Does anyone here know what happened by chance?
Boop. I’m still alive. /wave.
In a heart-breaking experience, I had to take an escape hatch due to a serious and perhaps on-going threat against my household (I came to realize an expedited restraining order was not enough). I am proud to say I didn’t go offline (though I did drop off the web for a few days during the crisis), but only someone who carefully used the information on my [[Connect]] page would have been able to follow me (to my knowledge, none made it that far). For now, I [[aim]] to limit my attack surface while remaining on the web for [[other]]s’ convenience. I try to maintain a low profile even though I’m obligated to speak in public.
Among other gateways (some more long-standing and available than others), you may find me here: https://h0p3.neocities.org/.
I didn’t realize that website was also gone,
It seems many of my old [[Root Users]] have become hard to find online. I miss hearing from them often.
I always thought the way they used ascii art was amazing. reminded me of some of the cool works you can find pictures of from BBS’s
Thank you. I would like to recommend my [[friend]] [[sideria]]'s TW, https://wiki.sideria.site. I’m looking forward to seeing where he takes it.
That’s a great shame, I was also a fan of https://philosophers.life/.
I remain indebted to you and this community for constructing the only tool of its kind. There’s still nothing in the same league as TW for my kind of work. Thank you.
It made an excellent demonstration of TiddlyWiki.
Thank you. That’s high praise. I’d like to thank you for allowing me to have a very special relationship with my offspring, [[1uxb0x]] and [[j3d1h]], who each wrote several thousand tiddlers over the years with [[my wife]] and me. TW has been among the most important teaching and communication tools I’ve ever encountered (and were I teaching at university again, its use would be required of all my students). We also spent a lot of [[Family Time]] every week reading each other’s wikis. Those memories are some of the highlights of my life as a father, and it has changed so much about who we are. Thank you, sir.
The archive includes captures of the site up until December 28th 2022, but the later snapshots take a long time to load properly, and crash with a RSOE.
Is there something I should do to solve that RSOE popup? I’ve run into a few people who knew they could download it straight from archive.org for a working copy, but most don’t know that TW is capable of such a thing.
I’m saying nothing new to you, but I think I should say it anyway. Though I wish there were a way to make it load faster (it’s now ~58MB in size after writing basically every single day for seven years), I’m [[grateful]] to have the opportunity to have web archiving tools and p2p filesharing networks archive and distribute the complete copy (well, minus the [[Verify]] problem). Longevity and completeness in digital archiving isn’t easy, and TW’s singefile is so well-suited to it. Because of it, I can live on networks that are reduced to simple file transfer services. I know several people who, like me, aren’t as skilled with computers as you are, and TW allows them to own their platform, even in the shadows.

I’ll put the site in the next newsletter as a showcase. Maybe they’ll see this thread or see the newsletter and reply.
I’m sorry I’m late in responding to the beetlejuice (I’ve been careful in responding elsewhere, including scrubbing). I just stumbled upon your words today in a routine rabbithole. I was speaking with [[ChatGPT]] about why TW probably can’t be completely re-written in a language compiling to WASM given that the language may never have direct access to the DOM for security reasons (which isn’t to say there’s no optimization possible). Went hunting a bit and saw the newsletter.
!! @All
Given what little I understand about WASM, unless unlikely important changes toward open and increased user agency are made by the G-entity, I no longer believe I will be transplanting my work into a fully portable Linux environment for the web. I should probably work toward doubling down on TW at this point. Does that sound about right to ya?
I need guidance. Feel free to ignore anything I say please.
I haven’t been able to update my TW without breaking it (and I have no idea how to fix it; I just write in it at this point), and I also continue to use a correspondingly old copy of TW5-Bob because I’ve grown quite dependent upon the ability to access it over multiple tabs (unfortunately, it has grown unstable over our LAN - and I have little doubt it is because I have not been able to upgrade). The upgrade is beyond my skill given the time I have. I’m privileged enough to be able to pay for help now, and I was wondering if you think it’s feasible to find an expert to help me upgrade my TW. We’re pretty lost here at [[The Alien Asylum]].
I’m also reaching a point where there are almost no new users who don’t complain about the performance of my wiki, which is mostly a downloading problem. And, again, I am grateful to neocities who generously provides old school web hosting to a random [[pseudonymous|anonymous]] person like me. I am not complaining, I’m only stating the facts as I understand them: their single-threaded upload throughput may be bottlenecked, which exacerbates the wait. Loading over a tor hidden service or an i2p eepsite has grown egregious enough that one begins the process of downloading and then walks away to complete chores before anything functional loads (and, yet, I prize the fact that a reader has complete privacy and offline-usability in these cases). I don’t mind that we must be patient, and waiting to load a site isn’t egregious to a person from the dial-up era. I’m hoping there might be some improvements to make (I’d be surprised if newer versions of TW5 weren’t computationally more efficient as well), especially as I anticipate the wiki will only continue to grow in size.
Though I prize singlefile, I’m wondering if it’s possible to have something like singlefile lazyloading. [[This|https://www.reddit.com/r/TiddlyWiki5/comments/11ld4zt/can_a_singlefile_tw_read_data_from_an_external/]] is pretty close to the basic function I’m hunting for, I believe. Having something functional beyond a background gif might be useful, but I don’t know if that’s feasible. It might provide an opportunity for multi-threaded downloads too. It might just be what it is, and there’s gonna be prices to pay somewhere.
One route I have wondered about before is zstd with a custom dictionary. I’m currently testing to see if I can beat gzip by a serious margin.
I’m going to be archiving my [[Link Log]] (close to 50k links), and, for those who would seed the mutable torrent (or rip the whole archive through other means), I’d like to make it consumable from within the TW. Is there an ideal way to do this, or any gotchas worth considering?
Have you encountered anyone fine-tuning LLMs with their TW?
Also a huge fan.
It’s a pleasure to meet you.

I’m [[lucky]] to encounter many who start and continue using TW to have a long-term discussion with me. I met Madame Senpai [[chameleon]] in 2018. After coming across my work a couple times, she began speaking with me over a TW in [[2019|2019.07.16 - chameleon: I’m Sorry]] until our dialectic [[faded in 2022|@: chameleon]] (you may find the nearly complete transcript of our interactions over the years sprawling in my wiki). I treasure my copy of her work, and have diligently archived her words for us. I hope one day she will come back to write in public.
GitHub - whacked/tiddlywiki-org: TiddlyWiki 5 + emacs + org-mode = awesome · GitHub is dope, btw, and I think she would like it as well.
I’ve [[recent]]ly encountered someone who has millions of words written, and I’m hoping [[they|Feel Good Lost]]'ll continue to reveal themselves through their [[TW|Public Self-Model]].
!! @Scribs
this was quite a deep dive having not seen either for those sites before, thank you for sharing! and if either of these people do find this post, thank you for your inspiring wikis!
It’s my honor. If you ever happen to [[share]] yours, I’d be glad to read it.
