In that vein, there's vimwiki https://github.com/vimwiki/vimwiki a markup DSL and some vimscript, works, plaintext so still grepable (I'd suggest the_silver_searcher over grep these days), will export to HTML - soup On Tue, May 21, 2024 at 3:26 PM John Stoffel via WLUG <wlug(a)lists.wlug.org> wrote: > >>>>> "Tim" == Tim Keller via WLUG <wlug(a)lists.wlug.org> writes: > > > Sadly no.

Beyond that now it becomes hosted somewhere, etc. I keep wanting to learn 'org-mode' in emacs. But I never get there. What I do use is a little header lines in emacs and a setup where it updates the date whenver I save the file. This way I know when I last edited the file (inside emacs at least) which is a great way to keep on top of things. I'd be happy to share with what I do in emacs.

Re: Hierarchical note taking, Joplin, Trilium, browser extensions, etc..

by Tim Keller

Sadly no. I've looked at DokuWiki a couple of times. The problem is this. I'm lazy. The lowest barrier to entry is simply a directory called "Notes" with a bunch of text files. Being text and using a unix-like system, I've got tools like grep to find stuff. I figure the next lowest thing is some program that lets me take notes that I can then organize into some index and search against it as well. Beyond that now it becomes hosted somewhere, etc. Tim.

LLM's and graphical interfaces.

by Tim Keller

A couple meetings ago Jansen showed up a really cool graphical interface for LLM. Does anybody remember what it was? Thanks, Tim. -- I am leery of the allegiances of any politician who refers to their constituents as "consumers".

The A/V Fiasco last night..

by Tim Keller

It's clear to me that this self hosted Jitsi instance isn't up to the task, either under powered or the version of jitsi they let you install is deficient. Next meeting we'll go back to using the other jitsi service that worked and explore other options. Thanks, Tim.

Reminder! Meeting Today (May 8th, 2024) 7PM!

by Tim Keller

Hey Everybody, We've got a meeting today! Date/Time May 8th, 2024, 7PM Location: Technocopia, 44 Portland St. Virtual Location: https://jitsi.uvhash.org/WlugMA (Instance is up and running!) Topic(s): Latest version of KiCAD? Ondsel CAD: Ramifications of a company pumping money into FreeCAD.. but they're fixing bugs? IBM eats another cloud tool.. Time to embrace the Tofu? Live I might log into Digital Ocean and spin up a zulip instance! As usual, the conversation is always lively, and we always end up talking about all manner of interesting stuff. Snacks and refreshments (Grape Fanta!) will be provided and we'll head off to dinner afterwards! Later, Tim. -- I am leery of the allegiances of any politician who refers to their constituents as "consumers".
