Announcing Ibis, the federated Wikipedia Alternative

I don't think a federated wiki is solving any of the problems of wikipedia. You've just made a wiki that is more easily spammed and will have very few contributors. Yes, Wikipedia is centralized, but it's a good thing. No one has to chase down the just perfect wikipedia site to find general information, just the one. The negative of wikipedia is more its sometimes questionable moderation and how its english-centric. This has more to do with fundamentally unequal internet infrastructure in most countries than anything though. Imperialism holds back tech.

I agree that it might be fine for niche wikis but again, why in the world would you ever want your niche wiki federated? Sounds like a tech solution looking for the wrong problem.

Firefox looks so much better than Chrome

Reply in thread

You can but it won't be respected. It will continue to default to their included Noto fonts despite whatever font you select. You can test this yourself. I'm sure they do it for some "privacy reason" but if I wanted that trade off I'd simply use the Tor Browser or one of those hardened firefox profiles.

Logseq: A privacy-first, open-source platform for knowledge management.

The main thing that has prevented me from using Logseq is the general slugish or delayed feeling of the GUI. It's not significant but enough that after using it for 2 months I swapped back to org-mode in Emacs. Even though I love org mode for general project planning, task management (gtd) and such, I have never found a comfortable workflow for actually writing non-code/non-markup in Emacs. The logseq experience of writing notes was immediately comfortable for me. Just wish it was fast.

error using drakma http-request

Not a great answer but I suspect this is Windows being crap. Lisp and windows have never been that great of an experience. Drakma works fine on my Fedora box.

Also, wrap your code in tick marks:
`(setf drakma:*header-stream* *standard-output*)`

(setf drakma:*header-stream* *standard-output*)

You reached the end
