That would be similar to the “web of trust” approach where users vouch for each other, and you can determine how much you trust someone, or at least their account, based on how many others vouch for them, and much you trust those users.

I’m sorry for you Ioss. Was it caused by poor font design?

I know it’s an old photo, and they probably had to stay very still, but she look so totally done with his nonsense.

I came here to mention these too. One addition that can be helpful in large trees is to add a depth attribute to each node so that you can easily limit the depth of subtree you retrieve.

That’s going to make for a fascinating episode of an “mysterious unsolved crimes” programme one day soon.

Why do you think siblings would hate each other? Giving them the mental and emotional tools to interact kindly and calmly with others will also ensure their reltionship is positive.

Weirdly I can see your blasphemous comment about instant ‘coffee’ in your history, linked to this post, but it doesn’t show up in the comments here. I suspect it’s because it’s been voted down to -30.

In answer to the assertion you made about coffee being all the same, I say: you heathen! You Philistine! You non-appreciator of tasty coffee! If you like instant, that’s one thing, but many feel (as do I) that instant isn’t a patch on properly roasted, ground, and brewed coffee.

You can’t use anything but maximum super strength, all the time.

It’s always fun to get your offset slightly wrong, and jump into the middle of an instruction.

I like what you’ve done so far. It’s quick and simple to use. The one bugbear I’ve come across so far is it converting tables to html, rather than storing them as proper markdown.

I read the reasoning in the documentation, and certainly for my usecases, maintaining it as markdown is more important than trying to perfectly preserve the visual formating, especially as I use multiple devices with different sized screens, so I need different fornatting on each! That’s one of markdowns main strengths, it doesn’t preserve formatting so you don’t need to think about it and it’ll be displayed in a reasonable manner anywhere.

Is there any reasonable chance that there could be an option, at the server level rather than per page, to store tables as markdown?

Eink displays are pretty awesome for this sort of thing, I repuposed a kobo ereader as a household info display and it worked nicely. Those PaPiRus screens look easier to interface with, but a little small for reading wikipedia articles. They’d do in a pinch, but the eyestrain would have me looking for a bigger solution.

You’re going to need a monitor as well.

Wikipedia has torrents of the text, but you’d have to download images separately.

Debian, and its base packages have mirroring instructions here. Third party repos would need mirroring separately.

It depends if you want the images or previous versions of wikipedia too. The current version is about 25Gb compressed, the dump with all versions is aparently multiple terabytes. They don’t say how much media they have, but I’m guessing it’s roughly “lots”.

Instructions may have been unclear, but you got the gist of it.

Right, as we all know, the most sensible way to do nonary algebra is in ternary, so we simply calculate 22+21 and convert back to nonary, and optionally decimal afterwards. So, 2 add 1 is 0, carry the 1, add it to 2 for 10, add the 2, carry the one, pad to 4 places and we have 0120, or 16 in base 9. Now to convert to decimal… removes shoes and socks

This is why learning binary is so important. In base two, the same equasion is 1000+0111=1111, now you just convert back to decimal with: 8+4+2+1= sweats and starts counting on fingers before reaching for calculator

elinks? Getting fancy, aren’t we? They can have lynx and like it or they’ll have to learn to appreciate openssl s_client!

Grrrr. Neovim? I question your devotion to the cause of righteousness. Think well upon your choices lest you too be cast out from the light of the glory of the almighty vim!

Cast out the unbeliever! Drive them from our light! Let them not pass amongst the true believers lest they lead others astray!
