Out of interest, why wouldn't PHP be a consideration? I thought it was pretty good now a days...

Yeah, half baked anything is going to screw you over. INI files are certainly programmatically serialisable, otherwise they wouldn't exist. It does move the datatypes to the program rather than being encoded in the config though, which adds to program overhead. Horses for courses though, with greater flexibility comes greater potential to f*uk it up.

I don't order my keys at all. All mine are on a carabiner, for maximum flexibility, it's modular. I'm not taking anything but my front door key for a dog walk, for example. All my separate keys have individual clips too.

The idea is to only have the keys I need for a particular journey.

Is there a bus version? This is excellent.

Chrome is worse than Firefox, literally a name and URL for a link and name for folder. At least with Firefox you can tag bookmarks and use keywords.

I'm curious how Firefox comes off worse in your view, chrome seems to provide basic usage which Firefox also provides.

EDIT: just saw your other reply about it. Definitely can't agree, there's nothing fiddly with the way Firefox allows you to move, create, rename, delete, or update links and folders. Same functionality as chrome as far as I can tell.

> I think Zim does not really fit into the discussion because it does not rely on easily exchangeable standard software like a file explorer and browsers.

Zim is very much based on the file system. Each note is a text file and if it has attachments or embedded images they go into a folder named after that text note.

Whilst not in markdown the markup used is easy to understand and convert. Zim itself allows you to copy a note to the clipboard in pandoc markdown and export the note to markdown and/or html (though admittedly the styling for html it atrocious).

I couldn't agree more. Bookmarks are simply an after thought today, like RSS. I'm looking for a browser with decent bookmark management. Even just a notes field and a saved snapshot feature would do me. Currently I'm using Zotero for this, but it's a little OTT as a bookmark manager.

As a British national I like to think git is a very descriptive name, because git is a git to use and understand.

Came here for a martial arts tutorial, which I thought was a bit weird to see front page on HN, and now I see an alternative to git.

I don't particularly like git and for personal projects use fossil instead.

Without going through the whole tutorial, and doing a lot more reading, why should I consider using this over fossil?

Nothing, I'm too busy swearing at the computer and threatening to break it in various ways, until I realise I was missing a semi-colon, or I've misspelled a keyword, or any number of other reasons that make me a bad programmer.

Why not use a wiki? Zim desktop is text based local first. It doesn't handle videos but everything is handled. Search is good and you get the other benefits of a wiki. No mobile client, that I'm aware of.

Thanks for this, never knew it existed. Wondering now if there's region specific current events.
