@shenki @meso I am convinced that wikis don't make sense for most online documentation, and Mediawikis least of all. If someone is still convinced that they need a wiki these days, they are likely just going through some mental checklist that hasn't changed since 2005.

An actual documentation management platform like RTD that is backed by a git repository makes so much more sense. Plus maybe a Q&A platform. Not a wiki.

Lots of wikis got murdered today, including git.wiki.kernel.org. The remaining mediawikis are actually used and I can't just murder them outright. :)

Augh, I need to get my inbox debt down. If you emailed me and I haven't responded, I'm really sorry. I'll try to fix this asap.

If you have a choice of becoming Alan Turing or Elon Musk, always choose to become Alan Turing.

Elon Musk would call for the prosecution of Alan Turing for violating the Enigma manufacturer's intellectual property rights.

@yuri Hmm.. no, never mind, I can't make anyone show up as verified Torvalds on github, because this requires a record on the github side of things.

Okay, I will give this some extra props. However, as instance admin I can still speak for anyone who is verified on my instance, so you're still never sure who is really speaking as "verified user."

@yuri Yes, but where does the info from the user profile come from? You still have to trust the original instance admins to not have tampered with it. I can make any user on my instance to show up as "verified torvalds on github".

I still consider this largely "validation theatre," unfortunately -- largely for the same reason "green title bar extended validation" certificates didn't stick around.

@lightmoll Unfortunately, all of these discussions will inevitably go back to "self-sovereign identities are the only answer, but we can't possibly make them scale." :)

"Verified on Mastodon" is meaningless if you don't 100% trust that instance's admins.

@kdave btw, we can make it be served from an ad-free btrfs.docs.kernel.org domain if you like.

@kdave it wasn't on the chopping block yet anyway, but I'm glad you're on top of things! :)

The wiki murdering spree is now en vigueur, starting with rt.wiki.kernel.org. More murders to be committed tomorrow.

Chillsynth / retrowave album recommendations? Has to have actual melody, not just chords morphing one into another.
