendica/Zot’s author despairing over how little they followed their own specifications. I’m not sure they’re still relevant today

Well, I’ve finally found a way using plemmy instead of Lemmy.py. Basically :

from plemmy import LemmyHttp

lemmy = LemmyHttp('https://my.lemmy.instance/')

lemmy.login('username','password')

lemmy.edit_community(community_id=XXX,banner="http:/yyy.tld/img.jpg")

It’s still alive (on alternative repos), but it still has glaring issues : as decentralized as it wants to be, it still relies on centralized services (or “zites”, 0net’s own lingo) to manage authentication, for instance.

Basically, I wouldn’t be able to eat anything that speaks (I haven’t and don’t intend to, but that’s not what would prevent me from eating a “talking” parrot, for instance)

Totally, not to mention setting a huge precedent on the path of a better SC. Don’t get me wrong, I definitely AM excited by LK99 ;)

There are actually people (e.g. https://www.twitch.tv/andrewmccalip) who are currently trying to replicate this. But from what early (internet) experts said, even if it works, is replicable and legit, it wouldn’t allow much current through it, about a quarter of amp. Still promising, but not as groundbreaking as initially put.
