pandorastalewikiToday, I am announcing plans for the biggest change to Pandora's Tale Wiki since its founding: I am going to port the wiki away from MediaWiki and convert it to a git repository of text files. This conversion process may not be easy, but it is necessary. If we continue down the current path, I am going to burn out and will not be able to continue maintaining the wiki. I have described the reasons for the change in the article for Project: Texts About Pandora <a href="https://pandorastale.wiki/wiki/Pandora%27s_Tale_Wiki:Texts_About_Pandora#Hosting_availability" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://pandorastale.wiki/wiki/Pandora%27s_Tale_Wiki:Texts_About_Pandora#Hosting_availability</a> (Yes, the name of the article is a pun on the pages "Texts from Pandora" and "Texts from Pandora 2".) <a href="https://comicsbyxan.com/comic/texts-from-pandora/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://comicsbyxan.com/comic/texts-from-pandora/</a> <a href="https://comicsbyxan.com/comic/texts-from-pandora-2/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://comicsbyxan.com/comic/texts-from-pandora-2/</a> There are still some things I need to determine. 1) First and most significantly, I have to figure out how to convert a MediaWiki instance into a git repository. I've found several scripts which claim to do it, but they all seem to have significant drawbacks in addition to being unmaintained. I would greatly appreciate advice from computer creatures in this regard. 2) Then I have to decide on the text format: Plaintext, gemtext, or markdown? There are ups and downs to each of them, though I'm not as worried since I believe it might be possible to convert between them later. 3) Finally I have to decide on the hosting software and platform if I want anyone else to be able to read it. Gitlab, Forgejo, sourcehut, or something else? Once I answer these questions, I am going to move Pandora's Tale Wiki to a git repository, and then I will ask Miraheze to shut down their copy of the wiki. I don't know how long this process will take, but I believe it's the only way I can continue the wiki. <a href="https://transgirl.cafe/tags/PandorasTale" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#PandorasTale</a> <a href="https://transgirl.cafe/tags/PandorasTaleWiki" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#PandorasTaleWiki</a> <a href="https://transgirl.cafe/tags/ComicsByXan" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ComicsByXan</a> <a href="https://transgirl.cafe/tags/Webcomics" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Webcomics</a> <a href="https://transgirl.cafe/tags/Homestuck" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Homestuck</a> <a href="https://transgirl.cafe/tags/MSPaintAdventures" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#MSPaintAdventures</a> <a href="https://transgirl.cafe/tags/Miraheze" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Miraheze</a> <a href="https://transgirl.cafe/tags/Wiki" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Wiki</a> <a href="https://transgirl.cafe/tags/Wikis" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Wikis</a> <a href="https://transgirl.cafe/tags/WebcomicWiki" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#WebcomicWiki</a> <a href="https://transgirl.cafe/tags/MediaWiki" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#MediaWiki</a> <a href="https://transgirl.cafe/tags/Git" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Git</a> <a href="https://transgirl.cafe/tags/PlainText" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#PlainText</a> <a href="https://transgirl.cafe/tags/GemText" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#GemText</a> <a href="https://transgirl.cafe/tags/GeminiProtocol" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#GeminiProtocol</a> <a href="https://transgirl.cafe/tags/Markdown" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Markdown</a> <a href="https://transgirl.cafe/tags/MD" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#MD</a> <a href="https://transgirl.cafe/tags/SourceHut" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SourceHut</a> <a href="https://transgirl.cafe/tags/srht" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#srht</a> <a href="https://transgirl.cafe/tags/Forgejo" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Forgejo</a> <a href="https://transgirl.cafe/tags/Gitlab" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Gitlab</a>

Jons MostovojsI understand that <a href="https://social.doma.dev/tags/nix" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#nix</a> fetchers "set a dangerous precedent" and this is why, say, <a href="https://social.doma.dev/tags/srht" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#srht</a> fetcher or other fetchers won't ever be accepted and <a href="https://social.doma.dev/tags/github" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#github</a> shall have that socially privileged status...But I also want to confess that the existence of fetchers make me so happy.I really don't mind hosting or mirroring my stuff on <a href="https://social.doma.dev/tags/github" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#github</a> because I don't have the time to pick _alll_ the battles.

Ryan Makes, DreamscaperAnyone else publishing Markdown -> Static Site Generator here? Logseq -> Sourcehut is my setup and I'll be making it sing over the next month.Curious about what y'all are working with :)<a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/markdown" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#markdown</a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/ssg" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ssg</a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/logseq" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#logseq</a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/srht" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#srht</a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/publishing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#publishing</a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/git" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#git</a>

JordiGHOh, look, that's so cute, draft commits have a little "under construction" colouring in <a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/Mercurial" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Mercurial</a> when using <a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/SrHt" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SrHt</a>/#Sourcehut.Can your git do THIS?

JordiGHI keep forgetting that <a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/SourceHut" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SourceHut</a> <a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/SrHt" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SrHt</a> is a fully-featured <a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/Mercurial" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Mercurial</a> host. It even lets you set publishing on or off!

Free Pietje 🇵🇸 🍉Drew explicitly doesn't mention his own project/company, so I will: <a href="https://sourcehut.org/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://sourcehut.org/</a>For $20 a YEAR, you can be an 'Amateur Hacker' level supporter of his FULLY FLOSS platform. If you believe in 'voting with your wallet', that's an excellent way to support and promote FLOSS alternatives.There are also other plans for $50 or $100 although it currently doesn't provide extra features.
