can't decide whether to keep this thing http://notes.12bit.club/ as a mediawiki or migrate it to something more lightweight/custom like what i have at http://repo.12bit.club/
its just a place where i post pics and info about random consoles i have & that shouldn't really need all the overhead of a full ass collaborative wiki software but i do find many of its features useful even for that purpose
I guess maybe I'll keep it as is??? because my other choices are either adding a bunch of extra functionality to the 12bit repo software Or finding something else entirely to run it on and neither of those seem that attractive at the moment. idk
i should probably at least create a more definitive separation between this being for consoles and 12bit repo being for carts though
well the rebrand is underway......
I've changed the name, logo, subdomain, and rewritten the intro page http://museum.12bit.club
other things i might do short-term i guess?
* set up SSL on it? i barely even remember how i did that on the other domains but god if browsers these days don't make you feel like a dickhead if you don't have it
* might get rid of Semantic MediaWiki cos its a big heavy extension that I really only used to generate some lists & tbh I can do that by hand (I thought there would be a LOT more lists)
The Semantic MediaWiki thing tbh is also a holdover from an old idea I had to do a big comprehensive database of plug n play consoles with the games that are on them all cross referenced to each other, that idea went through multiple iterations before being flushed down the crapper but I did still end up installing that "what if wiki but also database" extension into my notes wiki even if its utility ended up being reduced to a fancy list generator in the end
honestly think the plug n play db idea was still a good one but let's face it I'm just not the person to see it through
@mavica_again tbh there's not much to help with at this point, I abandoned the idea probably 10 years ago so it'd be practically starting over & I don't really have it in me to commit to that rn. sorry
@lion if there's anything i can do to help. if you wanna send me the devices themselves to document, i think i could have some fun doing that. but no pressure
@mavica_again I mean yeah if you wanted to help out with documenting stuff for the current museum wiki thing you probably could! I'll message you when I've had some sleep
Sorry I thought you were asking about the plug n play db thing specifically which was a separate much deader project
I probably didn't explain my shit very well
@lion oh no i did mean the plug n play db!! but if you have other tat you want me to look at i'd be happy to as well
@lion SSL is pretty easy now through ACME clients now thankfully, can have a script set to auto renew and just point to the certificate file in the server config
I think I'm gonna at least a) yes definitively make the one thing for consoles and the other thing for carts and b) rename "12bit notepad" because it really isn't just a thing for notes anymore -
I was thinking "12bit museum" because I think that encapsulates it pretty nicely as being a place to showcase & document my collection with supplementary info rather than anything aimed at being a comprehensive resource.
I am bad at naming though so I'm open to suggestions
